• To participate in this year’s tournament,
a player must have participated in at
least one of the qualifying USAPA-
sanctioned events between July
16, 2018, and July 15, 2019. It is not
necessary to have participated in
one-for-one events. For example,
if you played mixed in a sanctioned
tournament, you are eligible to
participate in singles, doubles, and
mixed doubles.
• To view the full list of qualifying
tournaments, visit the FAQ “Who is
eligible to play in the USAPA National
Tournament?“
• If a player does not live in the U.S. for
more than three months a year and
is not able to participate in a USAPA-
sanctioned tournament, he/she may
request a hardship exemption from
the Tournament Director. Like all
participants, international players are
still required to have a valid USAPA
membership through the duration of the
National Championships. The following
list of Regional and Tier II events are
the qualifiers for the 2019 National
Championships: https://www.usapa.
org/2019-national-qualifiers-july-15-
2018-july-15-2019/.
• Pro event entrants must have a
minimum of a 5.0 USAPA rating by
July 31, 2019. Events may open to
4.5 USAPA rated players, depending
on participation levels in each event.
(Example, this is your rating as of July
1, 2019. Player ratings changing to 4.5
or 5.0 October 1 will be reviewed as
requested to play in Pro events based
on availability.)
