Online Entries and Withdrawals
All ITF Junior Circuit entries and withdrawals should be made online via the IPIN Online Service.
All players applying for entry shall be deemed to apply for entry into the Main Draw or the Qualifying.
A player may apply for entry into one (1) but not more than three (3) ITF Junior Circuit tournaments for a specific tournament week, and must indicate a priority at the time of entry. If no priority is stated, the ITF will assign a priority. A player may not apply for entry into an ITF Junior Circuit tournament if he/she has entered and is committed to another tournament during that period.
For more information please on entry procedures please refer to the ITF Junior Circuit Regulations.
