From the tournament desk
Level 5 Sweet 16 Tournaments are split into two draws of 16 in different locations. For example, one Level 5 Sweet 16 tournament may be split into two different locations where two 12u draws of 16 players may be played in two different cities. Per national regulation, players are NOT allowed to play in both draws. Players will be assessed 4 suspension points if they enter in more than one draw. The other location for this tournament is Huether Family Match Pointe in Sioux Falls, SD and will be played the weekend of December 11-13 for boys & girls. Reminder, this is considered the same tournament as the one at Huether Family Match Pointe, you cannot play in both!

Questions parents ask
Will my junior get in?
No draw is full yet. 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.
What is a Level 5?
A district-level event. Bigger draws, ranking matters for selection, points per win are higher than Level 6. Points run off the round reached, not the draw size: up to 300 ranking points for winning it.
When do we know?
Selections post after entries close (Wed, Nov 25, 4:59pm CST). Draws usually post the week of the tournament. Text Coach Ace and we will tell you the moment either one lands.
