*** Tournament Overview ***
UTR Round Robin tournaments are new to
the NorCal Junior Tournament Calendar. These two-day events are open to
all players. Draws may be limited based on the court availability for
the tournament and the total number of players accepted must be
divisible by four. Players that enter will be competing with other
players with similar ability into round robins of four (4) by their
Universal Tennis Ratings (UTR), regardless of age. For example, you can
be a 13-year-old and be grouped with three other 17-year-olds of similar
ratings in the same draw. Each player will play three singles matches
using the best of 3 set with a match tie break for the 3rd format.
Players in the same round robin draw will be randomly paired into
doubles teams and will play one doubles match using the 8 game Pro-Set
format.
|
*** Universal Tennis Ratings (UTR) ***
Every NorCal player that has
competed in a USTA National or NorCal tournament that uses a yellow
tennis ball in the past 12 months has a Universal Tennis Rating. This is
the rating that is used to select players and group them into flights/events.
The rating is based on a player’s most recent 30 singles match results
so long as they took place in a 12-month period. Each player is assigned
a level (from 1 to 16, with 16 as the highest) based on the level of
their opponent and the match score. Levels are without regard to age or
gender.
