Score format: one Superset to 6 games with a 7 point tiebreaker at 6-6. No ad scoring is permitted.

Indoors only: Format may be one short set to 4 games with a 7 point tiebreak at 4-4 (only if a player is playing at least 4 matches and there are limited courts).

Flighting and Seeding will be by Ranking

If divisions are split into multiple groups (e.g. 32 players into two groups of 16 each), the groups will be flighted based on WTN (ranking). FLIGHTING is a method of distributing players entered into an event into separate draws so that players of the same level are in the same draw and compete against each other. Seeding for Compass Draws will use each player’s current position on the Combined National Standing list, while Round Robin Draws will not be seeded.

Anticipated Schedule (subject to change):

Level 7 events are one-day events.

BG12 & BG16 will be held on Sunday, October 11th

Players will be scheduled for at least 2 matches and no more than 4 matches.

Questions parents ask

Will my junior get in?

Boys' Singles 12 & under is full; the rest have room. 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 7?

The entry point of USTA junior tennis. One or two days, local, no ranking needed to enter, and every win earns ranking points. The right first tournament.

When do we know?

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