SEEDING POLICY
Seeding for all of the Intermountain Tournaments (Intermountain Masters Series and Intermountain Championships) will be taken straight off of the current ITA Standing’s Lists, except if there is an exceptional player playing/aging up. An exceptional player is a player listed as top 100 in the lower age division based on the most current national standings list. This exceptional player will be considered for seeding. If this player or multiple players that meet this criteria do get seeded, they will take the last seeds in the seeding group (exceptional players cannot make up more than 25% of the seeds within a draw). DOUBLES SEEDS will be taken directly from the current ITA Individual Doubles Standings Lists. Consideration for seeding will be given for exceptional doubles teams, which are teams comprised of players who are ranked in the top 100 of the Combined National Standings in the lower age group.
