Subsidized Time arrives; the O.N.A.N.T.A. computer ranks him #1

pivotal · YW (2002), spring

• When: YW (Year of the Whopper, 2002), Clipperton's "eighteenth summer" — the inception of Subsidized Time; his six championships "that spring"
• What: With the erection of O.N.A.N. and the U.S.T.A.'s conversion to the O.N.A.N.T.A., a Mexican systems analyst who "knew from exactly zilch except for crunching raw results-data" took over the ranking center in Forest Lawn NNY and didn't know enough not to score Clipperton's string of six major junior-tournament championships as sanctioned and real. The first issue of the trilingual North American Junior Tennis lists one E. R. Clipperton, Home Town "Ind.," ranked #1 in Boys' Continental 18-and-Unders — the legitimated #1 he had supposedly been holding himself hostage for all along.
