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.

While we may not be able to accommodate every schedule request, you are welcome to submit your requests to deeluvs10is@yahoo.com after registering your player. If we are unable to accommodate your request, your player will not be selected, and your credit card will not be charged.
Alternates: As a reminder, L7 tournament players are chosen from unranked players and bottom-up ranked players.
This tournament's selections were based on the following considerations:
1. Number of courts available
2. Staffing available during the tournament

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 7?
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 (Tue, Nov 3, 5:59pm EST). Draws usually post the week of the tournament. Text Coach Ace and we will tell you the moment either one lands.
