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 Junior Circuit?
USTA junior tournaments run from Level 7 (local, open to anyone) up to Level 1 (national). Lower number, stronger field, more points.

- In the event there are round robin draws, the order of finish will be determined as stated on page 73 of USTA Friend at Court :
- The player who wins the most matches is the winner. If two players are tied, then the winner of their head-to-head match is the winner. If three or more players are tied, the Referee shall use the following steps in the order listed to break all ties. The Referee shall break as many ties as possible using a given step before using the next step. These steps are:
• The head-to-head win-loss record in matches involving just the tied players;
• The player with the highest percentage of sets won of all sets completed;
• The head-to-head win-loss record in matches involving the players who remain tied;
• The player with the highest percentage of games won of all games completed;
• The head-to-head win-loss record in matches involving the players who remain tied;
• The player with the highest percentage of sets won of sets completed among players in the group under consideration;
• The head-to-head win-loss record in matches involving the players who remain tied;
• The player with the highest percentage of games won of games completed among the players under consideration; and
• The head-to-head win-loss record in matches involving the players who remain tied.
If the Referee has applied all the steps and a tie still cannot be broken, the Referee shall use a random drawing among the remaining tied players to determine their order of finish.
SPECTATORS
• All players and spectators must adhere to The Code. Failure to abide by guidelines outlined in Friend At Court will result in your removal from the event.
COACHING:
• Players can receive coaching in between matches (AFTER players report scores to the event scorekeeper).
• There is no coaching allowed while the player is actively playing a match. This includes the time while the point is in play, inbetween points, changeovers, bathroom breaks, etc.
SELECTION AND ALTERNATES POLICY
• Please be aware of the draw size and selection process. If draws are limited, not all players will be selected and those not selected will be placed on an alternate list. Alternates will not be charged an entry fee until they are selected into the tournament.
• Players will receive priority to play via lowest USTA ranking first (lowest ranked alternate receives highest priority to play)
• Alternates will receive an opportunity to play in the event of a player vacancy in the main draw (round robin stage) between the finalizing of the draw and the day before the event.
NOTE: If a player vacancy needs to be filled before the day of the event, the tournament director will contact alternates in the order of their USTA ranking (lowest to highest).
• On the day of the event, alternates (if they wish to still play) must attend the event in person & sign their name on an alternates sign-in sheet at the tournament desk. If players in the main draw aren't able to play, alternates that signup in person will receive highest priority to play (also based on lowest USTA ranking first).
DEFAUL NO-SHOW POLICY
• Players are expected to play all matches including round robin & playoff matches (if they qualify for playoffs). It is mandatory to notify the tournament director in written communication (via email) that a player needs to withdraw.
