Mailing instructions are on the bottom of the Housing Contract. Any request for Housing received after July 28th is not guaranteed and will be provided only if additional space is available. Housing will be provided for players only.
Housing will be provided beginning on the day of Tournament Registration, Saturday, August 8th, and will terminate the morning following the day of elimination from the tournament. Requests for specific housing or roommates will be honored, if possible. All placements by the Housing Chair will be final. Housing in private homes will consist of sleeping quarters, breakfast and dinner, and transportation to the Berkeley Tennis Club and home each day. Players must follow the Housing Rules in the Housing Contract. If the Housing Rules are broken, the Tournament Committee will terminate the housing and will report the player to the Sectional office and the USTA and, if appropriate, enforce the USTA's Suspension Point System.
Any special requests for housing to begin prior to August 8th or extend beyond the morning following the day of elimination from the tournament must receive prior approval of the Housing Chair and Tournament Committee.
