– Doubles will be played on Sunday (8-game pro set)
What is a verified UTR rating?
– Some players have UTR Ratings that feature a blue checkmark. That means the player has a Verified UTR Rating.
– Verified UTR Rating is what college coaches, tournament providers, and tennis analysts look at for recruiting, event entry, team line-ups, and player evaluations for high-level competition.
– Only results from verified third-party event providers and tournament directors, such as official high school matches or sanctioned adult leagues and tournaments, count towards a player’s Verified UTR Rating.
– Those events are heavily vetted to ensure the integrity of a player’s Verified UTR Rating. Scores from non-verified events do not count towards Verified UTR Rating.
Concerning extenuating situations for time-slots/match times, it is the obligation of each player to ensure they are available for their matches as assigned by the Tournament Director (TD). Requests to have alternate match times will be reviewed and honored at the TD’s discretion based on the tournament schedule and other factors they deem appropriate.
Additionally, to remain consistent with USTA’s regulation, there will be no coaching players by coaches, parents, family, friends, etc. unless it is between the 2nd and 3rd sets.
