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: 16
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 World Tennis Number (WTN)
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 WTN using only WTN ratings with a high confidence rating (dark blue check mark). 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 WTN rating (high confidence factor only), while Round Robin Draws will not be seeded.
Anticipated Schedule (subject to change):
Registered players must be prepared to participate both days, although a certain division could start and finish on the same day depending on draw size.
Players will be scheduled for at least 2 matches and no more than 4 matches.

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.
