Crossover Draws
All non seeded teams who have 3 team in their RR group will play a Crossover Match on their bye day. This will be against a team from another group of 3 in your division. Thus, for examples, if you have a bye in your RR group the first day you will have a Crossover match instead. Crossover matches will count towards your final record to make the semi's or finals (if only 2 groups) or to be a lucky loser. Please make sure to check the Crossover Draw for your match time and day. Naturally if you are in a group of 4 you won't have a Crossover match or if you are in a division with just 2 groups (80's). The Crossover matches are a new feature this year to insure most players get 3 matches. Please let us know on the review page at NSMTA.com after the tournament how you liked it.

NSMTA Doubles Champs awarded Cat III Status
Because of
its new round robin format, the NSMTA (National Senior Men’s Tennis
Association) Super Senior Doubles Championships was awarded Category III (300
points) status by USTA National. The
unique format will put all players in a round robin group to start with
guaranteeing them two to three matches with the winners of each group advancing
to the next round. A perfect
example is a draw of 16 teams would have 4 groups of 4 with each team playing
three matches. Winners of the groups
then advance to the semi’s.
Another
unique feature is that in some draws where there are fewer players the best second
place team in the groups will advance as well.
Thus giving a team who has lost a match a chance to still win the tournament! In this tournament we will also add a consolation
round(s) to try to ensure at least three matches if round robin group is only
three teams.
This year perpetual trophies will be awarded in the name of honorees who either as player or tournament director have made a significant contribution to senior tennis. The following are the honorees:
Men's 55 - Ron Homberg Men's 60 - Toby Crabel Men's 65 - Steve Solomon Men's 70 - Alan Messer Men's 75 - George Wachtel Men's 80 - Clem Hopp Men's 85 - John Powless
Saturday after all the 10am finals are finished the Cups will be awarded.
