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.

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. Montgomery County Family YMCA Located in Red Oak

I. Year End Ranking Requirements- Year end rankings are the final ranking of players for any given calendar year. A singles player or doubles team may achieve a year end Iowa District Ranking by participating in a minimum of 4 tournaments in the Iowa District with one (1) win. 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 [email protected] 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 [email protected] or 319-651-1115.

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:
