56 RANKINGS, SEEDING, AND CURRENT STANDINGS What is a ranking? Rankings are based on the accumulation of points earned through tournament competition during a specified ranking period with a minimum of three (3) and up to five (5) tournaments. Thus the year-end order of players is our year-end rankings. The results compared include sanctioned, sectional, and local matches among those players eligible for a sectional ranking. ADULT RANKING REGULATIONS What is seeding? Seeding refers to the process by which the Tournament Committee determines who it believes are the best players in the draw. These players are listed in order of their seed on the draw sheet and are separated from each other so that they do not meet in the early rounds. Seeding is not the same as ranking, since the current Points Per Round Ranking is based on points and seeding is based on wins and loses. The seeding evaluation is also to include all other available information, including but not limited to health (injuries), current standings, past rankings, and past tournament results. Additionally, the standings are only published once a month and may not include some tournaments in the standings. Seeding Procedures Seeding players or teams is a means of insuring that players of recognized ability do not play each other in the early rounds. Proper seeding is important for a smooth functioning tournament and the well being of the players. Sectional and National standings lists are calculated using the Points Per Round ranking program and players earn their position on the list by their results at tournaments. The standing lists are used as a starting point for seeding but the seed final list is arrived at by using wins and loses not points. The standing lists are not seeding lists but are to be resource lists to help in seeding. Who seeds the tournament? Tournaments are seeded by a local seeder, sectional seeder, or the tournament director (currently the Section has no designated seeders). How many seeds? For draws of 64 and smaller, the preferred ratio is to seed one player for every four. players. If the Seeding Committee does not have sufficient evidence to seed this. number of players, it should only seed the number of players for which it has evidence. Where are seeds placed? The Tournament Data Manager (software referred to as TDM and required for all Sectional sanctioned tournaments) will automatically place seeds on the appropriate lines. In the case of a draw of 32, Seed #1 is placed on line 1, Seed #2 is placed on line 32, Seed #3 is randomly placed on line 9 or 24 with Seed #4 placed on the other. Seeds 5-8, if used, are randomly placed on four other prescribed lines. 56

57 What about Tournament Seeding Protests? Seed breakdown should be published to the tournament website well before the draw is made and complaints or protests should be directed to the tournament director. Any complaint or protest must be in writing and should detail why they believe the seeding should be different. The Southwest Section recommends the following process for seeding: 1. Comprise an event list in order of the current standings of all the entrants in each age division. 2. Comprise a list of players with no data for that particular age group. 3. Review event list and no data list for players of recognized ability from older or younger age groups. 4. Review player records (head to head) and final year-end rankings for each player in the event. Additionally, review the player s current record if there is one, albeit short. 5. Number the seeds in relation to this new order. 6. Further review the seeds for any head to heads encounters. 7. Upload seeding list to the Internet Website for the tournament. 8. Check s and address any complaints or protests received. Seeding Resources (obtained at USTA or Sectional Website) 1. Sectional Standing lists for all age groups 2. Final Sectional rankings for the previous year 3. Player records/results for all age groups 4. National standing lists 5. Results from recent tournaments not yet included in standing lists What are current standings? Current standings are not rankings. They are a listing of the player s current position based on the points accumulated through tournament results entered in the computer as of the date they are run. The positions will change when new match results are entered in the computer. Standing lists are updated on the middle of each month. The standings roll on a 12-month period. That means the standings are based on the player s performance within the last 12 months in a particular age group. Example: The January 2007 standings will be based on play in events that began between February 1, 2006 and January 31, So as a new month of results is added in the current year, the month of results from the previous year is taken off. ADULT RANKING REGULATIONS Current Standings and What to do if some tournament results are not included Each player is responsible for checking and making sure that his or her results. are reported accurately in the standings. Lists are published each month at While the Southwest Section tries to make sure that all lists and the rankings are accurate, they are not responsible for inaccurate or incomplete information. Each Tournament Director (TD) is responsible for all information in regards to their tournament. Failure to correct inaccurate or incomplete information and failure to comply with all USTA rules and regulations as stated in the Friend at Court may cause the tournament director and/or the tournament to receive any combination of warning, fine or withdrawal of sanction. 57

58 Upon determining that the information as listed is either incomplete or inaccurate, the player needs to immediately contact both the tournament director and the sectional. office to state what information is missing. The TD must then determine that all information published in TDM is correct and accurate and it has all been uploaded to TennisLink.. This means that the TD must run a report and make sure that all players have an. accurate USTA number and that the number has been included on the draw. The tournament director must then contact the player and the sectional office and let each of them know that the draws were checked, what information was changed, if. any and certify that all other information is correct. Once the tournament director has. so stated, the sectional office shall check the information and include it on the next Standing list. ADULT RANKING POINTS TABLE If the tournament director does not correct the incomplete or inaccurate information. within 2 weeks of being notified, he/she is subject to review by the Sanctions and. Scheduling Committee which shall have the sole option of issuing a warning, placing. the tournament and/or tournament director on probation, increasing the sanction. fee or removing the sanction from that tournament or any others.

59 ADULT/SENIOR SPORTSMANSHIP PROCEDURES The Sportsmanship Sub-Committee of the SWS Adult/Senior Competitive Committee shall be responsible for overseeing disciplinary procedures for Sportsmanship and. Code of Conduct violations. The sub-committee is comprised of all voting members of the Adult/Senior Competitive Committee with the chairman appointed by the SWS President. SUSPENSION POINT SYSTEM The SWS Suspension Point System will be in effect at all sanctioned adult/senior tournaments in the section and will be used in all singles and doubles matches (main draw and consolation). Persons authorized to file suspension point reports with the referee or Adult Competitive Manager (ACM) are: tournament committee members, deputy referee, on court umpires, and the ACM. All of the above persons will report only on violations personally witnessed by them. Reports will be submitted to the tournament referee and the ACM. Recording of Suspension Points Suspension Point Reports with description of all violations will be mailed to: USTA Southwest Section Attn: Adult Competitive Manager 2720 E. Thomas Rd. B170 Phoenix, AZ Reports should be sent within 48 hours of the completion of the tournament. Any reports received more than 30 days after the completion of the tournament will not be considered. These reports will be brought to the attention of the ACM for documentation and then forwarded to the Sportsmanship Sub-Committee. Notice of Points Accrued Flagrant violations of 5 points will result in immediate suspension. Otherwise, the. ACM will inform affected players when three (3) suspension points have been accrued. Note: Due to delay in receiving documentation, a player may accumulate additional points before being notified when he or she is at 3 points. Therefore, all players must rely on their own record of suspension points to avoid actual suspension. Players can request a copy of their suspension point record to review for discrepancy at any time. Any disputes must be in writing and addressed to the ACM and Sportsmanship. Sub-Committee at the SWS Office. Player Suspension If a player accumulates 5 or more points within any 12-month period, he or she will be suspended from all sanctioned tournaments within the section and from participation in any intersectional team events for the next 3 months. After the first suspension, the record will be cleared. With the accumulation of 5 points within a subsequent 12-month period, the player shall be suspended for a second time for 6 months. Accumulation of. 5 points within a 12 month period for a third time could result in a lifetime suspension from all events. We will notify other Sections of our player suspensions and will honor player suspensions of other USTA Sections. ADULT/SENIOR SPORTSMANSHIP PROCEDURES 59
