Utah District Year-End Ranking – 2008
The ranking year runs from Jan 1 to Dec 31, 2008. Each player’s annual year-end ranking will be based on the accumulation of points for winning rounds (PPR) at Utah District Sanctioned Tournaments during the calendar year.  A player must accumulate at least 300 ranking points during the calendar year in order to earn a year-end ranking, in addition to the following: 

ADULTS:  Must compete in one of 4 designated tournaments -

  *Techna-Glass Adult Ice Breaker
  *Ivory Homes Adult Tournament of Champions
  *Adult Utah State Open Tennis Championships
  *The Point After Adult Indoor Tennis Championships. 

Specifics of the Utah District Points Per Round Ranking System Include:
●A player must win a round to receive any points for the tournament.  Byes do not qualify as wins.
●Withdrawals and walkovers qualify as wins for the advancing player and earn Points Per Round.
●Retirements qualify as wins for the advancing player and earn Points Per Round.
●A player who advances because of a default that takes place before the commencement of the first point in the match or because the opponent is disqualified shall receive Points Per Round for advancing.
●A player who is defaulted from a tournament for code violations under the Point Penalty System or misconduct forfeits any points accumulated during the tournament. 
●The final rankings for a junior age division shall include all players who have been age eligible for play in the division at any time during the year, met the ranking requirements for that age, who have accumulated at least 300 points in the division, and have competed in at least 4 Utah Sanctioned Tournaments in that division.  Players may be ranked in more than one age division if they have been age eligible in more than one division during the year, and have met the requirements for that ranking.  Once a player ages out of a division, they can no longer earn points towards their lower age division.
●Adults are eligible to be ranked in more than one division if the have met the ranking requirements for each division; accumulating at least 300 points in the division and have competed in one of the 4 designated tournaments mentioned above.  It is important to remember that rankings are not an assessment of your skill as a player, but an assessment of your record and results in Sanctioned Tournament play in the calendar year.
●Tiebreak Rules for Utah Rankings and Standings Lists will be determined as follows:
A player whose best event has the highest number of points, second best, third best, etc. through six events.

THE ANSWER TO THE MOST COMMONLY ASKED QUESTION: 
Why does my player’s record state “Does not count toward total points?”
 Only your best six (6) events will count towards your Utah District ranking/standings.  If you have over six (6) tournaments on your record, the ranking program automatically drops out the lower scores, and keeps your best six (6) tournament results.
