NTRP Seeding Info
Please find the link(s) to the NTRP Seeding Report(s) for Super #1
below. The USTA MV bases seeding off the most recent NTRP Rating list
published at the time the draws are made. For USTA MV Super #1, this
means the singles seeding list differs from the list used for doubles.
The Junior Competition Committee will be evaluating this process for
future tournaments and appreciates your patience.

Per the USTA MV Junior Regulations, players are expected to play
the tournament to completion unless for reasons of illness, injury
or personal circumstance. USTA MV Junior Regulations 27 and
37 will be strictly enforced at this tournament and failure to
complete all mandatory matches will result in the appropriate
penalties. Failure to complete a match to get home earlier or not
to miss school is not considered a valid personal circumstance.
Instead, players should not register for this tournament unless
able to play the entire event.
If you are not sure if you have registered correctly, you may
check your registration two different ways:
1. Check the confirmation email sent to you by TennisLink. The
email will indicate which events you are registered for. There will
be an "s" next to the age division to indicate registration for
singles, and a "d" next to the age division to indicate
registration for doubles. Please note, that although you may have
registered for doubles, you must still follow the process outlined
below to be fully registered.
2. Check the "Applicants" tab on the tournament homepage. Next to
your name you will see the event(s) and division(s) for which you
have successfully registered. If you successfully registered with a
partner your partner's name will also appear on your
registration.
Entering Multiple Age Divisions - When entries close, a
player may be entered in up to two age divisions. The USTA Missouri
Valley selects players for the singles main draws in the following
order: 18, 16, 14, 12. Unless otherwise notified at
chambers@movalley.usta.com, a player entered in two divisions will
be placed in the older age division should the player qualify for
both divisions. If a player is entered in two age divisions and is
selected into the older division, that player shall not be eligible
for selection into the younger division and will be removed from
the alternates list. If a player is not selected for the older
division, that player is eligible for selection in the younger
division and is eligible to be an alternate in the younger division
but not the older division. If the player does not qualify for
either division, the player will be placed on the alternates list
of the younger age division and removed from the alternates list of
the older age division as players can only be on the alternates
list for one division.

Schedule
This event is a Friday-Sunday tournament. You

Doubles - Players must play the same age division in singles
and doubles, but you do not have to be in the singles draw to play
doubles. Any doubles entries that are not done online, need to be
emailed to the tournament director by the Monday before the start
of the tournament.
There are two ways in which a team will be placed in
the doubles draw.
1. If both members of the team sign up with each other online, and
both have gained entry into singles they will be placed on the draw
at the time of singles selection. BOTH partners must have indicated
each other as partners to be considered. If both signed up together
online, but one of the players did not make the singles draw, it
will be necessary to follow step 2 below to confirm your
registration
2. After on-line singles registration closes, a team may be
placed in the draw by contacting the tournament director
(information above) with your partner's information by 12:00 PM on
the Monday before the start of the tournament. Both partners need
to contact the tournament director to verify the team. If both
players do not confirm with the tournament director, the team will
not be accepted into the draw. Again, if you registered for doubles
correctly in step 1, but one player did not make the singles draw,
please confirm with the tournament director that you would still
like to be considered for doubles only. If you do not confirm, it
will be assumed that you do not wish to play doubles.
If you do not have a partner, email the tournament
director by the above deadline and let them know you would like to
be placed into the blind draw. If you are placed in the blind draw,
it is not guaranteed that there will be a partner for you. Teams in
the blind draw are selected at random and there is not always an
even number of players to be paired. Thanks for your
understanding.
Please make every effort to secure a partner and register online
correctly prior to the entry deadline. This requires your partners
USTA number upon registration.

need to be done through the online registration process. Click on
the "Withdraw" link in the Edit Registration box to complete. Your
credit card will not be charged if you withdraw before the entry
deadline. Click on the "Locate Confirmation Number" link if you
have misplaced the confirmation number.
After the Entry Deadline: Withdrawals done after entries
close need to be emailed to the tournament director at the address

to provide documentation will result in Suspension Points.
On-Site Alternates - Players who applied for entry into the
tournament but were not accepted into the draw may choose to be an
on-site alternate. On-site alternates will be listed in the order
in which their names appear on the USTA MV Standing List that was
