The mess and confusion is beginning.Kevin Schmidthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05366406313485961849noreply@blogger.comBlogger2125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3806763551607679303.post-78569083841390428512022-07-27T06:14:26.994-07:002022-07-27T06:14:26.994-07:00Yes, it`appears this team is not eligible for Nati...Yes, it`appears this team is not eligible for Nationals. So even if they win Sectionals (and they have an advantage over the other teams), they won't be able to go. My guess is Southern would send the runner up to Nationals instead, but it is possible I suppose that that team is also not eligible, then what?<br /><br />This is the problem with ESLs in sections where bumped up players are allowed to keep playing. The issue is with Southern choosing to be inconsistent with the National rule and let teams play through Sectionals as is.Kevin Schmidthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05366406313485961849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3806763551607679303.post-6667655147582085942022-07-25T13:41:18.711-07:002022-07-25T13:41:18.711-07:00My team is going to Southern Sectionals in Alabama...My team is going to Southern Sectionals in Alabama- 3.5 40 plus. There is a team from Alabama that is signed up to participate that has 6/10 players as computer rated 4.0s, and strong 4.0s according to tennis record. All 6 of these now 4.0s plus an additional 2 of the 3.5s actually won the 18 plus 4.0 Alabama state championship last month. They only have 4-5 players (only 4 registered to play for sectionals) who are current 3.5s so it sounds like they couldn't go to nationals, even if they won sectionals, correct? Is it legal for them to play at sectionals?<br /><br />The crazy thing is, the went to sectionals last year and many players were bumped up to 4.0 from our NC team who played them in sectionals and lost to them, all 5 lines, and of course had to play 4.0 like every other person. <br /><br />Here is a link to their team, this roster was from when they started their league in late 2021 so they show as 3.5 but 6 are now updated on usta and tennis record as 4.0s....<br /><br />https://www.tennisrecord.com/adult/teamprofile.aspx?teamname=VCC%20-%20Mikos%2fWillis&year=2022<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
