Format of Play

Draw Format: Round Robin with playoffs per division*

 

Each division will consist of round-robin draws that will play into single-elimination draws. Where the player finishes in the initial round robin will determine which subsequent single-elimination draw the player feeds into. The Tournament Director reserves the right to modify the draw format if a limited number of players enter. 

 

Match Format: Best of three (3) short sets. First to four (4) games wins the set. There will be a short-set tiebreak at 3-3. Service lets are not played.

Scoring Format: No-ad scoring will be used. At 3-points all (or deuce), the next point wins the game. The receiver chooses which side the point is played on.  In Doubles, the receiving team chooses which side the point is played.

  • Short-set tiebreak (3 games-all)
  • First to five (5) points (do not have to win by 2)

 

Eligibility Requirements:

The NTRP Championships are based on a player's 2022 NTRP Rating.

  • Players may have been bumped up for 2023.  They are eligible and will play in their qualifying 2022 NTRP Rating.

  • If a player is double-bumped, the player must play up one level from the qualified level (i.e., 3.0 bumped to 4.0 must play 3.5). 

  • SELF-RATED PLAYERS ARE NOT ELIGIBLE.  A player must have a computer rating.

     

Registration:

  • Singles entries close February 26. Doubles entries close March 9. 

  • Players MUST register by entry deadline regardless of endorsement. Late entries will NOT be accepted unless needed to make a RR of 4 players/teams or to replace a withdrawn player. 

  • In order to be endorsed, player MUST be on the respective age/NTRP division as of 2022 Final Ranking OR first published NSL after entries close (depending on endorsement criteria of section). Players with zero points on the Final Ranking of first published NSL will not be selected.
