Entry Policy & Deadlines ## Entries Open TDs must encourage all players to enter on the tournament's registration page prior to the entry deadline. All players need **1) a free WPR profile (worldpadelrating.com) for any tournament + 2) either a free USA account or a paid USA membership (padelusa.org/members) depending on the tournament**, whether that is to enter themselves or to be entered as someone's partner. USA Padel/WPR cannot assist in manually entering players. Video instructions for players for how to register, if needed, are available here: Women are permitted to play Men's divisions either as woman/woman teams or as woman/man teams, but do not receive USPA ranking points for matches played in Men's. ## Membership Requirements * **USA 100:** **Free USA account** is sufficient. * **USA 250+ & Seniors:** **Paid USA membership** required. The **registration page** will guide players to obtain any required credentials during entry. ## Entry Deadlines * **USA 100:** **Monday 11:00pm local time** (tournament week). No exceptions. * **USA 250+ & Seniors:** **Thursday 11:00pm local time** (week **before** the tournament). No exceptions. Please encourage players to enter on time. You may accept **late entries**, entering them yourself in the TMS; keep in mind the extra work of collecting their payment and to determine their seeding, if any, by cross-referencing the team’s combined USPA ranking points, and to do so with enough time to publish draws & schedule before the Tuesday (USA 100s)/Monday (USA 250+ & Seniors) 3pm local time publish deadline. See Instructions section below for details. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://uspa-wpr.gitbook.io/docs/instructions/entry-policy.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
