FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)
General Event Information
Q. What is UTR?
UTR stands for Universal Tennis Rating. It is a global system that measures player skill levels on a 16-point scale. College coaches use UTR as a major factor in recruiting decisions. While important, UTR is not the only consideration — coaches also review tournament records, competition history, and academic achievements.
-
The UTR algorithm uses a player’s last 30 eligible matches in the last 12 months.
-
After as little as two UTR-verified matches, the algorithm can estimate your level with high accuracy.
-
All U.S. college matches are UTR-verified; players accumulate robust UTR data throughout college seasons.
