Important:
1. Treatment of byes, withdrawals, walkovers, disqualifications, defaults and retirements.
ADVERTISEMENT
i. Byes. A player who advances because of a bye does not receive ranking points for advancing.
ii. Withdrawals. A player who advances because of a withdrawal shall receive ranking points for advancing.
iii. Walkovers. A player who advances because of a walkover shall receive ranking points for advancing.
iv. Disqualification. A player who advances because of a disqualification shall receive ranking points for advancing.
v. Defaults. A player who advances because of a default shall receive ranking points for advancing.
vi. Retirements. A player who advances because of the opponent’s retirement shall receive ranking points for advancing.
2. Breaking ranking ties. If players or teams receive the same number of ranking points, ties shall be broken using the following steps in the order listed. As many ties as possible shall be broken before using the next step:
Most points earned in Category I USTA National Championships;
Most points earned in Super Category II USTA Tournaments and Category II USTA Tournaments; and
Most points earned in any other National Ranking event.
The "points" tables will be assigned based on the highest sanction level and draw format of each tournament, ensuring a player knows what his/her potential points for each tournament will be.
There are four categories of tournaments within the ranking system:
Tournament Designations
The USTA National Wheelchair Tennis Staff and National Committee have put a new policy in affect in order to simplify and streamline ITF tournament distinctions as it relates to USTA ranking points. This policy is immediately in affect:
ITF Super Series = USTA Category 1
ITF 1, 2, 3 = USTA Super Category 2
ITF Futures = USTA Category 2
Non ITF events = sectional-level ranking points
Special Note: The individual categories within tournaments will not change. Whatever the tournament distinction is, it will be that distinction for every division.
Standings List
The current standings list is comprised of players who have played at least one match in at least one National Ranking Tournament. The list includes tournaments played 12 months prior to the list publish date.
