- NJP follows USAP rules, but is not a USAP sanctioned tournament.
- NJP has no requirements that paddles be USAP or UPA-A approved. Junior players, especially beginners, use a wide variety of paddles from various brands that may or may not be approved. NJP doesn’t want to cause stress or additional costs for Junior players entering the game if they are not aware of their paddle status. We also understand that the paddle approval landscape is constantly changing and do not want to affect Juniors or their families until there are clear and definitive guidelines across the industry.
