From the tournament desk

Welcome to the SWTC L5 Flighted Boys 14 U Tennis Event.

Selections will be made off National Combined Tennis Rank then will be flighted using WTN.

Format best of 3 TB SETS with a 3rd set TB TO 10.

This is an outdoor hard court event and in the event of rain the following week will play the remaining matches.

This will be a voluntary consolation draw.

Draw type: Voluntary Consolation. A Voluntary Consolation (VC) draw, also known as Voluntary sign-up consolation, is a draw in which the losers from the main draw are fed back into another draw against players who lost in earlier rounds of the main draw (single elimination) tournament. Only players that lose their first round match or receive a Bye in the first round and lose their 2nd round match will have the ability to play the consolation. Withdrawals and walkovers are considered a win and therefore a match.

Read the rest

As per Friend at Court : A voluntary Sign-Up Consolation draw comprises all first match losers who choose to play in the draw. Only players who intend to complete the consolation should enter and will be manually added by the tournament director. At least one round of consolations will be played.

Consolation draws will not be published until ALL players 1st-round matches have been completed. The consolation will ONLY include those players that have indicated they want to play. During the registration process, players will need to answer a question, in which they will indicate to the tournament director if they will be playing the consolation or not. This information needs to be collected in advance so we can set aside the appropriate amount of court time. If you indicate you will play the consolation and don’t play, you will be penalized automatic suspension points for unsportsmanlike conduct.

Match format: Two tiebreak sets, 10-point match tiebreak at one set all; no-ad.

Selection: Top 32 singles players in each division based on the most recently published national standings list

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 5?

A district-level event. Bigger draws, ranking matters for selection, points per win are higher than Level 6.

When do we know?

Selections post after entries close (Thu, Oct 15, 5:59pm EDT). Draws usually post the week of the tournament. Text Coach Ace and we will tell you the moment either one lands.
