REPORTING SCORES - READ THIS!!!!!!!
We understand that reporting accurate scores is critical to the rating process. We go to great lengths to ensure the score is recorded accurately. However, our accuracy is dependent on the score reported by the Winner. Per Friend At Court, it is the Winner's responsibility to report the score. This means the tournament desk will only accept reporting from the Winner. Because of the rating systems, we feel the need to implement procedures for reporting. If you are the loser of a match and you are concerned the score may not be reported correctly; you should accompany the winner to the desk to report the score. We are not stating players are purposely reporting scores incorrectly. So often, players can barely remember the court they were on much less the score of a three set match. So here is how we will handle score reporting officially:
• Winners will report the score to the tournament desk immediately after the match. (Players will not be delayed by coaches or parents, or any other reason.) • Officials call in the time a match has completed, and a winner will have 5-10 minutes from that time to report to the desk and give the score. Failure to report timely, could result in Suspension Points for not following the instructions of the official.
• If the match completion time is not called in by the on-court official and the loser of the match has reported to the desk to confirm the score but the winner is not there yet, the winner will have 5 minutes to report to the desk. Failure to report timely, could result in Suspension Points for not following the instructions of the official.
• PARENTS AND COACHES – INSTRUCT YOUR PLAYER, WINNER OR LOSER, TO GO TO THE DESK IMMEDIATELY AFTER A MATCH. DO NOT DELAY THIS PROCESS!!!!

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 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 (Tue, Sep 15, 4:59pm CDT). Draws usually post the week of the tournament. Text Coach Ace and we will tell you the moment either one lands.
