Counting Points Up effective Jan. 1, 2017
To align with USTA National and Southern, USTA Georgia Junior
Competition Committee has approved an amendment that will affect
how Georgia standings will be calculated. Beginning January 1,
2017, the singles and doubles results for each player earned in a
division for the previous 12-month period shall be counted as
results in the next-older division at 20%. As such, players will no
longer be considered for selection based on their lower age
division standings. A description of this new amendment may be
found on the USTA Southern website at:
