Notes

POINTS: TX Section: Adult-400; Senior-200; Super Sr-200.
National: Sectional Championships: 2x.

SEEDING: USTA Texas recommends the "All Factors Method" of seeding for Ad/Sr/SS divisions and that Committees use the Texas 12 Month Rolling Standings List for initial considerations. If other information is to be considered (such as head-to-head wins), emails must be sent to the Tournament Director immediately after the entry deadline.

Adult division Format: Two-of-three sets with ad scoring.
Weather conditions during the tournament may change this scheduled format.

Effective 1-1-2018: NTRP TX Sanctioned players are required to Self Rate, if they have no rating. If a player enters and plays a TX Sanctioned tournament levels division with a "0.0" rating, they will be notified that Self Ratings are now required for play in levels divisions in Texas Sanctioned Tournaments. A player violating this rule by playing in a levels division in a second sanctioned tournament without a self rating will receive an automatic 30 day suspension and any points earned from those tournaments will be removed.

Adult / Senior / Super Senior players and teams:
USTA rules state that in a Round Robin draw, "a player who is defaulted for any reason other than lateness shall not play in subsequent matches and may not be declared the winner of the round robin." [Friend at Court Reg. II.B.6.d.] Therefore, if a player or team defaults, they will not be allowed to play the Rounds following that defaulted match, and if subsequent matches are played, the draw will be changed to show default(s) which will result in win(s) for the opposing player(s) or team(s).

Messages

Excessive Overrule Guideline: The USTA Texas Officials Committee along with the Competitive Department has established a guideline in reference to excessive overrules as clarified in the Friend at Court. This guideline states "Once a player has been overruled for a second time in a match, they will be cautioned that after another overrule, they will be penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct under the point penalty system."

Inappropriate umpire/spectator communication, whether it be about a ruling or any other facet of a tennis event is prohibited while a match is in progress. Being a parent, coach, etc. does not endow special privileges. With the only exception of the right to remove their own child from competition at any time, a parent or coach is merely a spectator.

Player Selection Type

No Selection Process. All registered players will be selected.

Entry Type

Entry to this tournament is open to all USTA members. Entries must be submitted by Tuesday, March 20, 2018 11:59:00 PM Central Time. Only USTA members can register online if available.
