This thread will be where nations can sign-up their players for the NationStates Tennis Tour's grass court season.
Sign-up procedure
Fill the sign-up sheet with your list of players - you do not need to fill out the entire list. If it is your first time, you will also need to nominate a three letter trigram to represent your nation (e.g. Electrum - ETM). Puppets must be declared - each person may control up to two nations in any tournament.
Wild cards are awarded to the highest ranked player submitted so that each nation participates in the main draw. If players are tied, then the first named player is awarded the wild card.
Sign-ups for each event will close in accordance with the schedule below. If you need to make changes, please edit your entries in a new post before the deadline.
Doubles sign-ups
Nations can submit doubles pairs comprised of two players from their own nation or players from the submitting nation and another nation. It is up to nations to negotiate which pairs are sent under which nation's name. Any pairs that are submitted without the other nation's permission will be deleted from the draw. On the sign-up sheet, indicate what nation the non-native player is from, e.g. Electrum would submit Sonya Gredello/Ricardo Toli (BRI).
If a nation submits a pair comprised of players from two different nations, they are entitled to send one additional doubles pair (of any nationality combination) to the competition.
Both nation's roleplay contribution will contribute to the skill level of the pair, however if both nations roleplay, then only the higher scoring roleplay is added onto the skill of the mixed pair.
Sign-up sheet
The Tabeira International and The Barlinedon Championships are Tier 2 tournaments with special rules for entry. Players above 500 points, and pairs with a combined total above 1,000 points can not enter this tournament -- this tournament is intended for newcomers and lower ranked athletes.
Note: The Britonish Open (Tier 1) and The Barlinedon Championships (Tier 2) are run at the same time and players cannot compete in both singles or both doubles tournaments at the same time (they can still enter singles tournament for one and doubles for the other). For the singles, list entrants for The Britonish Open in spots 1-4 and list entrants for The Barlinedon Championships in spots 5-8. For the doubles, list entrants for The Britonish Open in spots 1-2 and list entrants for The Barlinedon Championships in spots 4-5. If you are entitled to send an additional doubles pair as you are submitting a mixed team to a tournament, add spots 3 and 6 respectively.
If your player is a grass court specialist, please denote this by adding (gcs) to the end of the player's name. They will get a small boost in the grass court season and a small penalty in the clay court season. If a player is gcs in singles they will also be a gcs in doubles as well.
