GATES TENNIS CENTER
Format
| | Match Formats |
GENERAL
- Players with a UTPR of 5.5 MUST play in Pro events.
- The minimum UTPR for Pro events is 5.0.
- Players with a current 4.5 UTPR may be allowed to play in Pro events IF there is available space in the bracket. Teams that register in a Pro event including a player with a UTPR of 4.5 or below may be moved to the wait list, at any time, to allow for 5.0+ teams to compete in the bracket. Acceptable capacity in an event will be determined solely by the tournament.
SKILL/AGE EVENTS:
Players may not compete in singles competition at skill level more than .5 lower than the highest skill they are competing in other events. Example: A player competing in 4.0 MXD may NOT compete in 3.0 singles (even if their UTPR is 3.0). They must compete at the 3.5 or higher level.
SENIOR PRO AND AMATEUR FORMAT:
Double Elimination with a Come Around (i.e. a team can lose a match and still come around and win the Gold).
- 5 team minimum for under 65 events. Events will be combined if less than 5 teams are competing in that bracket. Event combinations will utilize age first, then skill if further combining is necessary.
- Main Draw: Matches consist of a best of 3 game format with each game played to 11, win by 2 points.
- Consolation: Each match consists of one game to 15, win by two points except for the final match which determines 3rd place. This final Consolation match will consist of the best of a 3 game format, with each game to 11, win by two points. The winning team will go on to compete for 1st/2nd place.
- Round Robin for divisions of 5 teams or less (doubles only, singles 5 player divisions will play Double Elimination). Winners will be determined based upon the following order: first by matches won, with the Gold awarded to the team winning the most matches. If two or more teams are tied in matches won, then results of head to head competition will determine the winners. If two or more teams are tied following the head to head comparisons, a determination will be made using point differentials from each game played. The point differential will be calculated by subtracting the losing team's points from the winning team's final score and include all matches played. Example: Team A wins match one 15 to 8. This results reflect a point differential of 7 points being awarded to Team A. In their second match, Team A loses with a score of 3 to 15. This results in a point differential of -12. In match three, Team A wins with a final score of 15 to 12, reflecting a point differential of 3. The resulting point sum for Team A is calculated by adding the point differential from each game played (+7, -12, +3). Team A's final point differential is -2. The team with the highest number of accumulated points wins.
Note: If a team forfiets or is disqualified from competition after having competed against only a portion of the total teams in their bracket, NO scores from games played by the forfieting team will be included in determining point differentials for tie-breaking calculations.
The tournament has the right to shorten match formats if weather or other conditions pose possible scheduling delays.
OPEN PRO FORMAT
The tournament will use USAP guidelines for interpretation of rules in the Open Pro events.
Double Elimination with no come-around (i.e. if a team loses a match the best they can do is bronze. They cannot come around to win the Gold).
