Introduction and History
In accordance with the schedule provided here, the 2020 Nationstates Tennis Tour will continue with the clay court season. This thread serves as the sign-up thread for four tournaments: Istria Open** (Tier 2), Championnats Nationaux de Reçueçn de Tennis (Tier 1), Mattijana Open (Tier 1) and the Hamilton International (Grand Slam).
Below is some tournament specific information for the four tournaments:
Sign-up procedure
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 will be always be awarded to a quarter of your entrants, rounded up, should your nation not have any eligible players in the main draw, so ensure the person you want to see playing is listed in the top one or two slots of your sign-up (note: rankings points supersede sign-up listings). Puppets must be declared - each person may control up to two nations in any tournament.
You may mix and match which athletes compete in which tournament -- that choice is up to your nation's tennis federation. We note that Tier 2 events are intended for lower ranked athletes. Sign-ups for each event will close 72 hours before an event is scheduled to start. Feel free to edit your entries in a new post up to that deadline. As always, good luck, and may the balls be in your court.
Doubles sign-ups
Nations may now submit mixed doubles pairs comprised of players from two different nations. There are no limits as to how many athletes from a particular nation is submitted into a tournament. For example, it is legal for Electrum to send four full doubles pairs in a Grand Slam, and another three athletes in mixed pairs signed up in another nation's name. It is up to nations to negotiate which players they will send, and under which nation's name. Any entries submitting mixed pairs without permission will be deleted from the draw. On the sign-up sheet, please indicate what nation the non-native player is from, e.g. Electrum would submit Sonya Gredello/Ricardo Toli (BRI).
In the tournament proper, the pair would be denoted as having a double trigram: Sonya Gredello/Ricardo Toli (ETMBRI). Both nation's roleplay contribution will contribute to the skill level of the pair, however, if both nations roleplay, then the higher scored roleplay will be added onto the skill of the mixed pair.
