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
Selections have been completed for this weekend's tournament. Friday doubles draws and schedule will be published Wednesday evening. Saturday and Sunday draws and match times will be published Thursday morning by 11:00.
Because of the huge turnout, we will be using 2 sites this weekend:
Park Road Park (main site) and Jeff Adams Tennis Center.
Each site will have a physical tournament desk. We will not be using Match Tennis App for this tournament.
Sites are about 10 minutes apart.
Tshirts:

Players who registered before Monday, August 31: we have your requested size
Players who registered Monday August 31 or later: we will have a selection of extra tshirt sizes. Tshirt sizes will be first come first served. We cannot guarantee we will have your preferred tshirt size. Also, because of the extremely high number of last minute registrations, we cannot guarantee that we won't run out of tshirts; we ordered tshirts based on anticipated numbers; actual numbers far exceeded anything we could have expected. We apologize in advance if we don't have a tshirt for you.
Doubles MAY begin play no earlier than Friday at 5:00pm. If you sign up to play doubles, you must be available to play Friday.
Singles will be played Saturday and Sunday only.
Main site will be Park Road Park. Depending on how many players we have, we MAY use additional sites (Jeff Adams and/or Marion Diehl).
Withdrawals before registration closes must be done by the player:

Questions parents ask
Will my junior get in?
Boys' Singles 14 & under, Boys' Singles 16 & under, Boys' Singles 18 & 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.
When do we know?
Selections post after entries close (Mon, Sep 7, 5:59pm EDT). Draws usually post the week of the tournament. Text Coach Ace and we will tell you the moment either one lands.
