Counts are live from USTA as of the last hour. Selection is by ranking list: a full draw still takes alternates, and unranked juniors get in when a draw is not full.
From the tournament desk
Alternates will be contacted by Friday by 6 pm if there is space for them to play. This means someone from the Main Draw has to withdraw from the tournament before this date and time. No on-site alternates will be taken on Saturday morning.
If you do not wish to be in the alternate list, please request a withdrawal through the USTA site or email me with your name, and division and I will withdraw you.

Questions parents ask
Will my junior get in?
Boys' Singles 12 & under, Boys' Singles 14 & under, Boys' Singles 16 & under, Boys' Singles 18 & under, Girls' Singles 12 & under, Girls' Singles 16 & under are full; the rest have room. 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.
Can we enter two divisions?
One event per player at this tournament. Pick the age group that matches your junior's birth year, or the one up if they are ready for it.
When do we know?
Selections post after entries close (Tue, Jan 13, 2:59pm PST). Draws usually post the week of the tournament. Text Coach Ace and we will tell you the moment either one lands.
