NJP Regional Overview

This Juniors-Only tournament is open to players aged 8-18 of all skill levels and will have a clinic & evaluation session (evening day 1), singles competition (day 2), doubles competition (day 3) and 4-player Team Competition (day 4).

Each division follows a round-robin format, leading to playoffs and medal rounds, so every player is guaranteed at least four matches.  The top three finishers in each division will receive a medal. Gold Medalists of each Advanced Skill/Age Division for Singles or Doubles events will receive FREE entry into the NJP Championship Cup in October.

Doubles and Team events are Co-Ed, meaning boys and girls compete together and can be the same gender or mixed gender of any combination (example a team can have 3 boys and 1 girl OR 4 girls OR 2 boys 2 girls, or any other combination).

All players must have a (free) DUPR account before the start of the tournament. All singles and doubles matches are reported to DUPR, however Team Competition matches will NOT be reported.
