Important Information

 

Grading

Each timeslot will be graded.

Grading is based on many factors including past junior comps, UTR, and internal and external tournament results. 

Comp organisers set up a balance of players within each division.  As necessary, throughout the comp, players and divisions may be rearranged by comp organiser. Decision on pairing and teams is made by the comp organisers and this decision is final. This junior competiton is strickly based on ability, noting divisions are not based on age or gender.

 

Requests

You are not required to request a playing partner and requesting a partner is not guaranteed. Comp organisers set up teams for a balanced division.  As each team is graded, it is the comp organisers making the final decision to compile teams.  Please email organisers prior to registration closing date if you won't play this comp without your chosen partner. To avoid disappointment, please do not submit requests as they cannot be guaranteed.

Registering in this comp, you are committing to be available to play every match. If you unable to play a match, you are required to arrange a substitute player.

 

Bye/Substitute Player

Every draw includes one team as BYE/SUB players. Please keep this date available to play right up until match commencement time.  PLEASE don't make social plans, keep it free to fill in for your division and/or to play at another timeslot.

 

Reserves

Every division is allocated reserve players. You may be placed on the reserve player list.

 

Xpoint and UTR

We use Xpoint Sports which will be of benefit to all of our juniors and giving guidance on grading for play in our competition and other competitions they may play in.

This online system will allow players to input their own scores online post match. 

It also means that results through the Xpoint system will contribute to a players Universal Tennis Rating (UTR).

UTR is calculated by an algorithm using a player's last 30 eligible match scores from the last 12 months. 

The results will typically be visible on the UTR platform within 14 days of the match results being entered into Xpoint. Please head to the Xpoint Sports website, familarise yourself with this program and you must keep your profile up-to-date.

Emails for this comp will be sent from noreply@XpointSports. Occasionally, we will send information from info@northwestsydneytennis.com.au.

Updates to UTR are handled automatically by the Xpoint platform and Oracle Corporation. NWST cannot affect the speed at which match results are updated on the UTR website. Please be patient.
