LTA Weeklong:

• A Player can only enter one competition at each grade in the same age group (where that age group is 11U – Open) taking place during one week.
• For the avoidance of doubt, the competition week runs from Sunday through to Saturday. Some competitions that run for 8 days may start on the day preceding the competition week, or finish the day after the competition week, but fall into the competition week where the majority of the competition is held.
• The LTA Weeklong Overlapping Competition Regulation will apply to all LTA Sanctioned Grade 3 weeklong holiday tournaments.
• The LTA Weeklong regulation will only apply to 11U, 12U, 14U, 16U, 18U and Open singles events.
• The LTA Weeklong regulation does not apply to Christmas Holiday Tournaments.
• The LTA Weeklong regulation does not apply to Doubles events.
