USTA NORCAL Doubles-Only Sectional Championships Rules
Match and Scoring Formats. Regular scoring will be used. • Doubles: 8-game pro set through the quarterfinals; best of 3 tiebreak sets with a 10-Point Match Tiebreak in lieu of the 3rd set for semifinals, finals and playoff for 3rd and 4th place. a. Draw Size and Format. The doubles draw size is limited to 32 teams. A compass draw will be played with a playoff for 3rd and 4th place. The draw format will guarantee each team three matches:
• Non-main draw compass draw brackets with teams that have won their third match will be played out to completion.
• Once a team has lost three matches, it will not play an additional match unless playing that additional match guarantees another team its minimum three matches.
b. Sanction Periods. The Doubles-Only Sectional Championships will be sanctioned for a 2-day.
c. Doubles Partner Notification Deadline; Paring of Players Without Partners. No later than the end of the day on Monday prior to the Saturday start date of the tournament, any doubles players that have not previously entered as a team must notify the Tournament Committee of the partnership.
A Tournament Committee may elect to randomly pair any player entered in doubles without a partner after the Monday deadline provided a statement that this will take place is published on the tournament website by the time entries open. If random parings will take place, players entered in
doubles without a partner that do not desire to play doubles must notify the Tournament Committee of their desire to withdraw from doubles (without penalty) by the Monday deadline.
d. Selection Process. Teams will be selected in the order of their combined standings using the most recently published Doubles Seeding List of the division. For example, Player A holds the #1 standing and Player B holds the #10 standing. The Team of A&B would have the combined standing of 11. A team with a combined standing greater than 11 is selected after Team A&B. If there is a tie, the team with the player that has the highest doubles standing on the list will be selected first.
All teams not selected will be placed on Alternate Lists that are ordered using the same methods of selecting players or teams into the tournament described in above. The Alternate Lists will be used to replace withdrawing players and teams, except that a Late Entry may not be accepted into the draw if it invalidates the seeding.
e. Team Selection and Alternate Publication Requirement. The doubles team selection and alternate lists will be published no later than 10:00 am on the Wednesday before the start of the tournament.
f. Replacement of Withdrawing Teams. Because players are selected for the tournament as part of a team, the withdrawal of one player after the entry deadline is effectively the withdrawal of a team. When there are no alternate teams, the remaining player may find another partner provided if this happens after the draws are published, the new team may not affect the seedings. When there is an alternate team, the withdrawing team is replaced with the first alternate.
