COTECC U14 Ranking Structure
The COTECC U14 ranking system is based on tournament results across the regional circuit.
U14 Boys & Girls

Official COTECC Circuit
Players earn ranking points through eligible tournaments on the official COTECC U14 Circuit.
Combined Ranking
The final ranking considers a player’s six best singles results plus six best doubles results.
52-Week Ranking Period
Official COTECC rankings are calculated using results from the previous 52 weeks.
Understanding the COTECC Ranking System
The COTECC U14 ranking is designed to reflect a player’s performance across official regional competition rather than the result of a single tournament.
Players earn points according to their results and the grade of the tournament. As new results are added and older results leave the 52-week ranking period, a player’s total and ranking position can change throughout the season.
This means that consistent results across several COTECC events can be important for maintaining or improving a player’s position in the regional rankings.
Key point: A COTECC ranking reflects performance over time. One strong tournament can significantly improve a player’s position, but maintaining a high ranking generally requires consistent results across the circuit.
