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.

Warm Up
Players will warm up for up to 10 minutes with their opponent before their first round match. Rounds 2 and on will not have warm ups.
Scoring
During each 30 minute round, players will play a 6-game no-ad scoring set. Each match will be completed when either the set has been finished, or 30 minutes have elapsed, whichever happens first. If the set is still continuing when time is called, players will finish the game they are currently on. If this results in a tie, a 2/3 point tiebreaker will be played to determine the winner.

Important Note About Location
If participating, please make sure that you arrive at Life Time Burr Ridge Sport and Racquet, located at 6901 S. Madison Street, Burr Ridge, Illinois. Do not arrive at nearby Life Time Burr Ridge, which is a different club.
Due to ongoing renovations, the viewing area for courts 5-8 is currently off limits. We are hoping this area will be finished and open in time for the tournament. In the event that it is still closed, we will do our best to make sure players have matches on both courts 1-4 and courts 5-8 to ensure parents are able to view some of the rounds.
