IOWA DISTRICT TENNIS HALL OF FAME The appointed Hall of Fame Committee gathers, accepts, or procures nominations and supporting data regarding candidates and evaluates the merits of each. At the fall meeting of the Iowa Tennis Association, the Committee presents its recommendation for new members, if any. A secret ballot by those entitled to vote at the meeting determines whether or not the recommended candidate(s) is/are approved. Approval by 50%+ of eligible voters at the meeting is required for selection to the Hall of Fame. SELECTION CRITERIA --- GUIDELINES It seems appropriate to select 1, 2, or 3 nominees each year, although special circumstances might dictate none or 4+ on special occasions. The ITA Hall of Fame is meant to honor those few individuals who have made outstanding contributions to tennis in the Iowa District. They may have contributed as administrators, players, directors, coaches, or by other forms of service, and over a comparatively long period of time. We recognize good players with annual rankings and Player of the Year awards. A Hall of Fame player would be unusually talented and successful over a long period of time. We make a group of annual awards to honor special achievements in specific categories such as Adult Player, Junior Player, Recreational Player, Family, Facility, Tournament, Official, Community Service, and Outstanding Contribution to Iowa Tennis. The Hall of Fame takes note of special qualities of leadership, longevity, wisdom, etc. Being an officer of the ITA is valuable service to tennis and may be a factor, but should not be considered an automatic road to selection. The Committee is expected to consider persons of various ages, varying periods of activity, a variety of types of service, and from all areas of the state. This summary of criteria should be published periodically in the Iowa Net News. Proper recognition of a selection should be given at the spring meeting of the ITA or at an appropriate event in the selectee s home area.

Junior Rankings and Standings Regulations I. Year End Ranking Requirements- Year end rankings are the final ranking of players for any given calendar year. A singles player or doubles team may achieve a year end Iowa District Ranking by participating in a minimum of 4 tournaments in the Iowa District with one (1) win. Year end rankings are calculated on players best five (5) tournaments, and a minimum of 4 tournaments. Doubles will follow the same ranking requirements of 4 tournaments and it will be an individual doubles ranking. Only the points in a specific age group will count towards your ranking. Any tournament played in the Iowa District will count towards your year end ranking. II. ITA Standings list- Standings are the current order of players at any given time of calculation. Singles and doubles standings will be posted weekly at www.iowa.usta.com. Standings will include all players who have accumulated at least one (1) ranking point. Standings are calculated on a player s best five (5) tournament results during the previous twelve (12) months. The Iowa District Standings list will only include tournaments played in the Iowa District. Points earned in higher age divisions will count towards your standing in a lower age group. Player records should be checked periodically throughout the year. Corrections may be sent to the ITA office at any time, but must be received no later than December 10. A standing cannot be appealed. III. Standings and Ranking Considerations: A. Year end rankings and current standings will be calculated on the basis of the points per round system. Ranking points are those points that are awarded based on the points per round table in this book and published on the Iowa District website. B. The ITA will yearly review the points per round table to determine which tournaments shall be included in the standings and rankings, the relative levels of the tournaments to be included, and the number of points to be assigned per round for each tournament level. C. Points earned during the entire calendar year will be included in determining year end rankings. Points earned during the previous twelve (12) months will be included in determining current standings. D. Players earn points for wins in each round of a tournament, determined in accordance with the points per round table. E. If a player advances in the first round due to a default and loses the next round, the player will receive points for the first round win. F. Byes do not qualify as wins. G. Withdrawals, defaults, walkover, and retirements qualify as wins for the advancing player and points are earned for that round. H. A player who is defaulted from a tournament for code violations for misconduct forfeits any points accumulated during the tournament.

GETTING READY FOR 2015! AGE ELIGIBILITY - The Process of Entering a Tournament (and what this really means) ALL JUNIOR PLAYERS, competing in USTA sanctioned events, you may play an age division until the month in which you age up, or, in other words, until your birthday month. This means that players who are 12, 14, 16 or 18 years old may continue, to play in their 12, 14, 16 or 18 age division until the month in which they turn 13, 15, 17 or 19, respectively. For example: A player who turns 15 in October, may play in the 14-and-under age up to and through September 30. Starting October 1, this player must play in the 16-and-under age division. As in the past, you may also elect to play in an older age division before you are required to do so. However, it is IMPORTANT that you consult your Section s rulings to be certain of your eligibility in more than one age division before making this choice. 2015 USTA Missouri Valley 12s and 14s Team Event May 22-24, 2015 Kossover Tennis Complex 2540 SW Gage Blvd Topeka, KS 4 Boys 12s and 4 Girls 12s 4 Boys 14s and 4 Girls 14s The Iowa District Teams will be determined by the order of the finish for each age group in the May Boys and Girls Team Event Qualifier at Waveland Courts in Des Moines.
