The Generation Gap tournament provides a unique opportunity that is so rare in
competitive tournament play — juniors and adults uniting and playing WITH and
AGAINST each other on a leveled-playing field.
Tournaments and league competition based on level, not on age, has been applied
successfully in many countries in Europe for decades. In the U.S., tennis
players miss out on the many opportunities and benefits of level-based
competition.
The age barrier keeps juniors and adults completely separate and shrinks the
potential pool of competition for juniors by 75%. Instead of having 40,000
players to play against in NorCal, juniors can only play against 10,000 of
those.
GenGap is a great opportunity for NorCal players who are hungry for strong
competition, to compete against a variety of playing styles. It also shows them
firsthand that tennis is the sport of a lifetime.
When juniors and adults compete separately each develops their own
language/ranking and the two separate spheres can’t communicate. Using the
power of ratings creates a leveled playing field and is a language that can be
used by every tennis player regardless of age. The Universal Tennis Rating
(UTR) rating system includes every junior playing yellow ball tournaments and
adults playing MWOp, ITF, ATP and WTA.
