From the tournament desk

Get ready for the DGN tennis tournament, a USTA level 6 junior tournament designed to give players valuable match experience in a competitive and enjoyable environment. This tournament offers an amazing opportunity to compete, work on their skills and earn USTA ranking points.

In the event of inclement Weather there could be a delay in play.

Note: Rain delays could change the format for some tournaments

• No refunds will be given for rain delays. The only exception to our "no refunds after player selection" policy is in the event of a weather cancellation, as detailed below.

Weather Cancellation Refund Policy

• Canceling the tournament is a last resort. An alternate date may be chosen to make it up due to weather

Read the rest

• If the tournament is canceled before a player's first main draw match, the player will receive a refund of $15 less than the entry fee.

• If the tournament is canceled before a player's second main draw match, the player will receive a refund of 1/2 the amount and $15 less than the entry fee paid.

• No refunds are issued once a player has begun their second main draw match--even if it is interrupted before completion. Additionally, no refunds are issued for players in the consolation/ 3/4 playoff bracket at the time of cancellation.

• We truly wish we could refund the full amount when the tournament is canceled before any matchplay, but approximately $15 of each payment is sent directly to the USTA and we cannot refund that portion on our end.

This tournament will carry Level 6 points. more info.

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 (Fri, Oct 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.
