2012 USTA/Midwest Section Adult Standing and Ranking Lists
The USTA/Midwest Section Standing Lists for adults will be published at least bi-weekly, and may be obtained on the USTA/Midwest Section website at
www.midwest.usta.com. These lists will be calculated using all match results from the previous 12 months that have been entered into the ranking database at the time of publishing in the age division that is being calculated.
These lists are not ranking lists. The requirements for being included on these lists are less rigorous than for an actual ranking. Corrections or inquiries regarding the Standing List must be submitted by mail, fax or e-mail only to the USTA/Midwest Section. Positions may not be appealed. Corrections will be researched, and changes will be made when appropriate.
Results Considered for USTA/Midwest Section Standing List: All matches started or completed in any USTA-sanctioned tournament involving Midwest players will be used.
Minimum Requirement: To be eligible to be listed on the USTA/Midwest Section Adult/Senior Standing List in singles or doubles, a player must play in one Midwest Adult/Senior Championship in the age division in which the player seeks to be listed.
Points-Per-Round System: This system ranks players based upon the round they reach in tournaments they play within the USTA/Midwest Section. Points will be awarded based on the tournament played and the currently published and applicable tournament base points table (see below).
Points shall be computed from a specifically determined number of the player’s best tournament results as follows:
4 tournaments - All Men’s age divisions at and below 65
3 tournaments - All Men’s age divisions at and above 70
3 tournaments - All Women’s (all)
