FLIGHTED DRAWS

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.

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 Level 5?
A district-level event. Bigger draws, ranking matters for selection, points per win are higher than Level 6.
When do we know?
Selections post after entries close (Mon, Nov 16, 2:59pm PST). Draws usually post the week of the tournament. Text Coach Ace and we will tell you the moment either one lands.
