NEW Forum Topic:
USTA 2021 Tournament Changes -
Voluntary Consolations

Dear Subscriber First Name,

In a continuing effort to give voice to our members and share feedback with the USTA Adult Competition Committee, we continue our Forum series regarding the upcoming USTA tournament changes in 2021. We have posted a new topic about the Voluntary Consolations for National singles events, which will be the mandatory format for these events.

For Level 1 and 2 tournaments in 2021, there will be a voluntary sign-up consolation for all singles events. If a participant loses a match, it will be the participant's responsibility to go to the tournament desk and sign-up for the consolation round. The consolation matches will most often be held the next day. Once all the voluntary sign-ups have been received for the day, the tournament director will organize matches for the consolation round. The daily voluntary consolation draw will be created with players listed in the order they have signed up at the tournament desk. For example, if Alan, Bob, Chuck and Dennis sign up in that order, they would go into positions 1, 2, 3 and 4 in the consolation draw. All winners who desire to continue playing must sign up following their win in a consolation round match for the following day's consolation. Players will then be placed in the draw in the order they sign up. Tournament directors should, if possible, create a draw of those players losing in the consolation rounds so that these players can continue to play more matches. The daily voluntary consolation for those losing matches is at the discretion of the tournament director.
