About the Prince Hot 100
The Prince Hot 100 is a list of players who are currently playing
excellent tennis and moving quickly up the rankings. These lists -
one for boys and one for girls - are updated monthly and published
in the third week of the month.
Prince Sports, Inc., and TennisRecruiting.net award points to
players for increasing their College Recruiting List ranking. Players
with the highest point totals - and whose current ranking is higher
than their ranking at any time over the previous 5 months - are placed
on the monthly Prince Hot 100 List. Players must also have a winning
player record in the month of consideration.

9x3) for improving from 53 to 50, and an additional 20 points (i.e.,
10x2) for moving from 50 to 48.
