How to Qualify for NTRP Nationals

The NTRP National Championships for 2025 will have singles and doubles events for three age divisions: 18+, 40+ and 55+. New as of 2024, a Mixed doubles pilot event will continue to be offered for 18+. Qualification for the NTRP Nationals is based on section quota and position on the national ranking list. Up to one (1) player (or team) from Mid-Atlantic will be selected in each division. Additional participants may be selected based on overall registrations. All players must register for the event and appear on the respective age division/NTRP Ranking list at the time registration closes to be considered for selection. Players may play in any open USTA events, regardless of section, in order to earn a ranking.

2025 NTRP Nationals Selection Criteria

 

Up to one (1) Mid-Atlantic players or teams will be selected for each division. Additional participants may be selected based on overall registrations. Players MUST be USTA MA Members in good standing. 

 

Eligibility Requirements:

The NTRP Championships are based on a player's 2025 NTRP Rating.

• Players may have been bumped up for 2025. They are eligible for their NEW NTRP and will play in their new 2025 NTRP Rating.

• If a player is Double Bumped, the player must play in the new double bumped level (ie 3.0 bumped to 4.0 must play 4.0). 

• SELF RATED PLAYERS ARE NOT ELIGIBLE. A player must have a computer rating.

  • Players must have a valid NTRP (C, A, T, or D) at the time of entries closing. Players with a valid Mixed Exclusive (M) Rating may use this rating for Mixed Doubles only. Players with a Self (S) rating will not be accepted. If a player with a T or M rating is required to Self Rate to play in USTA League, these players may still register if their T or M rating was valid when they self rated. 

• Players who turn the minimum age of their age group in 2025 must be of that minimum age prior to the first day of the month during which any event in the tournament is scheduled to start in order to be eligible for the 2025 NTRP National Championships.

Registration: 

• Players MUST register by entry deadline to be considered for selection. 

 

• A player MUST be ranked on the respective age/NTRP division ranking list at the time registration closes. Players who do not appear on the rankings lists will not be selected.

 

• New for 2025, the combined National Standing of a doubles team registering for NTRP Nationals will be prioritized. Ex: If the number 5 and 10 from the Mid-Atlantic Sign up together, they would be prioritized for selection before the number 2 and 20 if they also signed up together. 

   

Please note that beginning in 2023, USTA MA committed to offering at least one event in each of the divisions in order to support rankings in these divisions. All players will be required to appear on the respective age division/NTRP 2025 Ranking  at the time registration closes to be considered for selection to the 2025 NTRP Championships.
