January <strong>2013</strong><br />

Greetings <strong>Iowa</strong> District Tennis Members,<br />

This past year, I was asked to serve again as <strong>Iowa</strong> District President, and did so. My<br />

previous terms were 1991-1994, and 1997-1998. I would like to say that this will definitely<br />

be my last term. That being said, quite a few changes have occurred, including three<br />

National logos, the most recent, a shield, above. In addition, <strong>com</strong>puters have entered every<br />

phase of the sport: for rankings, for ratings (NTRP), for websites, and for publications,<br />

among other facets of this gem, the <strong>USTA</strong>.<br />

My goals are as follows:<br />

• To find and secure my replacement<br />

• To encourage play<br />

• To encourage volunteerism within the organization<br />

• To expand <strong>com</strong>munication among members<br />

I would hope that tennis, which is growing nationally, will also grow in <strong>Iowa</strong>. Please call<br />

or e-mail me and other ITA officials (that information is on a separate page) if you have<br />

questions or suggestions, and if possible try to attend the annual and semi-annual meetings<br />

to familiarize yourself with the organization and the processes, and to be<strong>com</strong>e involved in<br />

some way.<br />

Yours in tennis,<br />

IOWA DISTRICT TENNIS HALL OF FAME<br />

The appointed Hall of Fame Committee gathers, accepts, or procures nominations and<br />

supporting data regarding candidates and evaluates the merits of each. At the fall meeting of<br />

the <strong>Iowa</strong> Tennis Association, the Committee presents its re<strong>com</strong>mendation for new members,<br />

if any. A secret ballot by those entitled to vote at the meeting determines whether or not<br />

the re<strong>com</strong>mended candidate(s) is/are approved. Approval by 50%+ of eligible voters at the<br />

meeting is required for selection to the Hall of Fame.<br />

SELECTION CRITERIA --- GUIDELINES<br />

It seems appropriate to select 1, 2, or 3 nominees each year, although special circumstances might dictate<br />

none or 4+ on special occasions.<br />

The ITA Hall of Fame is meant to honor those few individuals who have made outstanding contributions<br />

to tennis in the <strong>Iowa</strong> District. They may have contributed as administrators, players, directors, coaches, or<br />

by other forms of service, and over a <strong>com</strong>paratively long period of time.<br />

We recognize good players with annual rankings and Player of the Year awards. A Hall of Fame player<br />

would be unusually talented and successful over a long period of time.<br />

We make a group of annual awards to honor special achievements in specific categories such as Adult<br />

Player, Junior Player, Recreational Player, Family, Facility, Tournament, Official, Community Service, and<br />

Outstanding Contribution to <strong>Iowa</strong> Tennis.<br />

The Hall of Fame takes note of special qualities of leadership, longevity, wisdom, etc. Being an officer of<br />

the ITA is valuable service to tennis and may be a factor, but should not be considered an automatic road<br />

to selection.<br />

The Committee is expected to consider persons of various ages, varying periods of activity, a variety of<br />

types of service, and from all areas of the state. This summary of criteria should be published periodically<br />

in the <strong>Iowa</strong> <strong>Net</strong> <strong>News</strong>.<br />

Proper recognition of a selection should be given at the spring meeting of the ITA or at an appropriate<br />

event in the selectee’s home area.<br />

during the year with a <strong>com</strong>petitive year end championship.<br />

These tournaments will be used to determine the “Super Six” year end ranking.<br />

Must play in at least 3 of 6 tournaments that offer specific divisions to be eligible<br />

Junior Rankings and Standings Regulations<br />

I. Year End Ranking Requirements- Year end rankings are the final<br />

ranking of players for any given calendar year. A singles player or doubles<br />

team may achieve a year end <strong>Iowa</strong> District Ranking by participating in<br />

a minimum of 4 tournaments in the <strong>Iowa</strong> District with one (1) win.<br />

Year end rankings are calculated on players’ best five (5) tournaments,<br />

and a minimum of 4 tournaments. Doubles will follow the same ranking<br />

requirements of 4 tournaments and it will be an individual doubles ranking.<br />

Only the points in a specific age group will count towards your ranking.<br />

Any tournament played in the <strong>Iowa</strong> District will count towards your year<br />

end ranking.<br />

II. ITA Standings list- Standings are the current order of players at any<br />

given time of calculation. Singles and doubles standings will be posted<br />

weekly at www.iowa.usta.<strong>com</strong>. Standings will include all players who have<br />

accumulated at least one (1) ranking point. Standings are calculated on a<br />

player’s best five (5) tournament results during the previous twelve (12)<br />

months. The <strong>Iowa</strong> District Standings list will only include tournaments<br />

played in the <strong>Iowa</strong> District. Points earned in higher age divisions will count<br />

towards your standing in a lower age group. Player records should be<br />

checked periodically throughout the year. Corrections may be sent to the<br />

ITA office at any time, but must be received no later than December 10. A<br />

standing cannot be appealed.<br />

III. Standings and Ranking Considerations:<br />

A. Year end rankings and current standings will be calculated on the<br />

basis of the points per round system. Ranking points are those<br />

points that are awarded based on the points per round table in this<br />

book and published on the <strong>Iowa</strong> District website.<br />

B. The ITA will yearly review the points per round table to determine<br />

which tournaments shall be included in the standings and rankings,<br />

the relative levels of the tournaments to be included, and the<br />

number of points to be assigned per round for each tournament<br />

level.<br />

C. Points earned during the entire calendar year will be included in<br />

determining year end rankings. Points earned during the previous<br />

twelve (12) months will be included in determining current<br />

standings.<br />

D. Players earn points for wins in each round of a tournament,<br />

determined in accordance with the points per round table.<br />

E. If a player advances in the first round due to a default and loses the<br />

next round, the player will receive points for the first round win.<br />

F. Byes do not qualify as wins.<br />

G. Withdrawals, defaults, walkover, and retirements qualify as wins for<br />

the advancing player and points are earned for that round.<br />

H. A player who is defaulted from a tournament for code violations for<br />

misconduct forfeits any points accumulated during the tournament.


<strong>2013</strong> <strong>Iowa</strong> Endorsement Procedure<br />

An <strong>Iowa</strong> endorsement tournament (<strong>Iowa</strong> District Closed) will be played in each age<br />

division. The objective is to determine the one (1) player in each age division that will be<br />

endorsed to play the <strong>USTA</strong>/MV Segment II Supers and to determine who will represent the<br />

<strong>Iowa</strong> District in the 10’s, 12’s and 14’s Team Events.<br />

The Endorsement tournaments will be limited to 16 players and will utilize the Missouri<br />

Valley Standings list to determine the participants based on entries received and the seeding<br />

for the events. Players must be current <strong>Iowa</strong> District <strong>USTA</strong> members to participate. It<br />

is mandatory that the player who earns the endorsement spot must participate in at least<br />

one of the 2011 Segment II Supers events in the same age division that they earned the<br />

endorsement spot. Players who fail to do so will lose all points accrued at the endorsement<br />

tournament and forfeit the right to play the following year’s endorsement tournament.<br />

Segments I and III endorsement spot will be based on the most current Missouri<br />

Valley standings list at the time of entry. The <strong>Iowa</strong> District Junior Competition Committee<br />

(IDJCC) reserves the right to review wildcard applications for segments I and III. Please<br />

submit your application via email to phil-iatennis@hotmail.<strong>com</strong> 30 days prior to the Super<br />

tournament deadline.<br />

*Please note that starting in 2011 each district will now receive 1 endorsement spot for<br />

each segment.<br />

If you have any questions or <strong>com</strong>ments about this procedure please contact Phil<br />

Williams (Junior Competition Chair) at phil-iatennis@hotmail.<strong>com</strong> or 319-651-1115.<br />

GETTING READY FOR <strong>2013</strong>!<br />

AGE ELIGIBILITY - The Process of Entering a Tournament<br />

(and what this really means)<br />

ALL JUNIOR PLAYERS, <strong>com</strong>peting in <strong>USTA</strong> sanctioned events, you may play an age division<br />

until the month in which you age up, or, in other words, until your birthday month. This means that<br />

players who are 12, 14, 16 or 18 years old may continue, to play in their 12, 14, 16 or 18 age division<br />

until the month in which they turn 13, 15, 17 or 19, respectively.<br />

For example: A player who turns 15 in October, may play in the 14-and-under age up to and through<br />

September 30. Starting October 1, this player must play in the 16-and-under age division.<br />

As in the past, you may also elect to play in an older age division before you are required to do so.<br />

However, it is IMPORTANT that you consult your Section’s rulings to be certain of your eligibility<br />

in more than one age division before making this choice.<br />

<strong>Iowa</strong> Team Events<br />

The Missouri Valley Section holds team events in the 10’s, 12’s & 14’s age groups. The <strong>Iowa</strong> District<br />

Teams will be determined by the order of finish in the Endorsement Tournaments for each age group.<br />

The District provides coaching for each of the team events. Please see the information below for<br />

details about the team events:<br />

Grievance Procedures - continued<br />

After receiving the written request for such a review, the Executive Board shall promptly review<br />

the findings of fact and the decision of the Grievance Committee. The Executive Board shall not<br />

be required to hold any hearing and its decision may be based entirely on the finding of fact of the<br />

Grievance Committee. However, the Executive Board may hear further testimony and receive such<br />

further evidence as it, in its absolute discretion, deems appropriate. The Executive Board shall have<br />

the power to affirm, modify, or reject the decision of the Grievance Committee, but may not impose<br />

any harsher penalties.<br />

Following its review, the Executive Board shall promptly notify the person penalized of its<br />

decision by certified mail. The decision of the Executive Board shall be final and binding, unless<br />

the penalized person is granted an appeal before the MVTA or <strong>USTA</strong> Grievance Committees, and<br />

the penalty imposed under the ITA Grievance Procedures is modified or reversed by the MVTA or<br />

<strong>USTA</strong> Grievance Committees.<br />

j. Emergency Grievance Procedure. Complaints that the Chairperson deems to require<br />

immediate action may be filed by telephone. Until a written <strong>com</strong>plaint is received, the Chairperson<br />

may decide only that portion of the matter that the Chairperson deems urgent. The Chairperson<br />

shall act on the basis of such investigation as the Chairperson, in his or her absolute discretion,<br />

deems appropriate. The Chairperson shall act as soon as possible. The Chairperson may notify the<br />

parties involved of his or her decision by telephone. In the Chairperson’s absence, or at his or her<br />

request, the Vice-Chairperson shall have the same power to act.<br />

Any person aggrieved by the Chairperson’s action may appeal to the Emergency Grievance<br />

Appeal Board. This Board is <strong>com</strong>posed of the President of the ITA and two of the Vice-Presidents<br />

of the ITA. Two members of the Emergency Grievance Appeal Board shall constitute a quorum.<br />

The aggrieved person may appeal to the Board by telephone to the President of the ITA. If the<br />

President is unavailable, then the aggrieved person may appeal by telephoning any member of the<br />

Emergency Grievance Appeal Board. The Board may meet in person, by telephone conference call,<br />

or by a series of telephone calls. The Board shall act on the basis of such investigation as it, in its<br />

absolute discretion, deems appropriate. The Board shall have the power to modify, affirm, or reject<br />

the Chairperson’s decision. The Decision of the Board shall be final.<br />

k. Effective Date of Disciplinary Action. Actions taken under the Emergency Grievance<br />

Procedure shall be effective as soon as the decision of the Chairperson, or in the case of an appeal,<br />

the decision of the Emergency Grievance Appeal Board, is rendered.<br />
