Intraclub Match Play

TCSP offers intraclub match play opportunities for players looking to put their skills to the test, meet new players, and show their mettle.
 
 

New to SETS? 2 STEPS to your first SETS in the City Registration:

1. Register Monday morning through your Club Automation member portal for the following Sunday morning session. This helps ensure players show up on time and are committed to their spot on the roster.

2. The first time you join SETS in the City, you must go to the Universal Tennis website, find your profile (or create one if you do not have a free Universal Tennis account), then request to join Tennis Center Sand Point’s Digital Club.

Universal Tennis Rating

Unlike our group programs, which use NTRP ratings, we use UTR (Universal Tennis Rating) to organize our match play. More information about the benefits of UTR can be found on www.MyUTR.com. UTR takes your recent USTA scores and automatically syncs them to your profile.

Your UTR has no effect on your USTA/NTRP rating–they are completely different rating systems.
UTR is a global rating system that promotes fair and competitive play across the tennis world. All players, regardless of age, gender, geography, or skill level, are rated on the same scale between 1.00 and 16.50 based on actual match results.
 
UTR provides a real-time view of a player’s true skill level and eliminates the subjectivity when doing court assignments. UTR allows for level-based play and more competitive matches. Click Here to see How UTR Works!
UTR is an objective, results-driven rating based on 1) Strength of opponent; 2) Games won; 3) History of last 30 matches within 12 months. It does not look at wins or losses. Click here to Understand the UTR Algorithm!
Yes! Just join the UTR range which corresponds to your NTRP rating. If you don’t have an NTRP rating, please visit this page for information on how to get one.

Join the UTR Digital Club

TCSP members looking for intraclub match play opportunities should join the TCSP Digital Club (it’s free!) on the UTR platform. You can register onto by visiting this link and clicking “Request to Join”. TCSP staff will then verify you are an active TCSP member and approve your request. Note that registration for our match play events is still through your regular member portal and not through the Digital Club. We use the Digital Club to track results.
Once you are a Digital Club member, you will be able to:
 
  • Participate in future club match play events
  • Post your own scores (casual and sanctioned) to build your rating
  • Look up other player ratings.
  • Message other TCSP players through the UTR platform to find new playing partners
 
Players that have competitive playing histories from participation in USTA tournaments or recreational league play will have a UTR rating already. If you do not have a UTR rating, start posting your own scores! (Remember, you can post recreational scores: 8-game pro sets and 4-game mini sets count towards your UTR but receive slightly less weight relative to best-of-3 set matches) The more you play, the more accurate your UTR will become, and the more competitive your matches will become.
