IMPORTANT SPORTSMANSHIP REMINDERS

All players, parents, and spectators MUST sign the Mid-Atlantic ACES Pledge and players will be REQUIRED to show their Mid-Atlantic ACES Pledge digital medallions or bag tag at check in.

All participants MUST adhere to the USTA Mid-Atlantic Sportsmanship Expectations; including The Do’s and Don’ts of Good Sportsmanship and are encouraged to nominate fellow participants as Champions on and off the court!

Players are expected to play all scheduled matches.

Draw and Match Format:

Draw limits - Draws will be limited to 8 players each. If courttime allows, additional players may be taken in the event(s) that have the highest number(s) of entrants first.

Read the rest

Draws will be compass draws OR round robins depending on the number of players in each event.

Score format: one Superset to 6 games with a 7 point tiebreaker at 6-6. No ad scoring will be used.

Flighting and Seeding will be by Ranking

If divisions are split into multiple groups, the groups will be flighted based on each players’ current position on the Combined National Standing List (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:

Level 7 events are one-day events.

BG12s & 16s will play on Sunday only. Matches may be scheduled to start as early as 7:45 AM and as late as 8:00 PM. Exact times will be posted by Wednesday.

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

Refund Policy:

Players can withdraw from the tournament online at any point before the deadline. After the deadline, no refunds or credits will be provided if a player is unable to play for any reason at all. If no matches can be played due to bad weather or other unexpected circumstances, a credit for the entrance fee (minus the processing cost) will be given towards a future outdoor MATT Tennis tournament in 2025. Once a tournament starts and match play begins, no refunds or credits will be provided.

Please Be On Time!

Players should check in and be ready to play (warmed up, stretched, and used the restroom) at least 15 minutes before the start of the match. If a court is open, we will start the match as soon as possible to avoid delays later in the day!

Important Information:

Overview Notes are extremely important; please read them thoroughly! New notes may be posted during the week and weekend; please check the event website for updates, as well as confirm the start times of the next match on the draw, well in advance of your scheduled match!

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 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 19, 5:59pm EDT). Draws usually post the week of the tournament. Text Coach Ace and we will tell you the moment either one lands.
