The top 20 individuals on the Championship level standing lists in each age division at the end of the previous year MUST play in the Advanced Division. This regulation applies across all USTA Jr. Team Tennis age divisions. Any player who advances as an individual to his or her high school state tennis tournament during a previous school season MUST play in the Advanced Division. Players in South Dakota are exempt from this rule as they do not need to qualify to participate in the South Dakota State Tournament. Teams that win the Section Championship at the Intermediate level must either move up to the Advanced level as a team or disperse to form new teams at the same level for the next Championship year. The new team(s) may have no more than three (3) players (one boy and two girls or two boys and one girl) who were on the Section Championship roster. The 14 and under Intermediate Section Championship team may also remain intact, if they move up to the 18 and under Intermediate level.
