Draw and Match Format
Draw limits : 16 players for each of the girls and boys events. If court time allows, additional players may be taken in the event(s) that have the highest number(s) of entrants first.
Match formats:
2 out of 3 short sets (sets to 4, tiebreak at 4-4) with a 7 point tiebreak in lieu of a third set.

Anticipated Schedule
L6 Are two day events. BG12s and 16s will be played on Saturday & Sunday.
Waterfall and Seeding will be by Combined National Standing List.
If divisions are split into multiple groups (e.g. 32 players into two groups of 16 each), the groups will be waterfalled based on each player’s current combined national standing list ranking. 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 Combined National Standing List, while Round Robin Draws will not be seeded.

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 6?
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 (Sun, Oct 18, 5:59pm EDT). Draws usually post the week of the tournament. Text Coach Ace and we will tell you the moment either one lands.
