NTRP Tournament Age Divisions: Cold Hard Data
The USTA has announced that starting in 2021, NTRP Adult tournaments will be divided into three age tiers. The stated reason for NTRP age divisions is that it will increase participation at tournaments. In fact, the planned elimination of Mixed Doubles from NTRP tournaments was justified by projecting that the additional age tiers will create so much participation that there will no longer be courts available to accommodate Mixed.
