LEVEL 6 TOURNAMENT INFORMATION
PLAYER SELECTION & SEEDING
This tournament will use the most recent USTA National Standing Lists for player selection and seeding. The highest ranked entrants will be selected for the draw.

DUAL ENTRY
Please click the link if you are registered for more than one tournament on the same weekend. Dual Entry Policy
DRAW FORMAT
The tournament will mostly utilize a Compass Draw or a round Robin. Matches are best 2 of 3 short sets to 4 with a 7-point tiebreak at 4 games all and a 7-point tiebreak in lieu of a 3rd set. My goal is to give each player at least three matches; preferably, I would like them to have four matches, so that they can maximize their Usta point total. In some instances, players will play best two of three full sets with a 10 point tiebreak in the third set.
*Note that a rain delay could cause some matches to be canceled (see "Rain Delays" below)
MATCH SCHEDULE
Draws will be posted by Thursday evening. Players are responsible for checking their match times listed under the draws tab. Please arrive at least 15 minutes before your scheduled match time.
Match Times : Matchplay could start as early as 8 AM, or as late as 2 PM. In most cases, if you start at 8 AM, you would be done no later than 2 PM. And if you start at 2 PM, you would be done no later than 8 PM. ## If you have a preferred start time, please let me know before the tournament close date, and I will do my best to accommodate you.

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 (Thu, Oct 22, 4:59pm CDT). Draws usually post the week of the tournament. Text Coach Ace and we will tell you the moment either one lands.
Text Coach Ace at (213) 410-2440 with your junior's name and division. Ace keeps the file: deadline, selections, draws, and what to do the night before.
