7. How are matches scored and reported to UTR?

All scores are entered by the Tournament Director within 48 hours and will be reflected in your UTR profile. Each match is Verified UTR rated.

8. Who will I or my child play?

We match players based on their UTR rating, experience, and playing style to ensure competitive, level-based matches. Our goal is to create balanced pairings where each player is challenged but not overwhelmed. If your child is new or unrated, we use your input and prior match history to find the best fit. Juniors will only be paired with adults in rare cases where the skill levels are clearly aligned—and only with prior consent from both parties

9. Who do I contact for issues/questions?
