This thread will be the thread where roleplays and results will be posted for the four clay court tournaments of the season. In order, these tournaments are:
- River Cities Open (Tier 2) hosted in Shinzoba, Damukuni
- Ubung Open (Tier 1) hosted in Ubung, Pemecutan
- International Tennis Trophy (Team Event) hosted in Somer, Electrum
Scorination Details
All NSTT tournaments will be scorinated on xkoranate with advantage sets. Grand slam singles tournaments will be best of five sets. All other tournaments are best of three sets. The logarithm points will be used, so that the vast inequalities in total points don't mean predictable matches. To determine the seeding and points of doubles pairings, the average of the sum of the doubles players logarithmic rankings will be used. Draws for both the singles and doubles competition will follow the normal procedures undertaken by the ITF.
All roleplays are scored, with quality over quantity emphasized. Multiple roleplays submitted on the same day will be counted as one larger whole. All players without a ranking will have a skill level equal to the lowest main draw player's logarithmic points. For doubles pairs comprised of players from two different nations, the higher scoring roleplay from both nations will be applied to the mixed pair.
Where there are more entrants than available places, a knock-out qualification round is played.
At the conclusion of each tournament, rankings are updated to reflect the new points earned by players. These points last one year/season.
