2009 Midwest Junior Team Tennis Invitational Qualification
Visit the homepage for the Midwest Junior Team Tennis Championship
Qualification guidelines for each age division (in order of importance):
- Regular season rank (final championship not counted)
- Any player that wins the year-end Junior Grand Prix
Championship, in any flight, will get an automatic bid to participate in the
Midwest Junior Team Tennis Invitational.
- Younger players playing up in the Junior Grand
Prix will play in the youngest age divisional slot available, if he/she
qualifies in that division.
Note: This
does not mean that a Girls' 14s player will play only in that slot the entire
tournament. It simply is a position on the team.
- Positional availability - In the case where a certain spot
on the team cannot be filled, Gateway Junior Tennis - Chicago reserves the right
to make positional "exceptions". If a team position cannot be filled by
a registrant
of Gateway Junior Tennis - Chicago by the team registration deadline (determined
by the tournament committee), a player or players of choice will be added to the
lineup. This "outside" player
may be an
appropriate-leveled junior tennis player in the Chicagoland area or a "borrowed"
player from one of the participating teams in the event.
- Each team will be created according to the rankings.
The top 2 ranked players will be placed on the Red Team and the next two
qualifiers will be placed on the Blue Team. Exceptions will be made where
family
members will
be on the same team due to travel situations. In these situations, the
lower aged family members will be placed on the team where the older sibling(s)
have been assigned. The Junior Grand Prix
Champion of
any age division will be invited to play on the Blue Team.
Age Divisional Note: The Junior Grand Prix only does not offer Girls' 14s and
Girls' 16s age divisions. The Girls' 14s positions will be selected
primarily from the Girls' 15 Junior Grand Prix age division. The Girls'
16s positions will be selected primarily from the Girls' 18s Junior Grand Prix
age division. Please note that due to many players playing in multiple
divisions and skill level, discretion will be used when selection the Girls' 14s
and Girls' 16s age divisions.
