LEVEL 5 SELECTION PROCESS
The Junior Competition Committee has voted to have the USTA So Cal staff responsible for L3 closed, L4 open & closed, and L5 selection using National Standings List (NSL) and seedings using a Computerized List Method (As of January 1, 2023, the JCC will utilize WTN as its computerized list). USTA So Cal staff will select 45 top NSL and up to 3 Wild Cards. USTA So Cal staff and Tournament Director will determine the Wild Cards. Doubles seedings will be the combined singles WTN of the two players. Ties in combined doubles WTN will be broken using combined NSL of the two players. Doubles Selection Memo
Flighted Draws
This tournament will accept a maximum of 48 players per age division and utilize the flighted draw format. Players 1-16 will be flighted into the first flight, 17-32 into the second flight, and 33-48 into the third flight based on World Tennis Number (WTN). This means there will be more level-based play within each flight. Selection will be based on National Standings List (NSL) and seeding within each flight will be by WTN. If it's not a full draw, we will split the draws evenly. For example: There are 18 players in a division. Draw A will have 9 players and Draw B will have 9 players.
WITHDRAWALS (FLIGHTED EVENTS)
If there is a withdrawal after the draw has been published, the spot will be replaced by the next alternate, assuming that the alternate does not invalidate the seeds or the draw (i.e. an alternate with a strong WTN going into a flight that is weaker than the one they would have originally gone into would invalidate the draw). If there is no alternate, the match will be coded as a walkover.

Questions parents ask
Will my junior get in?
Boys' Singles 14 & under, Boys' Singles 16 & under, Boys' Singles 18 & 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 5?
A district-level event. Bigger draws, ranking matters for selection, points per win are higher than Level 6.
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 (Mon, Jun 22, 2:59pm PDT). Draws usually post the week of the tournament. Text Coach Ace and we will tell you the moment either one lands.
