The United States Tennis Association’s National Wheelchair Tennis Committee and National Staff annually review the national rankings of all wheelchair tennis players to ensure fair play at every level. In accordance with the USTA Regulations in the Friend at Court (FAC) under Section G, including Table 5, players have either been moved up or are eligible to play down.

2011 Move Up:Move Down List
We also recommend that you check for your status on the PDF file of players who have been affected by the 2011 Move-Up:Move:Down rule. If you do not see your name on the list you may continue to enter the divisions you have in the past. If you are in the move up category that signifies a requirement to move up a division for 2011. If you are in the move down category you are eligible to play in your current division or the one directly below it. If you are in the ineligible letter division category that means you can only play in the Open division. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions regarding these new rules at wheelchairinfo@usta.com.
