January 2012 

This October I will step down as the Iowa District President after four years - four 

wonderful years. I wanted to send out a personal thank you to the numerous organizations 

and individuals that worked hard to make tennis a priority in our district. There have been 

many changes with tennis during these four years. Let me highlight just a few but by no 

means all of them: 

· The 2011 2.5 Adult Women National League Champions was a team from Des Moines. 

· 10 and Under Tennis made it easier for kids to get into the game using the QuickStart 

format. 

· District adult league participation grew by an increase of 40%. 

· The district ran a successful CTA pilot program that strengthened existing CTAs and 

produced several new CTAs. 

· USTA national grants totaling $108,000 flowed into the district to six tennis 

organizations. 

· New for 2012: Tennis Play Days and Kid's Tennis Clubs. Look for more information. 

· Finally, the changing of the guard with the hire of Mark Blume as the district's new 

Executive Secretary. 

Be a “team player” for tennis.

IOWA DISTRICT TENNIS HALL OF FAME 

The appointed Hall of Fame Committee gathers, accepts, or procures nominations and 

supporting data regarding candidates and evaluates the merits of each. At the fall meeting of 

the Iowa Tennis Association, the Committee presents its recommendation for new members, 

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

the recommended candidate(s) is/are approved. Approval by 50%+ of eligible voters at the 

meeting is required for selection to the Hall of Fame. 

SELECTION CRITERIA --- GUIDELINES 

It seems appropriate to select 1, 2, or 3 nominees each year, although 

special circumstances might dictate none or 4+ on special occasions. 

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

to tennis in the Iowa District. They may have contributed as administrators, players, directors, coaches, or 

by other forms of service, and over a comparatively long period of time. 

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

would be unusually talented and successful over a long period of time. 

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

Player, Junior Player, Recreational Player, Family, Facility, Tournament, Official, Community Service, and 

Outstanding Contribution to Iowa Tennis. 

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

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

to selection. 

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

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

in the Iowa Net News. 

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

event in the selectee’s home area.

Year end rankings are calculated on players’ best five (5) tournaments, 

and a minimum of 4 tournaments. Doubles will follow the same ranking 

requirements of 4 tournaments and it will be an individual doubles ranking. 

Only the points in a specific age group will count towards your ranking. 

Any tournament played in the Iowa District will count towards your year 

end ranking. 

II. ITA Standings list- Standings are the current order of players at any 

given time of calculation. Singles and doubles standings will be posted 

weekly at www.iowa.usta.com. Standings will include all players who have 

accumulated at least one (1) ranking point. Standings are calculated on a 

player’s best five (5) tournament results during the previous twelve (12) 

months. The Iowa District Standings list will only include tournaments 

played in the Iowa District. Points earned in higher age divisions will count 

towards your standing in a lower age group. Player records should be 

checked periodically throughout the year. Corrections may be sent to the 

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

standing cannot be appealed. 

III. Standings and Ranking Considerations: 

A. Year end rankings and current standings will be calculated on the 

basis of the points per round system. Ranking points are those 

points that are awarded based on the points per round table in this 

book and published on the Iowa District website. 

B. The ITA will yearly review the points per round table to determine 

which tournaments shall be included in the standings and rankings, 

the relative levels of the tournaments to be included, and the 

number of points to be assigned per round for each tournament 

level. 

C. Points earned during the entire calendar year will be included in 

determining year end rankings. Points earned during the previous 

twelve (12) months will be included in determining current 

standings. 

D. Players earn points for wins in each round of a tournament, 

determined in accordance with the points per round table. 

E. If a player advances in the first round due to a default and loses the 

next round, the player will receive points for the first round win. 

F. Byes do not qualify as wins. 

G. Withdrawals, defaults, walkover, and retirements qualify as wins for 

the advancing player and points are earned for that round. 

H. A player who is defaulted from a tournament for code violations for 

misconduct forfeits any points accumulated during the tournament.

2012 Iowa Endorsement Procedure 

An Iowa endorsement tournament (Iowa District Closed) will be played in each age 

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

endorsed to play the USTA/MV Segment II Supers and to determine who will represent the 

Iowa District in the 10’s, 12’s and 14’s Team Events. 

The Endorsement tournaments will be limited to 16 players and will utilize the Missouri 

Valley Standings list to determine the participants based on entries received and the seeding 

for the events. Players must be current Iowa District USTA members to participate. It 

is mandatory that the player who earns the endorsement spot must participate in at least 

one of the 2011 Segment II Supers events in the same age division that they earned the 

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

tournament and forfeit the right to play the following year’s endorsement tournament. 

Segments I and III endorsement spot will be based on the most current Missouri 

Valley standings list at the time of entry. The Iowa District Junior Competition Committee 

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

submit your application via email to phil-iatennis@hotmail.com 30 days prior to the Super 

tournament deadline. 

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

each segment. 

If you have any questions or comments about this procedure please contact Phil 

Williams (Junior Competition Chair) at phil-iatennis@hotmail.com or 319-651-1115.

GETTING READY FOR 2012! 

AGE ELIGIBILITY - The Process of Entering a Tournament 

(and what this really means) 

ALL JUNIOR PLAYERS, competing in USTA sanctioned events, you may play an age division 

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

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

until the month in which they turn 13, 15, 17 or 19, respectively. 

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

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

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

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

in more than one age division before making this choice. 

Iowa Team Events 

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

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

The District provides coaching for each of the team events. Please see the information below for 

details about the team events:

immediate action may be filed by telephone. Until a written complaint is received, the Chairperson 

may decide only that portion of the matter that the Chairperson deems urgent. The Chairperson 

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

deems appropriate. The Chairperson shall act as soon as possible. The Chairperson may notify the 

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

request, the Vice-Chairperson shall have the same power to act. 

Any person aggrieved by the Chairperson’s action may appeal to the Emergency Grievance

of the ITA. Two members of the Emergency Grievance Appeal Board shall constitute a quorum.
