The USTA NorCal Grand Prix is a series of tournaments linked together by a point system to determine invitation to the Grand Prix playoffs for NTRP and senior players. The Points Per Round System will be used to calculate the Grand Prix points accumulated in all tournaments played during the Grand Prix season. The Grand Prix tournaments will not count toward Grand Prix standings for Seniors or NTRP. The Grand Prix Points Race is the list type used for Grand Prix selection for both NTRP and Seniors.

To be eligible for the Grand Prix tournaments and/or prize money players must be USTA NorCal members. The Grand Prix tournaments will count toward monthly standings and year-end NorCal rankings. The players must register in order to be considered no matter how highly they are ranked.

The top 8 entries in each category will be invited to play in the NTRP Grand Prix event. The top 16 entries in each category will be invited to play in the Senior Grand Prix event. Doubles teams for all adult Grand Prix events will be selected by combining the two partners' individual points and inviting those teams with the highest combined totals. Should a tie exist in determining the last invited position for the Grand Prix tournament in an NTRP or senior division, the following criteria will be used, in order, until the tie is broken: most tournaments played; most matches played; head-to-head matches won; coin toss.

Players will play one match in each event each day at the Grand Prix. There are no schedule accommodations. Players may register for as many events as they please, but may only play two events in the Grand Prix. (New for 2007)

Effective October 1, 2006 (Beginning of 2007 GP Point Race), players wishing to qualify for the NTRP Grand Prix will be required to compete in a minimum number of tournaments to participate in that event at the NTRP Grand Prix.

USTA NorCal awards NTRP and Senior Singles Player of the Year and Doubles teams of the Year for each division. These awards are given to the person or team with the highest number of points in the Grand Prix season. The doubles award is based on the team list.
