For this SCMZ month, 12s through 18s Super Champ players can choose which tournament they would like to compete in. The points awarded for each draw will be the same in both the San Antonio and Houston tournaments.

All seeding and selection will be based on Singles Universal Tennis Ratings (UTR) for the 2019 April, July, August and December Texas Tier 4 Super Champ Major Zones (SCMZ). Doubles seeding and selection will be generated based on the pairings' combined Singles UTR with ties being broken with the team with the highest individual's Singles UTR getting the higher spot. more info

Each player's Singles Universal Tennis Rating will be pulled from the system between 12 Noon-5PM on Wednesday, July 10th. The UTR's pulled from this time period will be used for the entire pre-tournament process including splitting, seeding, pairing doubles teams, and replacing players.

There will be no penalty for withdrawing from singles or doubles prior to Wednesday, July 17th at 12 Noon for this Super Champ Major Zone. After that time, if a player withdraws from singles and/or doubles, they will be penalized 2 suspension points for the withdrawal. This includes any withdrawals, walkovers, and retirements after Wednesday, July 17th at Noon until the end of the tournament. The maximum penalty is 2 points per tournament. You will not be penalized twice for singles and doubles withdrawals. If a player does reach the suspension threshold, they will be able to appeal any points at that time.

As of April 1st, No Ad will now be played in all Super Champ Level and Major Zone events where singles is also being played. Ad will still be played at the April Doubles Excellence and the Texas Slam semis and finals.

For doubles, if one player in a team withdraws, the partner will have until Wednesday, July 17th at 12 Noon to find a new partner. After Wednesday at Noon, if the remaining player is left unpaired, they will be removed from the draw. After the Noon deadline, teams will be re-seeded into draws based on the updated combined Texas Standing List ranking of the final teams. Any withdrawal made after Wednesday at Noon results in the entire team being withdrawn. The Wednesday 12 Noon deadline gives the TD time to adjust both singles and doubles draws prior to the Thursday 6:00 PM draw posting.

Players may register with or without a partner. Those who register with a partner must indicate their partner through the online registration system before the entry deadline. Players will need to correctly identify their doubles partner during their initial registration process or they may go back later, prior to the entry deadline, and “Edit Registration” to indicate their partner of choice. Correct doubles registration is the player’s responsibility. Immediately after registration, players need to check the Applicant List to ensure they are registered with their partner of choice (and their partner is also registered with them). Remaining individual players will be paired up based on the order of their Singles UTRs.

Singles: A draw of 32, B draw of 32. Doubles: A draw of 16 teams, B draw of 16 teams.
The A & B draw singles begins on Saturday and ends on Monday.
The A & B draw doubles begins on Saturday and ends on Sunday. more info

Singles A & B Draw - Feed In Consolation through the Round of 16. Players who lose in the Quarterfinal Round will be placed into their own consolation bracket of four players and the winner of this bracket receives fifth place points. Play-off for the 3rd and 4th place. 14s-18s Main Draws will play a full third set. All Consolation Draws and all 12s draws will play a 10 point match tiebreak in lieu of the third set.
Doubles A & B Draw - 8 game Pro-Sets with single elimination. Doubles is now NO AD (see note above)

First, Second and Third Place medals will be awarded. Consolation winners no longer receive medals. A sportsmanship award is given to the outstanding boy and girl in each designated tournament.

Excessive Overrule Guideline: The USTA Texas Officials Committee along with the Competitive Department has established a guideline in reference to excessive overrules as clarified in the Friend at Court. This guideline states "Once a player has been overruled for a second time in a match, they will be cautioned that after another overrule, they will be penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct under the point penalty system."

Inappropriate umpire/spectator communication, whether it be about a ruling or any other facet of a tennis event is prohibited while a match is in progress. Being a parent, coach, etc. does not endow special privileges. With the only exception of the right to remove their own child from competition at any time, a parent or coach is merely a spectator.

Registration Confirmation: As a parent or player it is your responsibility to assure registration in the event. Regardless if you register on the website or mobile app after completing the registration you should visit the USTA web driven site and confirm your registration by finding the player in the applicants list. If you select to skip this process please be aware that should any malfunctions of the system occur, players will not be granted late entrance in the event due to a system error.
