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
Levels 6 and 7 pay per match won, capped at 4 wins: up to 95 ranking points for winning the flight.
| Wins the flight (4 wins) | 95 |
| Loses the final (4 wins) | 90 |
| Two wins | 40 |
| One win | 20 |
| One consolation win | 10 |
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.

Due to insufficient numbers of entrants for doubles, we are only having 3 divisions of doubles: G16, B12 and B16s.
Our top priority during this weekend is for the safety of the players but they must also hydrate throughout the weekend and not only during their matches. Start drinking water all day on Friday so you are ready. Also, when you are off court, please find a cool place to rest.

Court assignments: Clay courts: G12, B16; Hard courts: G14, G16, G18, B12, B14, B18. Doubles have been assigned to available courts. Please realize that we hope to adhere to the above assignments throughout the weekend but in case of weather delays, the referee reserves the right to assign matches as courts become available so if you are a player who uses different shoes for different surfaces, please bring both kinds of shoes.
IMPORTANT: Water coolers will be available near the courts but each player needs to bring large water bottles, coolers, etc. as well as sports drinks to keep well-hydrated.
All withdrawals need to be emailed to the referee at lsandusky@bellsouth.net. The Tournament Director will be on court teaching throughout the day all week and may not see emails until evening. After tournament starts, you also need to email referee to withdraw.
