In accordance with the provisional schedule provided here, the 2020 Nationstates Tennis Tour will start with the outdoor hard court season. This thread serves as the sign-up thread for three tournaments: The Electrum Slam (Grand Slam), Kinterten (Tier 1) and the Steinigestrasse Open** (Tier 2).
Below is some tournament specific information for each of the three tournaments:
**The Steinigestrasse Open is a Tier 2 tournament, which will have special rules for entry. Players above 500 points can not enter this tournament -- this tournament is reserved for newcomers and athletes who have not performed well in the previous two tournaments. What exactly this threshold is will be given at a later point in time.
To sign up, fill the sign-up sheet with your list of players - all nations, new and old are welcome. You will also need to nominate a three letter trigram to represent your nation (e.g. Electrum - ETM). You do not need to fill out the entire list. Wild cards may be awarded to the top few slots of each entry, so ensure the person you want to see playing is listed in the top few slots of your sign-up. Puppets must be declared - each person may control up to two nations worth of players.
You may mix and match which athletes compete in which tournament -- that choice is up to your nation's tennis federation. Sign-ups for each event will close 48 hours before an event is scheduled to start. Feel free to edit your entries as necessary up to that deadline. As always, good luck, and may the balls be in your court.
