TOURNAMENT INFORMATION:

The Pre-Satellite tournament is designed so that entry-level players have an opportunity to participate in a tournament setting where they get to compete against a number of opponents during a set period of time (usually three hour blocks).

TOUNAMENT ELIGIBILITY:

Players cannot not have won three matches or more in a USTA Satellite singles tournament this year. If a player wins their division two times they must move up to the next division.

TOURNAMENT FEES:

$35 per player per event.  Players can register for non-sanctioned events online by clicking here.

Those events that are USTA sanctioned can be registered for by clicking here and visiting USTA’s Tennislink site.

Use OCCTA as the “keyword”. These events should be posted online within the next week.

Entries are due the Tuesday prior to the tournament. Players are limited to one event unless they get the directors permission. Deadline for entry is Tuesday, 1 PM, before each tournament. Match/division times will be available after 1 PM, Friday, before each tournament at the tournament home site. Fees must be in hands of the tournament director.

It is the player’s responsibility to look up their match/division start time on the tournament home site.

TOURNAMENT FORMAT:

The format is a round robin style where players compete against opponents of the same age bracket during a set period of time. For example, the B8 may be scheduled from 12 a.m. to 3 p.m., the G12 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. and so forth. Once the exact times are determined they will be posted on the tournament home site the Friday prior to the tournament. The total players in a division divided into 36 will determine the number of games played per round. For example, if there are 5 players in the B12 they will play a total 7 games a total against each opponent. If there are 8 players in the division they would play 4-5 games total (all no-add scoring) against each opponent. If draws are small, the tournament committee reserves the right to combine divisions (male or female) at their discretion. Trophies should still be given out for each age or gender.
