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.
What it is worth
Levels 6 and 7 pay per match won, capped at 4 wins: up to 56 ranking points for winning the flight.
| Wins the flight (4 wins) | 56 |
| Loses the final (4 wins) | 54 |
| Two wins | 24 |
| One win | 12 |
| One consolation win | 6 |
Standings points, before bonus points for beating a ranked opponent. What a result is actually worth to your junior depends on the six results they are already counting.

Will my junior get in?

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. Levels 6 and 7 pay per match won, capped at 4 wins: up to 56 ranking points for winning the flight.
When do we know?
Selections post after entries close (Sun, Oct 11, 5:59pm EDT). Draws usually post the week of the tournament. Text Coach Ace and we will tell you the moment either one lands.
