Priority is given to teams with two ranked players. Only after all teams with two ranked doubles players have been accepted will additional teams be considered. Remaining teams will be selected based on the individual with the highest doubles ranking; with a team with two unranked doubles players being accepted last. Players must register for all doubles events with a partner.
In the event that the doubles draw doesn’t fill and at the discretion of the tournament director, any individual registrations that have timely entries into doubles may be given an additional deadline to find a registered partner. Players not successfully paired by that deadline will not be considered.
• Vacancies. A team shall constitute a doubles entry. If one accepted player in a pairing must withdraw, and the event has registered teams on the alternates list, then an alternate team shall be placed in the draw to replace the withdrawing team. If there are no registered alternate teams, the remaining partner may secure an alternate partner as long as the new partner does not impact seeding for the event and the alternate is secured in a timely manner. The Referee and Tournament Committee should keep in mind that it is generally desirable to encourage play.
• For the purpose of determining selection of teams, below is the process of calculating combined rankings and combined ranking points: • Teams will be selected and seeded in the order of their combined National Standing List using the most recently published list available at that time. Ties are broken in favor of the team with the highest ranked member. All teams not selected will be placed on Alternate Lists that are ordered using the same methods of selecting players or teams into the tournament described above.
• Players may not register for more than one age division
• Alternates. All players and teams not selected will be placed on Alternate Lists that are ordered using the same methods of selecting players or teams into the tournament described above. The Alternate Lists will be used to replace withdrawing players and teams, except that a Late Entry may not be accepted into the draw if it invalidates the seeding.

Questions parents ask
Will my junior get in?
No draw is full yet. Selection is by ranking list, so a junior with no ranking can still get in when a draw is not full, and goes on the alternate list when it is.
What is a Level 4?
USTA junior tournaments run from Level 7 (local, open to anyone) up to Level 1 (national). Lower number, stronger field, more points.
When do we know?
Selections post after entries close (Wed, Oct 21, 5:59pm EDT). Draws usually post the week of the tournament. Text Coach Ace and we will tell you the moment either one lands.
