2017 USTA National Women's Intersectional Team Event
PROCEDURES FOR Women’s INTERSECTIONAL TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS
All USTA Sections are eligible to field a team in each age division as follows: 35s, 45s, 55s, 65s, 75s, and 80s.
These events will count for USTA national ranking purposes. Players shall earn Ranking Points in national ranking tournaments based on a points-per-round ranking system. This information is published on the USTA website.
National Intersectional Team Event Points Table as of January 29, 2009.
Total Maximum
Points Possible Position
Played Points earned per win
at Intersectionals
A player can only accumulate the maximum number of
points possible for that position. If a player played in
different positions he would receive the corresponding
points for that position. E.g., a player who wins two rounds
at #1 and two rounds at #2 would receive 166 + 166 + 133
+ 35 points. There is an additional limitation—although a
player’s results in multiple divisions may provide a total
greater than the maximum number of points for the lowest
division a player plays, a player’s results in different
divisions may not be combined to earn more than the
maximum number of points allowed in the highest division
the player played.
500 #1 166
400 #2 133
300 #3 100
175 #4 75
TEAM SELECTION
Each USTA Section shall have the sole responsibility for selecting team members by whatever
criteria it deems appropriate. Players must be members of the USTA through the Section for which they play. Sections are strongly encouraged to have written selection procedures.
TEAM FORMATS
75s: 2 singles and 2 doubles – the minimum number of players is 4 and the maximum
number of players for this age division teams is 6.
80s: 1 singles and 2 doubles – the minimum number of players is 4 and the maximum
number of players for this age division teams is 7.

division in doubles on the same day.

2017 USTA National Women's Intersectional Team Event
PROCEDURES FOR Women’s INTERSECTIONAL TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS (cont.)
➢ Furthermore, a player may compete in two different age divisions if eligible, under the
following team listing restraints: o For divisions with format of 3 singles/2 doubles (35-65), the top 3 singles players
cannot be double rostered. o For the divisions with format of 2 singles/2 doubles (75), the top 2 singles players
cannot be double rostered. o For the division with format of 1 singles/2 doubles (80), the top singles player
cannot be double rostered.
TEAM CAPTAINS
The sections must designate captains before the competition begins. Captain must attend the on-site Captains’ Meetings. The Captain may be a playing captain or a non-playing captain. An individual may captain more than one age group.
COMPETITION FORMAT The competition in each age category may be a compass draw, modified compass draw, or round robin. The tournament committee will determine which format to use, so that each team will play a minimum of three team matches. A team member will not be required to play more than the number of matches per day allowed for his/her age division according to the regulations for USTA Adult and Senior National Championships. In general, this means a team will play only one (1) team match per day. The referee can alter this if she/he determines that the event cannot be completed on time because of weather delays or other unforeseen circumstances.
Scoring: One point for each court win. The team with the majority of the points shall be the winner of the Team Match. All matches will be played even if a team winner has been established (time, weather, and courts permitting). A winner or “champion” team will be determined in each age category. If an overall sectional winner is to be determined, the captains will vote for one of the two following options
Option one: The section with the greatest number of individual matches won throughout the entire competition will be named the overall sectional winner.
Option two: The section with the greatest number of team matches won throughout the
entire competition will be named the overall sectional winner.

LINE-UP AND DRAW
A roster shall be submitted by the section for each team in each age category represented. Players must be listed in order of strength as singles players. All team members shall be listed on the singles roster even if they plan to play only doubles. (A doubles roster is not required.)

Seeding: A seeding committee will determine preliminary seeding prior to the captains’ meeting. All current player information (significant wins, losses, rankings) must be submitted to the tournament committee with the player information sheets in order to formulate preliminary seeding. Any questions concerning seeding will be resolved prior to the making of the draw. One team in four will be seeded; however, in an age category where there are 12 or more teams, four seeds will be allowed.
Substitutions: A substitution in the daily singles line-up may be made at the discretion of the captain. A substitute must be placed in accordance with the team rosters’ order of strength. Doubles Teams
Doubles teams are formatted at the discretion of the team captain, but must be set up in order of strength. The tournament committee has the right to review questionable doubles combinations and take appropriate action. Daily Line-ups The time frame for turning in the daily singles line-ups shall be determined by the referee and announced at the Captains’ meeting. Doubles line-ups do not have to be turned in until 15 minutes after the last singles match has been completed for that particular team match. TOURNAMENT COMMITTEE AND REFEREES MAY ISSUE APPROPRIATE PROCEDURAL
INSTRUCTIONS FOR EACH SPECIFIC EVENT. * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

The next match scheduled for that court must be ready to play as soon as the court has been swept and lined. If all players concerned do not wish to have the court swept and lined, then the next match may begin immediately. There will be no warm-up allowed while the courts are being swept and lined.
6. RELOCATION OF MATCHES;
In order to facilitate play, any match can be moved at the decision of the referee. It is even possible that matches in progress may have to be moved in order to facilitate the court maintenance schedule. If inclement weather requires it, matches may be moved to courts off site.

water carts. NOTE: players are not permitted to leave the court during a match in order to get water.
18. ATTIRE: Players must wear correct tennis attire. The Referee shall be the sole arbitrator as to the suitability of tennis attire, including shoes, worn by participants.
19. COACHING: Rule 31 applies. During play, a player can only receive coaching from one person (either Captain or designated teammate) who is at the court. The coaching may be given only when the player(s) change ends at the end of a game or during a set break, but not on end changes during a tiebreak. Coaching may be given during an authorized rest period. Coaching is not allowed during a toilet break, medical timeout, while seeking a referee, or during warm-up.
