Draw and Match Format:
Draw limits - 12 players will be accepted for each age group. If any draw is not filled up, we may try to accommodate more. Schedules and time will be determined after the registration deadline.
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 is permitted.
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 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.
Please be prepared to play anytime during the day. BG12-14 may start as late as 8pm and BG16-18 may start as late as 9:30pm.

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, Sep 28, 5:59pm EDT). Draws usually post the week of the tournament. Text Coach Ace and we will tell you the moment either one lands.
