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 95 ranking points for winning the flight.
| Wins the flight (4 wins) | 95 |
| Loses the final (4 wins) | 90 |
| Two wins | 40 |
| One win | 20 |
| One consolation win | 10 |
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.

Player's Promise
“I recognize that tennis is a sport that places the responsibility for fair play on me. I promise to abide by the rules of the game, which require me to give the benefit of the doubt to my opponent. At all times I shall strive to compete with the true spirit of sportsmanship, recognizing that my behavior on the court is a direct reflection of my character.

USTA NORTHERN SPECTATOR POLICY
No other sport allows umpire/official/spectator communication, whether it be about a ruling or any other facet of a sports event. TENNIS IS NOT AN EXCEPTION. Being a parent, coach, etc. does not endow special privileges. With the only exception of the right to remove their own child from competition, at any time, a parent, friend or coach is merely a spectator. Coaching, interjection into a match, audible obscenities, physical confrontation or verbal confrontation deemed to be threatening or disruptive by a coach, spectator, friend or parent is unacceptable in USTA Northern and will not be tolerated.
Check-in
Players should check-in at least 20 minutes prior to each of their scheduled match times. A tournament shirt and player gift will be provided at your initial check-in. Check-in is at the tournament desk located in the 2nd floor tennis viewing area.
