MATCH SCORING/DRAW SIZE
Match Scoring and Draw Format are dependent on the number of players in each division. The goal of the tournament is to have at least 3 matches scheduled for the winner of each division. The match scoring could be short sets, full sets, 2 out of 3 short sets with a tiebreaker to 7 points or timed matches. The short set and full set option also counts fully for WTN. All players will be scheduled to play at least 3 matches if there are 4 or more players in a division. The draw format could be Round Robin, Round Robin with Playoff, or Compass Draw.
CHECKING-IN
Players must check-in before each match no later than their match time (not just their first match). Players need to be ready to play when they check-in as they could start play at any time after checking-in. Also both players should report the scores for each match immediately after the match.

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 (Mon, Oct 19, 5:59pm EDT). Draws usually post the week of the tournament. Text Coach Ace and we will tell you the moment either one lands.
