TOURNAMENT OVERVIEW
Coed Round Robin tournaments are new to
the NorCal Junior Tournament Calendar. These intermediate level,
two-day events are co-ed tournaments and 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 flighted with other players
with similar ability into round robins of four (4) by their Universal
Tennis Ratings (UTR), regardless of gender and age. For example, you can be a
13-year-old and be grouped with three other 17-year-old of similar ratings in
the same draw. Each player will play three singles matches using the best of 3 set
match 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
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 for a Super Series and group them into Compass Draws. The
rating is based on a player’s most recent 30 singles match results so long as
they took place in the 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. To learn more about
Universal Tennis Ratings, click the link:
