Once selections are made no refunds will be issued.

The tournament can only accept 16 players.

A reverse selection process will be used. The lower ranked or non-ranked player will receive preference over the higher ranked player.

**SELECTIONS: Selections will be made using the USTA's Standings list from the lowest to the highest, meaning we will take the 16 lowest ranked players (Via USTA points ranking) regardless of time of registration.**

Seeding : This tournament will use the latest USTA Standing lists to determine the seeds and participants in the tournament, from the lowest to the highest.

Format : Players will be placed in a 16 player compass draw with timed rounds. If fewer than 12 players register, a round robin format may be used.

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 (Wed, Sep 16, 4:59pm CDT). Draws usually post the week of the tournament. Text Coach Ace and we will tell you the moment either one lands.
