How are defaults, withdrawals, walkovers, and retirements handled in the ranking system?
A default, withdrawal, or walkover where there is no score should be recorded on the player record with an asterisk (*) attached. This means that these matches do not count in the TennisRecruiting.net ranking system. If you see a “Def,” a “Wd,” or a “Wo” recorded on the player record and there is not an asterisk attached, this is a mistake and you should notify Julie Wrege. If a match has started and retirement (Ret) or default (Def) is affixed to the score, then these matches do count for ranking – except when it is a 15-0 retirement or a 1-0 retirement required by the section or district to avoid penalty points or to qualify for further endorsement.
