Greetings! To All Tournament & League Tennis Participants:
The Utah Tennis Association welcomes you to the 2014 Tournament and League Season. This schedule is designed to benefit the veteran player as well as the newcomer who is interested in recreational and competitive tennis opportunities. To help you plan and prepare your tennis season, we’ve enclosed a complete Junior and Adult Sanctioned Tournament Schedule and the 2014 Adult League Schedule. In the handbook you will also find a list of tennis facilities and clubs who host tournaments and participate in adult league programs, as well as additional information on Ranking Requirements and how you can start earning points in the Junior Gran Prix program. We encourage you to contact the facility nearest you to find out what additional services and programs they have to offer to help you get in the game. More than 50 USTA Sanctioned Tournaments, 10 Adult Leagues & 3 Leagues for Juniors 18 & Under are offered during the year. There are opportunities for people of all ages and skill levels who want to play and compete. Utah’s Sanctioned Tournaments and Leagues utilize TennisLink, the USTA’s online registration system, making it easier than ever for participants to register for tournaments, check draw times and schedules, and roster teams, players and report scores for league matches. All tournaments will continue to accept registrations through the mail and on-site (note: some tournaments offer fax entries, check with the tournament director or obtain an official entry form for tournament-specific information). The handbook also includes important information on the Utah District Points Per Round Ranking System and additional ranking requirements specific to achieving either an Adult or Junior Year-End Ranking. Please note that the dates listed on the schedule are tentative and subject to change. Dates are not guaranteed. Always check the website using the TennisLink Tournament ID# or pick up the official entry blank for correct fees, dates of play, divisions and events offered, deadlines and other important information pertaining to each specific tournament. It is recommended that players check 10-14 days prior to the deadline for entry forms and information concerning the on-line registration. A link to the tournament information can also be found by going to the Utah Tennis Association website at utahtennis.com and clicking on Tournaments/Adults/Juniors/Tournament /Calendar. If you have any questions concerning the information published in the handbook please contact the Utah Tennis Association at 801-944-USTA (8782) or email us at [email protected]. We hope you have an enjoyable and successful tennis season! The Utah Tennis Association

Understanding NTRP and DNTRP
The National Tennis Rating Program (NTRP) has a primary goal to classify skill levels for more compatible matches, group lessons, league play, tournaments, and other programs. The rating categories are generalizations about skill levels. You may find that you actually play above or below the category that best describes your skill level, depending on your competitive ability. The category you choose is not meant to be permanent, but may be adjusted as your skills change or as your match play demonstrates the need for reclassification. Ultimately, your rating is based upon match results. Players must rate themselves in accordance with the NTRP. When players rates themselves and they question at which level they should play, they should place themselves in the higher level of play.
NTRP General Characteristics of Playing Levels
2.5-This player is learning to judge where the ball is going, although court coverage is weak. Can sustain a short rally of slow pace with other players of the same ability. 3.0- This player is fairly consistent when hitting medium paced shots, but is not comfortable with all strokes and lacks execution when trying for directional control, depth or power. Most common doubles formation is one-up, one-back. 3.5- This player has achieved improved stroke dependability with directional control on moderate shots, but still lacks depth and variety. 4.0-This player has dependable strokes, including directional control and depth on both forehand and backhand sides on moderate shots, plus the ability to use lobs, overheads, approach shots, and volleys with some success. This player occasionally forces errors when serving. Rallies may be lost due to impatience. 4.5-This player has begun to master the use of power and spins and is beginning to handle pace, has sound footwork, can control depth of shots, and is beginning to vary game plan according to opponents. This player can hit first serves with power and accuracy and place the second serve. This player tends to over hit difficult shots. 5.0-This player has good shot anticipation and frequently has an outstanding shot or attribute around which a game may be structured. This player can regularly hit winners or force errors off of short balls and can put away volleys, can successfully execute lobs, drop shots, half volleys, overhead smashes, and has good depth and spin on most 2nd serves. 5.5 Open-This player has developed power and or consistency as a major weapon. This player can vary strategies and styles of play in a competitive situation and hits dependable shots in a stress situation. (See Website for additional details and explanations.)

NTRP RATINGS There are many myths out there about ratings and how the NTRP system works so hopefully you all have read the information on our website to put those myths to rest but if you have not, here is some information that is pertinent for you as a captain to know. Self Rating: Any player that has not participated in NTRP tournaments or
league tennis before through the USTA will need to self-rate in order to obtain a rating to be eligible for league registration. The self-rate questionnaire will be available to you when you go to register for a team and you can complete the questionnaire at that time. Please answer the questions honestly so the system can generate the appropriate rating. See disqualification and penalties below regarding self-rating. Also see “self-rating” in the How To section for instructions on the process as well as how to appeal your self-rate if necessary.
Penalties: Per the District League Regulations “Players who do not have a valid
NTRP rating level on file in TennisLink shall self rate in accordance with the Gen-eral & Experienced Player Guidelines Supplement to the NTRP Guidelines and complete the self rating process on TennisLink when registering for a team. Failure to do so, or omission of information regarding a player’s tennis history will subject the player, the captain and/or others who condoned inaccurate self rating to sanctions and disqualification. Self ratings are valid for two years from the date issued or until replaced by a dynamic or computer rating.
DNTRP: The DNTRP system or Dynamic NTRP system runs all the leagues
except the Fall Indoor League. After each match played, the respective players rating are recalculated down to the hundredth of a point based on the results of that match and the players current ratings going into the match. It is vitally im-portant that all scores be reported within 72 hours of match completion so the system can work efficiently. Please see “Disqualification” below to see how this system could affect your players.
Disqualification: During the USTA Adult and USTA Senior League season the
NTRP system will be calculating after each match played. If at any time a player’s rating surpasses the allowed level they will receive a strike. If a player receives three strikes within the current season (including playoff) they will be disqualified and their scores and results for that league will be reversed.
The only rating types that are affected by this are S (self-rated), M (mixed exclusive), T (tournament exclusive). A (appealed ratings), and D (dynamic). If you have a player on your team that falls into these rating categories then they are subject to dynamic disqualification. If you have received a C (computer) or B (benchmark) rating then you are no longer subject to dynamic disqualification.

WHAT IS ? TennisLink is a user-friendly web based system designed as a means to provide secure communication and flow of information between the USTA and its members via the Internet. TennisLink allows captains to register teams, enter and confirm scores, access team rosters, standings, schedules, blank score cards and renew USTA memberships. HOW DO I ACCESS ? You must go through TennisLink to report a score. TennisLink can be accessed by clicking on the League drop down menu and choosing TennisLink leagues on our website at utahtennis.com. HOW TO REPORT SCORES Both teams should be involved in the reporting of scores. One team reports the scores, the other team should confirm or dispute the entered scores. Prior to leaving the match site, captains should decide who will be reporting and who will be confirming the scores. From the TennisLink page, click on Record a Score. (A message will appear if the scorecard is in use.) Type in the match number. On the blank scorecard, enter the scheduled date of the match. Select players from the drop down list for home and visiting teams. Click the winner button identifying the winning team for each court. Enter the scores for each match from the winner’s perspective (6-4,6-3 not 4-6,3-6). Select the final outcome (completed ,retired, default, double default) for each match from the completed drop-down list.
HOW TO REGISTER FOR A LEAGUE ON
A current USTA membership number is needed to register for league tennis. Memberships must be current through the league season. All major credit cards accepted for League registration. Go to the TennisLink webpage (utahtennis.com). Click on register for a team. Enter your USTA number and team number in the space provided. Be sure to click on YES if you will be the Captain. Click on next step and follow the payment instructions. Depending on what facility you decide to play out of, the facility Coordinator will sometime register players instead.
ISSUES THAT MAY OCCUR WHEN REPORTING LEAGUE MATCH SCORES How to determine whether you should report the match as completed, retired, default, double default. Retired- Due to a health related issue, the player could not complete the match Default -The player was not a registered player on the team roster. Double Default– Scores not reported by the deadline Total Team Default– The majority of the lines on the scorecard were not completed Tie Break The scoring format in TennisLink will be set up as “Match Tiebreak” which will require all third set scores to be entered as 1-0. Regardless of format for third set, score entry for the third set must be played out. If an error message occurs please make sure a. All 3rd set scores are recorded as 1-0. b. Make sure the scores are input from the winning player’s perspective.

What should I do if there is a error on the score card? Captains and players are not able to make any changes to score cards once they have been submitted. If you notice an error, the captain of either team can dispute the match scores. It is suggested that you notify the Adult League coordinator Jill Bruderer of the dispute, score card # and what needs to be corrected. We will then contact the opposing team to confirm the error before adjusting the score card. What should I do if not all of the positions have completed the match?

Please note: This schedule is tentative and subject to change. Utah District OPEN tournaments are section Level 6 tournaments except 2 ITA Utah District Cup Series tournaments which are section level 5: Ivory Homes Junior Utah State Open & Fall Duel District Cup. Utah district tournaments have their own tournament levels for each tournament which is separate from the section level and are located before each Utah district “open” tournament name, example L1-L5

These two (2) tournaments will be considered our “GRAND SLAM” events for the 2014 Junior Gran Prix series. If any player wins both of these tournaments, in the same event and age division in the 2014 Gran Prix season, he/she will be awarded an additional 500 bonus points.
AGE ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS: ALL JUNIOR PLAYERS, if you compete in USTA sanctioned events, you may play in an age division until the month in which you age up, or, in other words, until your birthday month, This means that players who are 10,12,14,16, and 18 years old may continue to play in their age division until the month they turn 11,13,15,17, or 19, respectively.
So what are you waiting for? ENTER A TOURNAMENT TODAY!
The Junior Gran Prix Awards will also include the HILARY DOYLE SPORTSMANSHIP AWARD. The award will be presented annually to a deserving junior player who will be nominated and selected by Utah Tennis and the tournament directors of the junior Utah District Sanctioned events during the 2014 season. At the conclusion of each Sanctioned Junior Tournament, the Tournament Director will select at least one junior participants who exemplified good sportsmanship during the tournament. The sportsmanship winners from each tournament will be considered as nominees for the Hilary Doyle Sportsmanship Award. The junior player who receives the most nominations from the Sanctioned Junior Tournaments will receive the Hilary Doyle Sportsmanship Award. In the event of a tie, the Utah Junior Competition Committee will select the winner.

Points Per Round (PPR) is designed to encourage our players to compete often, puts the emphasis on advancing through the draw and allows players to calculate their own rankings. All results from the last 12 months will count towards points starting on January 1, 2014. Thus, all results from 2013 will be taken into consideration. The Standings Lists will be based on a rolling 12 month calendar. Utah District Tournament Directors will use the Points Per Round Standings Lists for tournament seeding. This system will closely reflect National’s Points Per Round Ranking System. The Utah District will only use the top six (6) results from USTA/Utah Sanctioned Tournaments towards your Standings and Rankings. You must accumulate 1 point to appear on the Standings List. If a tournament is not among a player’s best six (6) tournaments, the Points Per Round will not count toward the player’s standings. Utah District Year-End Ranking – 2014 The ranking year runs from Jan 1 to Dec 31, 2014. Each player’s annual year-end ranking will be based on the accumulation of points for winning rounds (PPR) at Utah District Sanctioned Tournaments during the calendar year. A player must accumulate at least 300 ranking points during the calendar year in order to earn a year-end ranking, in addition to the following: ADULTS & JUNIORS: Must compete in a minimum of four (4) Utah District Sanctioned Open Level Tournaments in the same division to be considered for ranking. Ranking is based upon local Utah Tennis Sanctioned Tournaments only and does not include locally held ITA Tournaments. Please note that Challenger Division Tournaments do not count towards Standings or Ranking Lists. A player may be ranked in more than one division, if they meet all of the requirements in each division. If a tournament is not among a player’s best 6 tournaments, the Points Per Round will not count toward the player’s ranking. Specifics of the Utah District Points Per Round Ranking System Include:
● A player must win a round to receive any points for the tournament. Byes do not qualify as wins. ● Withdrawals and walkovers qualify as wins for the advancing player and earn Points Per Round. ● Retirements qualify as wins for the advancing player and earn Points Per Round. ● A player who advances because of a default that takes place before the commencement of the first point in the match or because the opponent is disqualified shall receive Points Per Round for advancing. ● A player who is defaulted from a tournament for code violations under
2014 Points Per Round (PPR) Ranking System

the Point Penalty System or misconduct forfeits any points accumulated during the tournament.
The final rankings for a junior age division shall include all players who have been age eligible for play in the division at any time during the year, met the ranking requirements for that age, who have accumulated at least 300 points in the division, and have competed in at least 4 Utah Sanctioned Tournaments in that division. Players may be ranked in more than one age division if they have been age eligible in more than one division during the year, and have met the requirements for that ranking. Once a player ages out of a division, they can no longer earn points towards their lower age division. Adults are eligible to be ranked in more than one division if they have met the
ranking requirements for each division. It is important to remember that rankings are not an assessment of your skill as a player, but an assessment of your record and results in sanctioned tournament play in the calendar year.
Tiebreak Rules for Utah Rankings and Standings Lists will be determined as follows: A player whose best event has the highest number of points, second best, third best, etc. through six events. Best random drawn number.
Finding Your Player Record Online: To find your player record online, go to utahtennis.com and click on Tournaments. Click on TennisLink REGISTRATION at the bottom of the page. Then click on Ranking Home – the link will be on the right hand side of the page. Click on the posting for viewing Intermountain – Utah Standings Lists and Rankings. Select your division to view the appropriate list. Click on your name to view your record. If you appear on two separate lists, you must go to each list to review your record for each division. Only Utah District Ranking Tournaments will appear. The Utah District Adult & Junior Competition Committees will assist the Utah Tennis Tournament Coordinator annually in evaluating and recommending the appropriate levels of the events considered for the Utah District Ranking and Standing Lists. You can find the level of each tournament by going to utahtennis.com and clicking on Tournaments. Then click on Adult Tournament Calendar or Junior Tournament Calendar. The tournament level will be listed by each tournament named. Example: L3 = Level 3 designation.
THE ANSWER TO THE MOST COMMONLY ASKED QUESTION: Why does my player’s record state “Does not count toward total points?” Only your best six (6) events will count towards your Utah District ranking/standings. If you have over six (6) tournaments on your record, the ranking program automatically drops out the lower scores, and keeps your best six (6) tournament results.
