Questions parents ask
Will my junior get in?
No draw is full yet. 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 Junior Circuit?
USTA junior tournaments run from Level 7 (local, open to anyone) up to Level 1 (national). Lower number, stronger field, more points.
When do we know?
Selections post after entries close (Tue, Oct 20, 2:59pm PDT). Draws usually post the week of the tournament. Text Coach Ace and we will tell you the moment either one lands.
Text Coach Ace at (213) 410-2440 with your junior's name and division. Ace keeps the file: deadline, selections, draws, and what to do the night before.

ROUND ROBIN ORDER OF FINISH
In the event there are round robin draws, the order of finish will be determined as stated on page 73 of USTA Friend at Court :
The player who wins the most matches is the winner. If two players are tied, then the winner of their head-to-head match is the winner. If three or more players are tied, the Referee shall use the following steps in the order listed to break all ties. The Referee shall break as many ties as possible using a given step before using the next step. These steps are:
The head-to-head win-loss record in matches involving just the tied players;
The player with the highest percentage of sets won of all sets completed;
The head-to-head win-loss record in matches involving the players who remain tied;
The player with the highest percentage of games won of all games completed;
The head-to-head win-loss record in matches involving the players who remain tied;
The player with the highest percentage of sets won of sets completed among players in the group under consideration;
The head-to-head win-loss record in matches involving the players who remain tied;
The player with the highest percentage of games won of games completed among the players under consideration; and
The head-to-head win-loss record in matches involving the players who remain tied.
If the Referee has applied all the steps and a tie still cannot be broken, the Referee shall use a random drawing among the remaining tied players to determine their order of finish.
WITHDRAWALS
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 If there is no alternate, the match will be coded as a walkover.
