To be on the Eligible List, the player must also be a USTA Texas Section resident.Players receive points in the main draws and consolation draws (if the consolation draw is held and played). In the main draw, a player or team that advances by default (or withdrawal) will receive credit and points for a win. In consolation matches, the player or team that advances by a default (or w/d) will receive credit and points for a win, as long as that player or team does not default (or w/d) their next match. Players that receive points in the main draw for a default (or w/d) win will not receive consolation points for a default (or w/d) win over that same opponent. Byes do not earn points in either draw. Effective 2-25-2018: A player that Defaults as a no-show for any match, without written notice to the Tournament Director at least one hour before the date and time of the scheduled match, will result in 5 Suspension Points. If done twice within 12 months, this could result in a 3 month suspension from play.A player or team who plays a tournament but does not win any matches will receive one point for participation for that tournament. In round robin matches, a player or team that plays a match or matches, but then defaults (or withdraws), that defaulted (or w/d) match will count as a loss for the defaulting player / team and as a win for the player / team that advanced. It is recorded with no score.In a round robin draw, a player or team that defaults (or withdraws) for any reason other than lateness shall not play in subsequent rounds and may not be declared the winner of the Round Robin. A player who is defaulted, retires, or creates a walkover shall finish lower than every player / team who has an identical match record.If only two players or two teams enter an Adult, Senior or Super Senior division and that draw is played, the two players or teams will receive 1st and 2nd points for playing. [Counted in both 12 Month Rolling Rankings and in Year to Date Rankings.] This structure does not automatically apply to 3 or more players or teams (3rd &/or 4th places, etc.). Age division rules:A player (in singles) or a team (in doubles) whose age division does not make, but plays the next younger age division that makes is entitled to have their points counted in their originally entered age division. If no younger age division makes, but plays in the Open division (if offered), they are also entitled to have their points counted in the originally entered age division [in Year to Date Rankings]. That player or team will receive 1st place points in that originally entered age division, no matter how they placed in the younger played division, even if they obtained no wins. (Notification to the Texas Section Adult & Senior Ranking Coordinator is required. It is recommended that notification be done by e-mail at: NPerkins@texas.). If only two players (in singles) or two teams (in doubles) enter an age division and they are merged with a younger age division (or the Open division if no younger age divisions make) and plays in that division, 1st and 2nd place points will be awarded in the originally entered division (according to the order of finish of just the original age players in the younger played division). If those two players or teams placed equally in that played division, 1st and 2nd place points will be averaged so that each player or team will receive equal points in the originally entered division [in Year to Date Rankings]. This structure will include all who enter one age and are merged (and play) a younger age division. (Notification to the Texas Section Adult & Senior Ranking Coordinator is required. It is recommended that be done by e-mail at: NPerkins@texas.). For these points in the originally entered age division, the player (in singles) or team (in doubles) must actually play a younger age (or Open) division to receive these points. Playing in a levels division, does not count as younger age division or Open division play.One Category I National Tournament (i.e. Clay, Hard, Grass, and Indoor tournaments) may be counted in a player’s USTA Texas section record. They are counted as a 600 Point Tournament category. Also, one Out of Section Category II National Tournament may be counted in a player's USTA Texas section record. They are counted as a 400 Point Tournament category. Only one Cat. I and one Cat. II may be counted. (Note: The “In Section” Cat. II tournaments – TX Senior Sectionals at Westwood-Austin & TX Super Senior Sectionals in San Antonio - do not count as one of these Cat. II Tournaments). [Credited in both 12 Month Rolling Rankings and in Year to Date Rankings]. Notification to the Texas section Adult & Senior Ranking Coordinator is required. It is recommended that notification be done by e-mail at: NPerkins@texas.).In Senior and Super Senior Major Zones and Sectionals tournaments, some form of USTA sanctioned consolations must be offered in all singles and doubles divisions. This can be Voluntary Consolations, FMLC, Feed-In Consolations (FIC), etc. The tournaments’ homepage will list the consolation type. Levels / Open division rules:If only two players or teams enter any levels or open division, and that division is played, the two players or teams will receive 1st and 2nd place points for playing [in both 12 Month Rolling Rankings and in Year to Date Rankings]. No other credit or points will be available for players that are merged into another levels division. That is, credit [and points] will be awarded only in the played division, not in a different originally entered levels or open division.Effective 1-1-2018: NTRP TX Sanctioned players are required to Self Rate, if they have no rating. If a player enters and plays a TX Sanctioned tournament levels division with a “0.0” rating, they will be notified that Self Ratings are now required for play in levels divisions in Texas Sanctioned Tournaments. A player violating this rule by playing in a levels division in a second sanctioned tournament without a self rating will receive an automatic 30 day suspension and any points earned from those tournaments will be removed. A note on each Adult category sanctioned tournament homepage will be listed, advising players of this rule.50+ Levels division rules:A player (in singles) or a team (in doubles) whose 50+ levels division does not make, can be merged into the regular (18+) equivalent levels division. If they play that draw, they are entitled to have their points counted in their originally entered 50+ levels division. If that regular (18+) equivalent levels division does not make, play in the Open division (if offered), will also have their points counted in the originally entered 50+ levels division [in both the Year to Date Rankings]. That player or team will receive 1st place points in that originally entered age division, no matter how they placed in the younger played division, even if they obtained no wins [counted in 12 Month Rolling Rankings and in Year to Date Rankings]. (Notification to the Texas Section Adult & Senior Ranking Coordinator is required. It is recommended that notification be done by e-mail at: NPerkins@texas.). If only two players (in singles) or two teams (in doubles) enter a 50+ levels division and they are merged and play as above, 1st and 2nd place points will be awarded in the originally entered division (according to the order of finish of just the original 50+ levels players in the played division). If those two players or teams placed equally in that played division, 1st and 2nd place points will be averaged so that each player or team will receive equal points in the originally entered division [in both the 12 Month Rolling Rankings and in Year to Date Rankings]. This structure will include all who enter one 50+ levels division and are merged (and play) the appropriate alternate division. (Notification to the Texas Section Adult & Senior Ranking Coordinator is required. It is recommended that be done by e-mail at: NPerkins@texas.). If player(s) from the 50+ levels division need to be merged, and the regular (18+) equivalent levels division does not make, nor does the equivalent Open division make, then the player(s) may be merged with (first) the next higher 50+ levels division, or (second) the next higher regular (18+) levels division that does make. If the entries play in that merged division, and if the notification (above) is sent, those merged player(s) will receive credit and points back in their originally entered 50+ levels division.Adults – 2019(Singles & Doubles: Men’s & Women’s Open, Men’s & Women’s 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, & 5.0 Levels, Men’s 25s, Men’s & Women’s 30s.
