Teams advancing to the USTA League National Championships are required to pay an entry fee.
3 COURT TEAM ENTRY FEE: $400.00 (plus $40.88 processing fee)
5 COURT TEAM ENTRY FEE: $500.00 (plus $51.03 processing fee)
The team entry fee must be paid 30 days prior to the first day of championship play. Any team not registering by that time will be contacted by the national office to determine if they have withdrawn from the event. In that case, an alternate from their section will be asked to replace the team in the draw.
If your team is doing really well during the regular season, check the Championship pages to prepare your team for winning. There are sometimes wild cards given for Playoffs and/or Sectionals, so you there's a chance you could be going, even if you finish in second place.
Nationals are not offered for SCTA (Fall) Doubles season, but details for the other seasons are found on the right column of the "USTA" League National Championship" page linked above. Make sure you check the correct division, as the seasons are split into various levels. For example, 3.5 Adult Nationals are held at a different date and location from 4.0 Adult Nationals.
Tri-Level has Sectionals, but the Nationals is an "Invitational" event held during the final weekend of the BNP Paribas Open tournament held each March in Indian Wells. Details will be provided at Sectionals.
