The Texas Junior Cup
Texas CUP Invite Criteria
(AUTO BID or WILD CARD, read details below)
Texas CUP CHAMPIONSHIPS
The Championships are purely invitational. Each division will have a maximum of 25 teams (2 bids given at each of the 12 Tour Stops - see below for what happens when a team cannot accept a Bid) and will be seeded according to TXBVA Junior Rankings after last junior stop using Junior Points. The Champions in each age group will receive championship prizes.
EARNING & USING A BID
Tour Stop Winners receive one bid as a team per Tour Stop win. This is considered an AUTO Bid. The teammates must play together unless one player is unavailable (or accepts another bid to the Cup). If one teammate is unable to attend or has accepted another bid, the available player may replace her with an age- & gender-appropriate, active TXBVA player (Active refers to players who have played in a TXBVA event. No recruiting out of state playes who haven't played in a TXBVA event) The bid is always initially awarded to the first 2 places at the Tour Stop (for the right of first refusal), regardless of whether either or both of the winning players already have earned a bid.
A team that has only earned one bid between both players (i.e., won exactly one Tour Stop between both players) may not split in order to each enter the Texas Cup with a new partner, as that would be two entries and would require two bids. If the team wins two (or more) Tour Stops together, then they may elect to each accept one with a new partner.
If both teammates are unable to attend, the bid/invite will pass to a wild card players. The TXBVA office will notify the wild card team players if the bid has passed to them. Any wild card teams selected will be done using the junior ranking system of the TXBVA player in the Junior Age Division who has not yet earned a bid, and the partner of his/her choosing provided they meet the active TXBVA criteria mentioned above. The TXBVA office will notify these players once they are mathematically guaranteed a spot, typically starting 1-2 weeks before the Texas Cup.
If you earn multiple bids with different partners, you may choose whichever partner you’d like to play with, but please remember to give a courtesy notice to any winning teammates that you will not be playing with, so the he/she has ample time to find a partner.
WILD CARD BIDS
If you win a bid at a stop, you are in the Texas Cup. To be eligible for a Wild Card, you must be an active player and have current TXBVA points. If we do not fill the Texas Cup spots with auto bids, we will then default to TXBVA Points, starting with the top and working down with invites in your age group specific.
RSVPING
To accept your bid, email us with names, tour stop # place. If you are not able to accept the bid, please notify the TXBVA office as soon as possible. We will email registration starting in April.
