Please read the below description for Sectional and National Eligibility
For all Florida NTRP Regional Qualifiers, self-rated (S) players may participate, but MUST achieve a USTA computer (C), tournament (T) or appealed (A) rating before being eligible to advance to the Sectional NTRP Qualifier or National NTRP Championships. In the event that a player does not achieve the eligible rating for any reason, the next eligible player/team will be invited (based on the procedure outlined in Friend at Court).
If you are a Self-Rated player, please work with your USTA Local Play Coordinator to determine a strategy for achieving a rating.
