2014 USTA Adult Tournaments In Our Region

There are two types of Adult tournaments that are sanctioned by the USTA.   

Ranking tournaments are age division events - Open, 25s, 30s, 35s, 40s, 45s, 50s, 55s, 60s, 65s, 70s, etc.  playing and winning matches in these tournaments gets you a USTA-FL ranking in the age division in which you played.  Unlike junior tournaments, you may not play up in an older age division.  You may, however, play at a younger age division at any time.  In general, these tournaments see former junior players, collegiate players, teaching pros, and players of that caliber.

NTRP Rating tournaments are exactly what they sound like - tournaments whose events are 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 5.0.   These events are designed for your recreational player.  In the 4.5 and 5.0 division you will see some cross over from the Ranking tournaments.  Any matches that are played in NTRP tournaments affects your NTRP rating. 

Listed below are all the USTA sanctioned adult tournaments held in our region (Region 1 - panhandle for the uninitiated):
