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
Points run off the round reached, not the draw size: up to 300 ranking points for winning it.
| Champion | 300 |
| Finalist | 225 |
| Semifinalist | 150 |
| Quarterfinalist | 105 |
| Round of 16 | 54 |
| Each consolation round won | 11 |
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 AND SPECTATOR BEHAVIOR:
- Only the PLAYERS or an OFFICIAL may make a call during a match. No one else may become involved in making calls or settling disputes. Only the player may request the help of an official. Any attempt by a spectator speaking to an official regarding a line call or ruling during match play may be a cause for immediate removal.
- Any spectator behavior deemed unacceptable toward a player, another spectator, or staff member is cause for immediate removal. If behavior is directed towards a player, either before, during or after a match, it could result in a suspension of that spectator's right to attend.
- Refusal to adhere to a removal request will trigger immediate enforcement of the Point Penalty System against the player with whom the spectator is associated.
• The referee/acting referee is the sole judge of unacceptable behavior... Removal is not subject to appeals.
DEFAULT NO-SHOW POLICY
Players are expected to play all matches including main draw and consolation. It is mandatory to notify the tournament director in written communication (via email) that a player needs to withdraw. Failure to notify the Tournament Director via email will receive a “Default No-Show” and 5 suspension points per the USTA Suspension Point System (USTA Regulations IV.F.)
Default for refusal to play or continue to play (for reasons other than illness, injury, or personal circumstances) will result in 5 suspension points.

Questions parents ask
Will my junior get in?
No draw is full yet. 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.
What is a Level 5?
A district-level event. Bigger draws, ranking matters for selection, points per win are higher than Level 6. Points run off the round reached, not the draw size: up to 300 ranking points for winning it.
When do we know?
Selections post after entries close (Fri, Feb 26, 4:59pm CST). Draws usually post the week of the tournament. Text Coach Ace and we will tell you the moment either one lands.
