What are the benefits of batch entry?

• When you receive checks or entry forms, you can enter the players directly into the batch entry and not have to use TMS

• Online verification of players - No more need for TMS look-ups.
• System validates age, gender, NTRP (if applicable) and expiration date
• Adds the players to the applicant list without having to publish from TMS which creates a competitor list
• Download players into TMS. Players will automatically import into TMS into their appropriate events.

NOTE: Players will be included in the download from usta.com, but will not contain fee information, since the system assumes that you have taken payment manually. You can then update fee records in TMS, if you like.
