Points will be awarded based on the order of finish in each age group. There are cases where age groups may need to be combined in order to facilitate a tournament. In the event a team plays in an older age group, ranking points will be awarded to the age group they initially registered for. Teams playing up in an age group will earn the greater of either their points in the new age group or their points in relation to the other teams who also played up. If only one team has to play up into an older age group, they will earn first-place points, regardless of where they finish in the event.

 

For example, Bill & Ted signed up for the 12U Philly open, but due to participation levels the tournament director combined the B12U and B15U. If Bill & Ted finished in 3^rd place overall, they would earn 12 points. However, if they finished ahead of all the other 12U players who also played up, they would earn 20 points (first-place points). 

APTA Year End Doubles Rankings will be based on a team's best two results.
