Parent Education Forum Presentation
Quite a few years ago, USTA North Carolina led the way with an online PowerPoint we called the Parent Education Forum. It began to give parents a better understanding of what a tennis parent needs to do, and not do, as it relates to their child and tennis. We also sprinkled some rules to help cut down on some confusion at the tournament sites. Since that time the USTA Southern Section has formed a Sportsmanship Task force to deal with the many issues that come our way that unfortunately involve parents much more than our kids. The video you are asked to watch is an expansion of what you have seen in previous years. It has changed and more information has been added to it that deals directly with sportsmanship. Therefore, in an effort to promote and encourage good sportsmanship among junior players and parents, USTA North Carolina and the USTA Southern Junior Competition Committee are asking all parents to visit the link below and view the presentation before having their child participate in any sanctioned tournament.

Seeding Process
The process is as follows: 1) Southern provides the latest selection list with the top 32 applicants in rank order. 2) This applicant list of 32 players is then waterfalled. 3) Each group of 16 players is then seeded. Players in Lower Standing are taken into consideration based on the seeding calculator.
|
Format and Scoring
32 players will be selected for each event (see Selection Process headline) and then be split into two Draws of 16 players using the Waterfall System for selection (see Waterfall Headline), with a Full Feed In Consolation through the Quarters and 3/4 playoff. The Feed-In Consolation will play through the Quarterfinals. The best two out of three sets with a 10 point match tiebreak in lieu of a third set will be played for all Boys and Girls 12s - 18s
|
10 and Under

Players are allowed to enter two divisions with these guidelines:#1. Players selected to both age divisions they apply for will automatically be selected in the older age division. They would be removed from the other age division. #2. Players not selected to either division would remain on the alternates lists for both divisions but would be obligated to play the division they first get in from the alternates list. They would be removed from the Alternates list in the other division. #3. Players selected to one age group would be removed from the alternates list of the division they were not selected. #4. Once a player is selected for any one division no changes can be made.
