USTA NORCAL SUPER SERIES TOURNAMENT RULES
Super Series.
Super Series Tournaments are ratings-based singles tournaments for advanced players offered in the 18 and 14 divisions. Players with similar ability are grouped into 8-player compass draws. Players that typically enter the 12 division should play the 14 division. Players that typically enter the 16 division should play the 16 division. Tournaments will take place over a 2-day sanction period. All events use a yellow ball on a 78’ court and a player’s racquet may not exceed 29" in length.
i. Pathway Eligibility - Players Aged 12 Years and Younger.
To enter and play in a Super Series Tournament, players must players must be at least 8 years of age and first fulfill the pathway requirements as set forth in Rule 10. ii. Draw Size and Type. 64 total players per gender will compete in each Super Series. Players will be flighted into draws of 8 as described below. The draw format will be a compass draw with a playoff for 3rd and 4th place.
iii. Selection. Players will be selected based on the most recently available Universal Tennis Ratings as follows:
a. 18 Divisions. The top 32 rated boys and top 32 rated girls with timely entries, regardless of age, are selected for the boys’ and girls’ 18 division events.
b. 14 Divisions. The top 32 rated boys and top 32 rated girls with timely entries that meet the age eligibility requirements for a 14-and-under division tournament, will be selected for the boys’ and girls’ 14 Division events. If a player has entered and been selected for the 18 Division, they must play the higher division. (See Concurrent Tournament Rule 6.B.iii. for entering two divisions).
In the event two or more players have the same rating, the tie will be broken as set forth in Rule 11.I.vii. below.
iv. Concurrent Event Selection Order. Concurrent 18 and 14 division Super Series and UTR Round Robin Tournaments are held and concurrent entry is permitted (see Rule 6.B.iii.). Selection will first be done by USTA NorCal staff for the Super Series in descending division order (18 division, followed by 14 division). A player entered in both tournaments that is not accepted into the 18 division Super Series will be eligible for selection into the 14 division Super Series. A player entered in a Super Series and UTR Round Robin that is not accepted into the Super Series will be eligible for selection into the UTR Round Robin Tournament. A player may be an alternate for all tournaments; however once a player accepts a position in a draw of one tournament that player may not subsequently withdraw from that tournament to play in the other. Doing so is a violation of the Concurrent Tournament Rule.
