Counted within the last hour. Selection runs off the ranking list when entries close, and it runs differently at different levels, so whether a junior gets in depends on where they sit in this field. Add their USTA ID and we will tell you.
Will my junior get in?
The ID is on your junior's USTA account. We look up their published standing, read it against this tournament's entry count and its selection rule, and tell you where that leaves them. We never ask for a name and USTA never sends us one.
What it is worth
Levels 6 and 7 pay per match won, capped at 4 wins: up to 95 ranking points for winning the flight.
| Wins the flight (4 wins) | 95 |
| Loses the final (4 wins) | 90 |
| Two wins | 40 |
| One win | 20 |
| One consolation win | 10 |
Standings points, before bonus points for beating a ranked opponent. What a result is actually worth to your junior depends on the six results they are already counting.

Draw and Match Format:
Draw limits: 8
Read the rest
Draws will be compass draws OR round robins depending on the number of players in each event.
Score format: 2 out of 3 short sets (sets to 4, tiebreak at 4-4) with a 7 point tiebreak in lieu of a third set. No ad Scoring is permitted.
Waterfall and Seeding will be by Ranking
If divisions are split into multiple groups (e.g. 32 players split into two groups of 16 each), the groups will be waterfalled based on each players’ current position on the Combined National Standing List. WATERFALL is a method of distributing players into separate draws so that each draw or team is of similar overall strength. 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.
