President’s Message
O
ur mission, as one of 17 sections of the USTA, is “To promote and develop the growth of tennis.” Here in the Missouri Valley Section, we have done so in 2005 and look to continue in 2006 through the efforts of our staff, our board and our volunteers. We, as a section, have embraced innovations, programs and initiatives. We have expanded the outreach of our committees, so much in the case of the Multi-Cultural Participation committee, that it was renamed the Diversity Committee to reflect all the diverse areas in which it has become involved. We have added to our excellent staff in order to continue to service and grow our membership as part of a national initiative; thus, each club member should have increased contact with staff in order to “grow the game” and to provide benefits of a life-long sport to even greater numbers of players, especially new and lapsed players. This commitment from the National board and office reflects an increased dedication to community players and existing members. Opportunities in our section to attend Professional events abound. With three World Team Tennis franchises and numerous Pro Circuit events, we in the Missouri Valley Section have the opportunity to witness world class tennis within a short driving distance. I encourage all members to take advantage of these opportunities.
Look for expansion of the programs in which you participate. Leagues, Juniors, Adults, Competitive and Community Tennis will all be enhanced this year in hopes of continuing the trend of increased frequent play. In addition, I personally encourage everyone to get involved not just in playing, but in volunteering, whether it be at the local, district or section level. If you are not satisfied with any program and are not involved, you are part of the problem. Finally, I want to thank all the people who are involved, both staff and volunteers, trying to make the tennis experience a good one, who sit in long meetings, participate in conference phone calls, captain league teams, umpire or sit at a tournament site trying to make the tennis experience better for other players, often sacrificing not only their time, but their personal opportunities to play. I would also like for those players who choose not to devote their time to at least join me in personally thanking those who do, as personal thanks are what make those sacrifices a worthwhile endeavor. Looking forward to a great 2006,
Kevin Nebergall

Executive Director’s Message

005 was a very busy and productive year. We – the USTA/Missouri Valley Section – held our first Tennis on Campus Sectional playoffs, as we continue to (forgive the pun) court young players. We also hosted the first Tennis Block Party in the nation, as well as the Super Senior National Invitational. We added a quarterly publication, CrossCourt, to provide our members stories specifically about the Missouri Valley, and as you can see, we have revamped the Yearbook for 2006. More improvements are on the way, with five facilities in our section awarded USTA funding to upgrade their courts. Best of all, across the country, including the Missouri Valley, more people are playing tennis and playing it more frequently. Now we want to keep the ball rolling. In 2006, Tennis Service Representatives (TSR) have been added to each USTA section’s staff to better service our customers. Here in the Missouri Valley, we have a TSR serving in each district. They will be focusing on our clubs and facilities, assessing their program needs, the community needs and suggesting collaborations to grow participation. We have added two Community

Tennis Program Managers to assist in supporting our customers. We truly want to embrace our communities and grow the game! Along those lines, we will always need volunteers to assist in events that introduce the game to new players. We look forward to major growth in our schools/after schools programming, as well as Tennis on Campus. Once we get kids playing in high school, we want to keep them playing through college. Upon graduation, USTA League tennis will be waiting for them, keeping them playing for life – unlike almost any other sport! This year we’re going to really promote tennis, fun and fitness. Look for a bigger emphasis on tennis’ health benefits as more Cardio Tennis sites “pop up.” Ask your friends and family to play tennis, just for the “health” of it! Here’s hoping in 2007, we’ll look back on 2006 and say, “That was another busy year that saw more people playing, helping the game we love grow healthier.”
Mary Buschmann
Tennis “returns the service” of improved physical health, personal confidence and cognitive abilities to those who participate, regardless of age. You can give the gift of tennis by contributing to the Missouri Valley Tennis Foundation, which provides grants and supports programs that promote tennis and education in your community. Your gift is an investment in making a difference in your community’s future by helping establish, administer and promote tennis programs devoted to the development of healthy lifestyles and physical fitness through the sport of tennis. With your assistance, the Missouri Valley Tennis Foundation will encourage and provide assistance for tennis initiatives and will promote health, character, sportsmanship and responsible citizenship for youth and adults regardless of race, creed, national origin, sex or age. Please make your tax deductible gift support payable to the MVTF and mail it to 8676 W 96th Street, Suite. 100, Overland Park, KS 66212. You’ll be glad you helped “return the serve.”

2005 Annual Conference Former University of Kansas tennis coach Dr. Robert Mechem expresses his gratitude for being inducted into the USTA/Missouri Valley Section Hall of Fame.
Despite a blast of arctic air sweeping through the area, there was no putting a chill into the 2005 USTA/Missouri Valley Annual Conference held Dec. 3-5 at the Sheraton Hotel in Overland Park, Kan. Everyone remained focused on the meeting’s main theme, keeping “All Eyes On Growing The Game!” Attendance topped 200. The three-day agenda included a variety of on- and off-court activities, including breakout sessions, a clinic for high school coaches, guest speakers and the “Battle of the Districts” competition. Five new members were inducted into the Section Hall of Fame, and Section award winners were honored. Furthermore, the new USTA/Missouri Valley logo was officially unveiled. USTA Managing Director of Community Tennis
Marketing and Development Kathy Francis opened the conference with a preview of the nationwide new USTA brand image campaign. The “It’s Your Game!” campaign will target former players to them get back on the court and encourage current players to play more. Other guests from the national office include Vice President Lucy Garvin and USTA Manging Director of Players & Network Services Patricia Freebody. Among the breakout sessions, one was center entirely around reiterating the importance of public relations. Eric Morgenstern, founder of and now chief client officer for Morningstar Communications, stressed proven tactics to attract media coverage for events and programs. Meanwhile, Brenda Pelofsky, a Kansas City-area non-profit fundraising specialist, provided insights into how to become a more effective grant writer to obtain the necessary dollars to operate programs. USTA/Missouri Valley Community Tennis Committee Chair Ajay Pant discussed another topic also crucial to growing the game: customer service. Pant, tennis director for the Indian Creek Racquet Club in Overland Park, told a group of tennis professionals how important excellent service was to getting former players playing again and to welcome new people to give tennis a try. “This year’s annual meeting was successful in many ways,” said USTA/Missouri Valley President Kevin Nebergall. “Our attendance was up, and we were better able to spread the word about various programs and initiatives. “With dedicated volunteers such as those who attended, coupled with the USTA announcement of increased tennis participation, we indeed have a bright future.”
REPEAT CHAMPION The Heart of America District successfully defended its title as “Battle of the Districts” champion, defeating Kansas in the final. The eight-team competition, featuring the World Team Tennis format, includes teams from each of USTA/Missouri Valley Section’s seven distircts, as well as a squad of Section staff. The seventh annual competition was held at the Indian Creek Racquet Club in Overland Park, Kan.

Community Tennis COMMUNITY TENNIS ASSOCIATIONS Community Tennis Associations (CTAs) work with USTA Districts, Sections and the National Office to deliver USTA Tennis programs to grow the number of new and frequent recreational and competitive players. CTAs, independent local tennis associations, offer those in their respective communities a variety of programs such as afterschool tennis and USTA League Tennis. A Community Tennis Association is an organized group of dedicated volunteers (parents, players) and professionals (teaching pros, coaches, park & recreation staff, an attorney or key business leaders) who come together to support community tennis programs or projects. As an association, a group of volunteers develop their vision for tennis, based on the needs of the community in which they live. CTAs coordinate and maintain programs and services, acting as advocates, program administrators, promoters and fund-raisers. They are not-for-profit entities, and they are key to promoting and developing the growth of tennis in their local communities. For more information or to register your CTA, contact John Terpkosh at 515-287-9100 or jterpkosh@movalley.usta.com.
Participants in a Metro Omaha (Neb.) Tennis Alliance “Learn To Play” program. The Omaha Parks and Recreation Department teamed with the Omaha Tennis Association to form the alliance, emphasizing diversity outreach programs through inner-city parks and schools.
DIVERSITY The USTA Diversity Initiative will develop program awareness, new program initiatives and program continuity that will substantially increase minority participation among recreational and competitive players, volunteers, industry professionals and administrators. These efforts will ensure that all people have the opportunity to experience the educational, health and other lifetime benefits of tennis.

Community Tennis ADAPTIVE PROGRAMMING Tennis is a sport without boundaries. Yes, there are lines on a court, but they are not there to exclude anyone. USTA Adaptive Programming recognizes four main categories of differently-abled players: Developmentally disabled (learning disabilities, autism, Down Syndrome, mental retardation, etc). Physically disabled (birth defects, multiple sclerosis, traumatic brain injury, muscular dystrophy, etc.). Consumers of mental health services (psychiatrically disabled, emotionally disturbed, etc.). At risk / environmentally disabled (substance abusers, mentally and physically abused, homeless, HIV positive individuals, persons with in the juvenile
justice system, etc.). For each of these groups, USTA Tennis Special Populations supports adaptive tennis programs, providing resources for specifically tailored programs that provide fun, fitness and a positive social experience for participants. Clinics and instructional programs are held throughout the Section, often in conjunction with agencies devoted to serving special populations within their respective communities. The enjoyment, physical well-being and contact shared by participants have proven to be positive sources of self-esteem, helping open doors to a more positive lifestyle. For more information, contact Connie Robertson at 785-887-6730 or crobertson@movalley.usta.com.

TENNIS WELCOME CENTERS
WELCOME BACK TO TENNIS™
An estimated 71 million Americans have tried tennis but left due to a poor introductory experience... they simply picked up a racquet and tried to play without the benefit of instruction or coaching. Research shows that when people are introduced to tennis through fun and organized instructional programs they keep playing. We need your help to attract and retain more tennis players. As a Tennis Welcome Center, your tennis facility will benefit from the largest marketing campaign EVER to introduce new players to tennis “the right way” so they keep playing! Tennis facilities meeting new 2006 basic requirements may become a Tennis Welcome Center and benefit from the largest national marketing campaign EVER to attract new players to tennis. Through the website, TennisWelcomeCenter.com, potential players can enter their zip code and find out about introductory instructional programs offered near them. Your facility or program name doesn’t change; you simply become part of a network of Tennis Welcome Centers welcoming new players to the game. To register as a Tennis Welcome Center, visit www.Partners.TennisWelcomeCenter.com or visit with your district’s Tennis Service Representative.
The purpose of the Welcome Back to Tennis party for players age 50+ is to encourage people to make a commitment to a healthier lifestyle by providing them with an exciting social tennis event and offering them opportunities to join a specifically designed continuing tennis program. The target audience is people, ages 50 to 70, who used to play tennis but stopped playing or who would like to get started. These events aren’t intended for individuals who are already involved in a local program or league. Here’s a snapshot of a Welcome Back to Tennis™ party: A three-hour event that includes socializing, music, food, and drinks, advice on new racquet technology, safety considerations, warm-up and cooldown activities, on-court tennis activities, prizes, and sign-up opportunities for continuing tennis programs.

USTA/Missouri Valley 2006 Yearbook
Being a good sport means more than shaking hands after match point _____________ By Marti Eidson (EDITOR’S NOTE: Marti was an intern with the USTA/Missouri Valley Section in January 2006. Having played tennis since she was 4, she is now the No. 1 player for Baker University in Baldwin City, Kan. )
I
have seen and heard it all, from giving your opponent credit for a good shot to the sound of a racket slamming against the court. Because I have been playing tennis for almost
17 years, nothing comes as a surprise. As far as sportsmanship is concerned, keeping anger and aggression from taking over control is difficult for some, and for others staying cool comes naturally. As for myself, it is a work in progress. Many can relate to my competitive nature, always wanting to succeed and do my best, and when I don’t, it’s frustrating. Fighting off the urge to scream is an ongoing battle for many players. After speaking with many of the 2005 USTA/Missouri Valley Section Junior Sportsmanship Award winners, I was inspired. Rebecca Parks from Tulsa, Okla., winner of the Girls’ 18 Junior Sportsmanship Award, said that it is difficult when opponents get angry and make bad calls. “You have to learn to control yourself,” stated Parks. “People’s opinions of you are dictated by how you act, not just how you play.”
It’s not all about how fast you serve, how often you can hit that forehand winner, or making sure you win by double goose eggs, but also about how you act when competing – win or lose. After hearing Parks explain how important sportsmanship is in the game of tennis, it makes me think twice about how I am perceived by others. When you are on the court, in your zone, it’s easy to forget that there are people watching you and how you act. Rebecca’s mother, Patricia, said that her daughter had to work at being a good sport. “It never came naturally,” she said. “As far as adversity on the court,
she had to work hard at it.” And that hard work has paid off for Rebecca, who is a top college scholarship contender in Oklahoma. The high level of sportsmanship Rebecca displays, along with her tennis ability, will definitely help her become more marketable to college coaches. SCHOLARSHIPS & SPORTSMANSHIP Iowa State University’s head women’s tennis coach Michele Conlon looks for good sports, not just good players, when recruiting. “If you recruit a person into your program that has strong character, it makes life a lot smoother,” said Conlon, who has a previous Billy Talbert National Sportsmanship Award winner and a Missouri Valley Junior Sportsmanship Award winner on her team. She says that any college coach looks for sportsmanship in a player to a certain degree: “It’s not the only part of

recruiting, but it is important.” Reagan Dodd, head men’s and women’s tennis coach at Baker University in Baldwin City, Kan., agrees with Coach Conlon. “If I hear negatives about a player, it makes me think twice,” Dodd said. “Sportsmanship definitely ranks in the top three things I look at when recruiting a player.” After speaking with Boys’ 16 USTA/Missouri Valley Section Junior Sportsmanship Award winner Abe Souza from St. Louis, his positive attitude was engraved in my mind. He gave great advice for players who are struggling with this aspect of the game. “You have to remind yourself that if
Abe Souza has both a mature tennis game and attitude: “You have to remind yourself that if you get mad, you are probably going to play worse.”
Good Sports In Action... Good sports do not go unnoticed. What do good sports do to stand out? “On match point, a guy hit a ball, his opponent called it good, and the umpire called the ball out. The guy who called it good, overruled the umpire and lost the match.” – Abe Souza, junior player from St. Louis

you get mad, you are probably going to play worse, and that’s not what anyone wants,” observed Souza. POSTIVE ON & OFF THE COURT Souza is currently ranked No. 1 in the USTA/Missouri Valley Boys’ 16 section. He said that being a good sport gives his ranking validity for others. “If you are a good sport, people honor your accomplishments and respect you that much more,” Souza stated. “There’s not much they can say about your ranking except that you succeed because of hard work and being a good player.” There is so much truth in what Souza said. What can people say about you if you are a hard but fair player? Nothing. Nothing but positives. They’ll say you win and lose with respect and class – not that you win because your tantrums distract your opponent. How you play the game really does matter, according For both Junior Sportsmanship to Rebecca Parks: “People’s opinions of you Award winners, Rebecca and Abe, are dictated by how you act, not just how their high level of sportsmanship you play.” has encompassed all aspects of their lives. “It just teaches me to look at the ing sportsmanship qualities on and off positive side of everything,” Parks said. the court.

he USTA has unveiled a new brand identity that creates a consistent and unified branded platform for all USTA programs and events. For the first time, the iconic flaming ball of the US Open will be integrated into the USTA logo to better connect the US Open to all USTA programs. The new brand identity further signifies the USTA’s position as a progressive leader in driving the growth and appeal of tennis in the United States – from local communities to the highest level of the professional game. The new flaming ball and shield logo provides a consistent visual communication that links USTA programs – the US Open, USTA Pro Circuit, USTA Leagues, USTA Junior Team Tennis, USTA Membership – and the 17 USTA Sections. “This new branding system creates a consistent identity linking all USTA professional and grassroots programs, while creating an aspirational brand to further grow the game,” said Michelle Wilson, managing director of Marketing, Pro Tennis, USTA. “By carrying the flaming ball icon through the entire brand identity system, we can better leverage fans’ emotional connection to the US Open to all our programs.” The new logo and brand identity is now being incorporated into all USTA materials, including USTA professional and recreational programs, usta.com, USTA Magazine, and all USTA events. In addition, the new branding system will be incorporated throughout the 17 USTA Sections. The new logo also will be prominently featured at the USTA National Tennis Center, home of the US Open.

Dynamic NTRP Overview The use of a dynamic rating system is predicated on having the ability to get the match results into the national database quickly and easily with the help of team captains to report scores. The USTA’s automated data management system, TennisLink™, integrates the national database and the NTRP program to provide a seamless flow of information.
TennisLink provides: • Significantly improved team registration, membership and eligibility management • Increased efficiency in match scorecard entry • Automated standings and a Championship module Information for NEW USTA League Tennis players If you’re a NEW player to USTA League Tennis, you will benefit from ease of entry and the elimination of on-court verification and its associated costs and time. NEW players enter the program by rating themselves using the NTRP General and Specific Characteristics of Various Playing Levels, located in “National Tennis Rating Program” on the USTA League Tennis web page and in various USTA publications. The NTRP characteristics have not changed. Many of you should be able to self-rate accurately…do you play with league players who currently have computer ratings. Knowing their ratings, where would you place yourself?
TennisLink will provide a self-rating declaration box for new players at the time of registration. New players will begin to generate a dynamic NTRP rating after their first match against a player who has an NTRP computer rating. Information for RETURNING USTA League Tennis players If you’re a returning USTA League Tennis player you will begin your league season with your current NTRP computer rating. If you received your computer rating before the 2001 league year, you may self-rate to enter the program. Computer ratings will stay in the system for 5 years starting with the 2001 computer rating. Disqualification Dynamic NTRP ratings will be run by the computer to determine if any players are “clearly above level” using the current Disqualification Procedure Guidelines. Players will be disqualified if they achieve the currently established “clearly above level” status three times based on all matches reported in the national database for Adult and Senior Divisions. This includes all match play in Adult and Senior divisions in all sections. Remember, you must reach this disqualification level three times during the championship league year in order to be disqualified. Visit missourivalley.usta.com for regulation updates.
Frequently Asked Questions What is "Dynamic" NTRP? Dynamic NTRP is an enhanced tennis rating system that generates player ratings at regular intervals over the course of a season (unlike the present static system that defers all rating calculations to year-end). What is different? Dynamic NTRP allows players to self-rate instead of attending verification clinics. Disqualifications will be handled directly by the NTRP program. How will it work? Players will register through TennisLink. If they have a valid computer rating on file in the database it will confirm their eligibility for the team. If they have no rating on file the player will be required to declare a self-rating before completing the registration. After each match, the captain will enter the scores online in TennisLink. These results will be calculated in the dynamic NTRP computer program. USTA will monitor the ratings and inform players if they reach the disqualification level three times based on all adult and senior matches appearing in the system. Remember, Mixed Doubles does not have NTRP disqualification. Has the way that the computer program calculates ratings been changed? The basic mathematical algorithm has not changed. The computer still looks at your match scores and not whether you won or lost the match. Significant procedural changes apply in Dynamic NTRP, however. Where historically, your final rating was a function exclusively of your results at the highest level of competition entered, under Dynamic NTRP final ratings are based 50 percent on your cumulative dynamic rating entering an event and 50 percent on the traditional benchmark calculation method. W ill my rating now change in mid-year? Only if you reach the third strike and are disqualified at your present level. Otherwise you will still receive a year-end rating just as in the past.
Does Dynamic NTRP treat doubles partners differently? Dynamic NTRP maintains whatever rating differential between doubles partners that existed before a match. For example, if a 3.3 and a 3.5 player are paired together, whatever spread between opponents is dictated by the specific match results, the two partners will have ratings only .2 different from one another after the dynamic calculation is completed. How do you know that new players will self-rate correctly? Historically, better than 8 out of 10 new players self-rate accurately when attending a rating clinic in anticipation of entering the USTA League Tennis program. Actual match results will determine whether a player self-rates too high or too low with the prospect of player disqualification if warranted. What do I do if I think a self-rated player is too good for the level? Captains may request a Player Review by the Leagues Administrator to examine the challenged player s match results and resulting Dynamic Ratings. Can I declare a different self-rating for different League Divisions (e.g., 3.5 for Adult and 4.0 for Senior)? No. Once you declare an initial self-rating, you are bound by it for the calendar year or until you generate a final, year-end rating. The only exception to this is in the event of a player disqualification, where one is immediately bound by the higher, DQ rating. During the transition year, if a player has a current visual rating, must they abide by the visual? Yes. The visual as issued will be placed in the TennisLink system and will be your official self-rating for the transition year. Self-ratings are removed at the end of the calendar year.
USTA/Missouri Valley 2006 Yearbook
DISQUALIFICATION PROCESS What is a strike and how do I get one? Each time a player s dynamic rating exceeds the maximum tolerance for the level, he/she automatically earns a strike. Three strikes considering all matches in the Adult and Senior Divisions from all sections in the database from Local League up to and including Sectional Championships and you re disqualified. What are the consequences of disqualification? In all cases, the player is disqualified from participation at that NTRP level. Each USTA Section will determine which of two methods the section will follow at the local and the championship level. The effect on Team Standings may vary, depending on when the DQ occurs: During local league: Either the individual match that produced the disqualification and any subsequent match played by the player OR all previous matches played shall be considered losses. W ill a player be advised each time that he/she earns a strike ? No. Notice occurs only after three strikes are accumulated. W ill I be told exactly which matches earned me three strikes ? Yes, with notification of disqualification you will be provided with a printout of all your matches and the NTRP level generated for each match. Who is notified in the event of a disqualification? By whom? How quickly? Responsibility for monitoring dynamic ratings lies with the Sectional Leagues Coordinator. When a third strike situation arises, the SLC will notify (a) the affected player, by telephone, e-mail or voicemail message; (b) the player s Team Captain, using the Captain s e-mail address as reported on TennisLink; and (c) the relevant District and Local League Coordinator. Notification is made within one business day of determination that a third strike has been received. Hard copy will be mailed to player s address as it appears on the team roster.

Adult Rules 1. Player must be a resident of the state of Kansas, a member of an armed forces family stationed in Kansas, a non-citizen holding a green-card, or a student who attends a Kansas school and maintains a Kansas District residence on their USTA membership. 2. Players must present a current USTA membership card, or new membership proof, prior to entry into Kansas District sanctioned tournaments. 3. The USTA computer ranking system of points per round reached is used by the Kansas District for ranking procedures. This system allows for additional ranking points to be awarded for more participation by a player, as well as for participation in heavier weighted tournaments. 4. The ranking committee will determine which tournaments will be weighted heavier for ranking purposes. For 2006, addi-
tional points will be awarded for participation in one of the listed tournaments from each of the four geographical tournament areas: Kansas State Open, Kansas State Closed, Mid-Continent Open and the Topeka Jayhawk Open. The season-ending Tournament of Champions will also be weighted heavier as well as any other tournament with a singles draw of more than 16 participants or doubles draw of more than eight teams. 5. To be ranked in singles, players must play a minimum of two tournaments sanctioned with the Kansas District. 6. To be ranked in doubles, players must play at least two tournaments sanctioned with the Kansas District with the same partner.
results from Kansas District tournaments will be used for KDTA Adult Tournament rankings. 8. If a player is NTRP rated, they may not participate or be ranked in a level lower than their NTRP rating. 9. If a player enters a tournament but finds they will not be able to participate, they must notify the tournament director at least one day prior to tournament start. Entering of a tournament as a no-show will not count positively towards the requirement of participation for rankings. 10. Any discrepancies involving rankings will be handled by the ranking committee.
Junior rules are available at kansas.usta.com.
7. Players must have a minimum of one win in the event they wish to be considered in for a ranking. The best FOUR

Be a current resident within the Missouri District. 2. Hold current USTA membership.

Nebraska Ranking Year: Oct. 1 to Sept. 30. Adult Ranking Regulations (Open, 5.0, 4.5, 4.0, 3.5, 3.0; and Mixed) 1. Minimum tournament participation requirement.

The Omaha metropolitan area is defined as Douglas and Sarpy counties; and the Lincoln metropolitan area is defined as Lancaster County. 2. In divisions in which fewer than five tournaments are held, the ranking committee may waive the requirement of playing a tournament outside the metropolitan area. Junior Ranking Regulations (Boys’/Girls’ 10, 12, 14, 16 and 18 Divisions) The New System is Points Per Round. (PRR) In this system a player receives a set amount of points in each tournament that he/she participates in according to the highest level of the draw that the player attains. Regulations: 1.

for the advancing player and earn PPR. 3. Retirements qualify as wins for the advancing player and earn PPR. 4. A player who is defaulted from a tournament for code violations under the PPS or misconduct forfeits any points accumulated during the tournament. 5. Annual ranking will be calculated based on a players 5 Best Tournaments played within Nebraska during the calendar year, January through December (i.e. A player plays 10 USTA sanctioned tournaments within Nebraska, the PPR System will take that players 5 best tournament results based on how he or she finishes in a draw.) There will be two levels of tournaments: Level 1 is Endorsements and Team Events. Level 2 is all other NTA Tournaments. 6. At the end of the ranking year, a Standing List will be produced based on the players’ 5 Best Tournaments. 7. A player must participate in a minimum of three tournaments in the same age division and event. One of the tournaments must be located in Area 1 and one must be in Area 2. Area 1 is all of the Nebraska District except for the Omaha and Lincoln Metropolitan Areas as defined in the Adult Ranking Regulations as previously mentioned.

USTA/Missouri Valley 2006 Yearbook
10 Divisions 1. Tournament participation requirement. A player must play in two USTA sanctioned or NTA authorized events. 2. Results considered. Results from USTA sanctioned events in the Nebraska District and from Nebraska authorized events shall be considered for ranking. 3. Doubles tournament participation requirement. The team must compete in the same division in two tournaments in the Nebraska District to be considered for ranking. Nebraska Procedures for Endorsement The following procedures will be used to determine endorsement in USTA/Missouri Valley Super Series National Qualifier Tournaments. SEGMENT II (USTA/Missouri Valley Super Events in June) Objectives: The first objective is to provide a format that allows the top Nebraska players to play against each other. The second is to determine Nebraska’s four quota spots into the USTA/Missouri Valley Super Events in Segment II in June. The endorsement process is one of three routes to participation in these tournaments. The other two routes are by *receiving an at-large berth from the USTA/Missouri Valley into these tournaments; or by receiving a wildcard berth. (See the USTA/Missouri Valley Junior Section for details.) 1. The Pre-Endorsement tournament is open to all Nebraska District juniors who are age-eligible for the age division on June 30, 2006. 2. The Boys 14, 16, and 18 age divisions will have a Pre-Endorsement Tournament followed by an Endorsement Tournament. The finalists of the Pre-endorsement automatically receive two of the spots. The players who finish in spots 3 through 10 qualify for the Endorsement Tournament. The Endorsement Tournament uses a special draw format to select the remaining two spots. 3. The Boys 12 and Girls 12, 14, 16 and 18 divisions and those divisions that have 12 or fewer entrants in the Pre-Endorsement will have only an Endorsement Tournament. In these divisions, the Endorsement Tournament shall be used to determine all four Nebraska quota spots. Endorsement tournaments use a special feed-in or compass draw format determined by the NTA Junior Competition Committee. 4. If a player declines to accept a quota spot into the USTA/Missouri Valley Super Tournaments, the player who finishes in the next place shall be given the spot. 5. In order to encourage top ranked players to play district tournaments, the USTA/Missouri Valley now requires players who receive an atlarge endorsement spot in the USTA/Missouri Valley Super Tournaments to play in their district’s endorsement process. In order to meet this requirement, the highest Nebraska player
on the USTA/Missouri Valley Selection List who receives an at-large endorsement spot will be required to play the winner of the Nebraska Endorsement Tournament; the second highest player on this list who receives an at-large spot will be required to play the runner-up in the Nebraska Endorsement Tournament, and the third highest player on this list who receives an at-large spot will be required to play the third place finisher in the Nebraska Endorsement Tournament. These matches will be played after the Nebraska Endorsement Tournament at a time determined by the NTA Junior Competition Committee. These matches count for ranking but will not affect the order of finish in the Endorsement Tournament because the players receiving an at-large spot do not take up a Nebraska quota spot. (Note that if the NTA did not require these top players to participate in the endorsement process, then under new USTA/Missouri Valley regulations, these players would effectively take up Nebraska quota spots.)
Nebraska 12’s Team 1. The Nebraska 12s team is open to players who are age eligible for the division on May 31, 2006. 2. The team consists of ten boys and ten girls who make the traveling team and six boys and six girls who are alternates. 3. Players who made the traveling team in 2005 and played in the top half of the line-up are automatically placed on the team. 4. The Nebraska 12’s Intrateam Competition is held in the winter to determine the remaining members of the team and to assist in establishing the line-ups. Sixteen boys and 16 girls are invited to play in the competition. Players who were selected to play in the competition in 2005 are automatically eligible to play in the competition in 2006. The remaining positions in the tournaments are determined by try-outs supervised by the NTA Junior Competition Committee. The competition is played over two weekends and uses a special round robin format developed by the NTA Junior Competition Committee.
SEGMENT III (USTA/Missouri Valley Super Events in November and December) 1. Nebraska is entitled to two quota spots. 2. The Nebraska Closed Tournament shall be used to determine the two quota spots. The first objective of this tournament is to provide a format that allows the top Nebraska players to play against each other. The second is to determine Nebraska’s two quota spots into the USTA/Missouri Valley Super Tournaments in Segment III. The tournament will use a special feed-in format determined by the NTA Junior Competition Committee. 3. If a player declines to accept a quota spot into the USTA/Missouri Valley Super Tournaments or if a player will not be age eligible for the USTA/Missouri Valley Super Tournaments, the player who finishes in the next place shall be given the spot. 4. If the player who finishes immediately behind the player who is to receive the second spot has not played that player in the Endorsement Tournament, then the player may request a playoff for the final spot, which request shall be made before the player leaves the tournament.
Nebraska 14’s Team 1. The Nebraska 14’s team is open to players who are age eligible for the division on July 31, 2006. 2. The team consists of four boys and four girls. 3. The Nebraska Junior Competition Committee selects the players. Selection will be based on the most recent USTA/Missouri Valley Selection List that is available when the selections are made and in the case of player moving from the 12 and under division into the 14 and under division on the results of the Pre-Endorsement, Endorsement, and Competitive Training Center competition. Additionally the Committee may consider selecting outstanding players who remain eligible for the 12 and under division.
SEGMENT I (USTA/Missouri Valley Super Events in January and February) 1. Nebraska is entitled to two quota spots. 2. The spots will be given to the two players ranked highest who are still age-eligible for the division on Feb. 28, 2006 (the Missouri Valley Section list will be used). 3. If a player declines a quota spot, it will be offered to the next highest ranked player who is age eligible.

Adult & Junior Rules ADULTS RANKINGS: To obtain a District ranking in singles, a player must play a minimum of two (2) sanctioned tournaments in the same division, in which the player wants to be ranked. For a doubles ranking, a doubles team must play together, in at least two (2) sanctioned tournaments, in the same divisions. JUNIORS A player's year-end ranking will be the player's accumulative record for the twelve month period, not per segment. The St. Louis District will base their rankings on the "Points per Round" system starting in 2004. IN ORDER TO BE ELIGIBLE for a St. Louis district ranking in the juniors, a player must play at least two (2)USTA-ST. Louis District sanctioned events in the calendar year, in the same age bracket. One of the two designated sanctioned tournaments MUST be a district endorser tournament. The player and parents must reside within the St. Louis District boundaries. If a player is living outside our District, his parents and the players address MUST be listed inside the St. Louis District. If a players address is other than a St. Louis address, he is not eligible to participate in the District Endorsers. The boys 16 & 18's will have their two endorser tournaments for Segment II, in Jan/Feb. The girls' 16's and 18's, depending on the Missouri Valley's schedule, may or may not have an
endorser for Segment III. Any head-to-head results, that occur between two St. Louis District players in an "out of district" sanctioned event, will count toward SLDTA seeding, and their district ranking, IF the victorious player reports the results to the district office and once the results are confirmed.
endorser and then withdrawing before the draw is made is allowed, with no suspension points being handed out. The "at-large" list may or may not be available prior to any of our endorser tournaments. Juniors will be allowed to play "up" in any age division in any district tournament except ENDORSERS.
For the indoor segments (I & III), St. Louis will be given 2 spots, per age division, directly into the Super. For Segment II, the outdoor segment, St. Louis will be given 6 spots. These will go to the top three (3) finishers in each of the two endorsers. The top three finishers in the first endorser of Seg. II, may not play in the second endorser for Seg. II, as they have already earned a spot into the Super's for Seg. II.
AGE REQUIREMENTS A player is age eligible for an event if the player does not exceed the maximum age for the age division, by the last day of the tournament month. The start date determines the tournament month.
The "At-Large" list is a selection list generated out of the Missouri Valley Section - not the St. Louis District. If a player is confident they will have an "at-large" spot, then they do not have to play the endorser tournament(s), and they will move directly into the Super tournament, if they are indeed on this list. If a player is not sure whether or not they will receive an at-large spot, it will then be their decision to play, or not to play in the endorser. If a player is not sure about their chances of being on the at-large list, they should enter the endorser with the understanding that once the draw is made, they are expected to play the tournament to completion, otherwise suspension points will be handed out, regardless of the "at-large" list. Entering an
USTA/Missouri Valley 2006 Yearbook
SEEDING REQUIREMENTS Seeding is based on recent head-to-head results of the specific players entered in the tournament. TO BE CONSIDERED FOR SEEDING, the player's match record must be sent in with each and every entry form. We look at local results, but will also take into consideration out of district, head-to-head results, if we are made aware of them. Do not assume we already know your child's record or any results. NOVICE CIRCUIT RULES Eligibility rules for participation for the St. Louis District Closed Novice Circuit and tournaments are: (1) the player cannot be ranked in the top 15 in the St. Louis district; (2) the player cannot be ranked in the top 30 in the USTA/Missouri Valley Section; (3) the player cannot be ranked in the top 150 nationally.
