[QUOTE="Jared7, post: 2898484, member: 7831"] Here's some more detail on the new ITA Fall Circuit which will debut in 3 weeks. It'll run from 9/18 until 11/22, will be singles only, will feature limited flights of 16-32 players only and eligibility will be determined by UTR rankings. COVID protocols will be enforced. The first week's sites will be at Charlottesville, Lexington, Lawrence, Kearney, Medina, Salt Lake City, White Plains, Aurora, Orlando, Alpharetta and College Station. Obviously, the Frogs will probably be looking at A&M as a preferred destination, but that's the only Texas site and will almost certainly be oversubscribed, so maybe Lawrence or Kearney could be alternative possibilities. If only 16 or 32 players will play, that drastically limits who will be eligible, so, really, only Ali Gray and Luc Fomba and maybe another player or two will really have a chance to make a draw. Is doing it by UTR fair? Well, there aren't any current ITA rankings and the ITA cancelled the preseason rankings (usually out about now) and virtually nobody has been playing anywhere and you can't really base college tourneys on pro rankings (who also haven't been playing), so... UTR is purportedly based on ALL matches played (including pro, college and club (if they submit their results)), so it's probably the only real alternative. Teddy Paroulek and Tomas Jirousek might benefit because, prior to arriving at TCU, both were playing a lot of pro tourneys. But really, we're probably talking about the top 2 players at most schools being eligible, which means that the lower ranked players aren't going to get much action this fall. I don't have the current Frog UTR ratings (it costs money), but they'll be widely available at various free sites as these events approach, so we'll be able to figure it out. We should bear in mind that in most fall seasons, there isn't a lot of college play anyway because most players who are good enough opt to play in pro tourneys. And in the U.S., at least so far, there probably aren't going to be many ITF events, either on the Transition Tour or the Futures Tour. The Fall Circuit, basically, will be brand new and we'll just have to see how it goes. I suspect that Coach Roditi was heavily involved in the planning - he tends to have a great deal of influence in everything the ITA does. The entry deadline will be at the end of next week. [/QUOTE]
