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 4?
USTA junior tournaments run from Level 7 (local, open to anyone) up to Level 1 (national). Lower number, stronger field, more points.

Selections post after entries close (Thu, Dec 31, 5:59pm EST). 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.

🧭 Standards of Contact
All participants—including players , parents , coaches , officials , and tournament organizers —are expected to uphold the highest standards of:
• ✅ Proper conduct
• 🎾 Fair play
• 🤝 Good sportsmanship
Everyone involved has a duty to avoid any behavior that may be considered detrimental to the game of tennis , as outlined in Friend At Court USTA Regulation IV. C. Standards of Conduct .
📘 Players Must Follow The Code
Players are responsible for knowing and following The Code , which governs fair and respectful behavior on court.
🛡️ Safe Play Policy
USTA’s Safe Play Policy protects the well-being of all participants. Parents and players should review the highlights here .
🕒 Reporting to Court & Match Check-in
⏰ First Match of the Day – “Shotgun Start” All players scheduled for the first match of the day must be ready to play 15 minutes before their match time . We will call players to their courts 15 minutes prior, and matches will begin promptly at the time listed on the draw .
🚫 Don’t Delay at the Desk Please do not wait until the last minute to head to your court. This often backfires and can result in a late penalty . Avoid crowding the tournament desk—be proactive and respectful of everyone’s time.
📱 Match Check-In via Match Tennis App We will be using the Match Tennis App for match check-in.
• Be ready 15 minutes before your scheduled match time .
• You’ll receive a text message with your court assignment .
• Proceed directly to your assigned court —officials will have balls waiting for you.
📝 Reporting Scores — Read This!
Accurate score reporting is critical to the rating system , and we take it seriously. While we know players aren’t intentionally reporting scores incorrectly, memory lapses—especially after long matches—can lead to errors. Here's how we’ll handle score reporting:
✅ IMMEDIATE SCORE ENTRY REQUIRED
• Both players must report the score in Match Tennis App immediately after the match. No delays due to coaches, parents, or other distractions.
• Officials will call in the match completion time. The winner has 5–10 minutes from that time to enter the score. Failure to report promptly may result in Suspension Points .
• If the official does not call in the match time and the loser reports first , the winner has 5 minutes to enter the score. Again, late reporting may result in Suspension Points .
• Parents & Coaches: Instruct your player— win or lose —to report the score immediately . ⛔ Do not delay this process!
🔁 CONFIRMATION & DISPUTES
• The loser can confirm the score in Match Tennis App.
• If there’s a discrepancy: • Both players must report to the tournament desk.
• If no agreement is reached, the Referee will assist .
• Once a score is entered online: • The loser may email the tournament to question it.
• We will refer to the score reported by the winner in the app.
• For chaired matches, we use the official scorecard .
🚫 SCORE CHANGES & CONDUCT
• Scores will not be changed unless the winner reports a correction that benefits the loser.
• If the loser confirmed the score immediately after the match, the winner cannot later change it in their own favor.
• Repeated issues with score reporting may result in Unsportsmanlike Conduct penalties.
• We will not track down scores hours or days later. If it matters to you, report it immediately .
🙏 RESPECT THE PROCESS
Score reporting has become a contentious issue , leading to frustration and unnecessary conflict. Let’s make it a normal part of the game , just like deciding who serves.
Winners: Don’t be offended if your opponent wants to confirm the score. 🎯 Every game matters—and they just want credit for their hard work.
Play in all matches is governed by Friend at Court , the USTA Code; USTA Southern Rules; USTA Southern Tournament Regulations, with the current USTA Point Penalty System in effect for all matches.
Level 4 Flighted Draws:
All USTA Southern Level 4 non-team events will Select 64 Players and flight into 4 – 16 Draws. Please see the document for information about Flighted Draws.

Players may register for two age divisions in Level 3 Closed, Level 4 Open/Closed tournaments. Players that do register for both divisions will automatically be selected in the older division if they are selected for both. Players not selected to either division will remain on both alternate lists for both divisions but will need to play the division they first get into from the alternate lists. They will be removed from the Alternate list in the other division. Once a player is selected for any one division, NO CHANGES CAN BE MADE.
YOU MUST PLAY THE SAME AGE DIVISION FOR SINGLES AND DOUBLES:
Per STA rules for all National Level 3-5's, you must play the same doubles division as your chosen singles division.
