Players who withdraw -- for any reason -- after draws are posted will incur a $30 penalty. A 10-point deduction in PATS points will also be recorded for event(s) entered.

Players who do not show up for their matches (no shows) will incur a $50 penalty before being able to enter future PATS tournaments. No shows will also receive a 10-point deduction in PATS points.

In order to withdraw from a tournament, please contact the tournament director. Contact information can be found on registration forms, in confirmation emails, and at the bottom of this page.

Registration for tournaments opens two weeks prior to the tournament date. Mixed doubles registration closes at 11:59 p.m. the Monday before the tournament is set to play. Open tournament registration closes at 11:59 p.m. on the Tuesday before the tournament is set to play.

Participants may enter via phone after registration closes as long as draws have not been posted.
The fee for registering after a tournament's registration has closed is $40. 

Once draws have been posted, NO LATE ENTRIES WILL BE ACCEPTED.

NOTE: Rules regarding PATS points were revised in 2018 and are still current.

Players will receive FOUR POINTS per win in the CHAMPIONSHIP side of a draw. A win following a bye will award EIGHT POINTS.

Players will receive ONE POINT per win in the CONSOLATION side of a draw. A win in consolation following a bye will award TWO POINTS.

Players will receive EIGHT BONUS POINTS for winning a CHAMPIONSHIP (in singles only).

A 10 POINT DEDUCTION will be made for any withdrawal or no show.

In 2019, tournament directors have agreed to enter PATS matches into UTR - Universal Tennis Rating - so that PATS results can contribute toward player ratings. In order for this to work efficiently, it is REQUIRED that all PATS participants have a profile on UTR. 

Please note that these profiles MUST BE CLAIMED in order for tournament directors to put results into UTR. Please visit UTR to ensure that your profile has been properly claimed.
