Championship Format
The format for most flights will consist of a flighted round robin; each team will compete
against all other teams included in the specific flight.
Match Format
Matches will follow the best 2 out of 3 sets format with a match tiebreak
(first to 10 points by two) played in lieu of the 3rd set using the Coman tiebreak
procedure. A 2-minute rest period is permitted after the second set. If the second set ends on even game,
players will not change ends for the tiebreak. The serve rotation and the
return of serve may be changed between the second set and the start of the
tiebreak. New balls are not be provided for the tiebreak in lieu of the 3rd
set. Note: If any players accidentally play the entire third set, it will be
scored as a double default.
Team Standings
The team
with the most number of team matches won will advance to the next round; in
some divisions the next round will be the Semifinals while other divisions
may advance directly to the Finals. In the event of a tie taking place after
completion of the flighted round-robin, the team with the most individual
matches won will be the advancing team. If tied again, the tie will be
broken by awarding the win to the team with the fewest sets lost, followed
by the fewest games lost.
All teams competing at the District Championships
must complete the entire round robin. Total Team Defaults (3 out of 5
positions or 2 out of 3 positions) during Districts
will not be tolerated for any reason and will subject
all players rostered on the team to penalties up to, and including
suspension.
Warm-up time
A 10 minute warm-up, including practice serves, will be strictly
enforced. Once your match is complete, please exit the court promptly
and report scores immediately. When the entire team match has been completed, both Captains are to report to the Tournament Desk and sign
the official tournament score card.
Captain Responsibilities
Line up cards can be attained from the Tournament Desk. The team
Captain or Co-Captain is to submit the team's line up card to the
Tournament Desk at least 15 minutes prior to the scheduled
match time. Once your line-up card has been submitted, no changes
will be permitted. Do not submit your line up card unless all players have
arrived at the site and are ready to play (i.e. shoes on, already used the
restroom, etc). Matches may be started early if
courts are available, per the designation of the Site Director.
Eligibility
All players participating in the 2011 CTA Women's Summer Daytime District
Championships must have a USTA membership valid through October 2011 and be eligible players. An eligible player will have played
and completed a minimum of 2 matches during the league season. Please refer
to the
USTA National League Regulations,
2.03K (page 15) for details regarding
defaulted matches.
Weather
In case of inclement weather, Team Captains need to report to the Tournament
Desk for further instructions. Players may not assume that inclement weather
has permitted them to leave the Tournament Site; all players must have the
permission of the Site Director before leaving the Tournament Site. The
Tournament Committee may make alternate plans to complete the Tournament on
schedule. Such plans may include, but are not limited to, relocating /
rescheduling matches, pro sets and/or
no-ad scoring.
Officials
Roving USTA-Certified Umpires will be present throughout the Tournament to
ensure fairness of play. They will apply the Point Penalty System and will
call foot faults. All players are to abide by the USTA Rules and “The Code.”
Do not ask opinions from spectators or referees. Coaching is not permitted,
except during rain delays. Coaching is not allowed
between the second set and the match tiebreak in lieu of the third set.
Site Specifics
We will be using 3 sites around the Denver-Metro area for this year's CTA
Women's Summer Daytime District Championships.
A special thanks to our host sites:
Please pay close attention to the
site that is listed next to each of your team's matches. Teams may not play
at the same site for each round. Click on the links above for maps/directions to each site.
NTRP Grievances
NTRP grievances that are filed during District Championships will have no
effect on the player's ability to participate during Districts. These
grievances will be reviewed by the Section League Grievance Committee at the
conclusion of the District Championships, so if a player is disqualified as
a result of an NTRP grievance that was filed during Districts, it will only
prevent the player from advancing to Sectionals.
All teams in advancing positions have confirmed their attendance. If your team has qualified for District and is not able to attend or to
field a full roster, you must contact
Taylor McKinley immediately.
Best of luck to you and your team!
