The standards are still undergoing development and being reviewed and refined by a growing stakeholder group. Until we have a fully stable version that most stakeholders agree is complete in meeting the initial goals of the project the standards will remain in draft. We are currently aiming for a widely accepted version 1 release being available in November 2019. |

Yes - absolutely, and we already have some large tennis organisations and technology solution providers actively working with TODS today. Although the standards are still in draftchanging, we would actively encourage you to start testing and using them now and provide feedback on your experiences. We expect a highly stable Version 1.0 of the Standards to be released around November so at that point the risks of needing to do any additional work to incorporate later version refinements and additions will be greatly reduced. |

Once we have a stable Version 1 of the Standards we will begin a concerted campaign to raise awareness more widely within the sport and tennis community. However, right now we are keen to talk as many potential users of the Standards as possible and are actively seeking engagement with service providers and other key stakeholders, including all National Associations. Please get in touch with us if you would like to be more actively involved during the current development phase by emailing jake.middleton@itftennis.com |

Yes. We are continuing to test as many different draw structures as we can. Please share your tournament and draw structures and with us and we will see if the standards fit, or adapt the standards so that those structures can be represented. |

No, not at all. Underpinning the technical work is an understanding of tennis i.e. terminology, definitions, scoring methods, methods of tournament identification, draw structures. People who specialise in tennis can provide valuable input on all of these different areas. |

No. The TODS have been designed to enable the sending and receiving of any type of tennis data between any organisations or systems. The World Tennis Number project is just one user of the Standards. |
