Match Format: this is a non-elimination event where players compete in a Round Robin or Compass draw format to guarantee 2-4 rounds depending on the draw size.

Score Format: 12-18U play one set to 6 with a set tiebreak at 6-6, no ad scoring; if there is a round robin group of 5 players, this division would play a short set to 4 due to players playing 4 matches

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 (Mon, Nov 30, 3:59pm MST). Draws usually post the week of the tournament. Text Coach Ace and we will tell you the moment either one lands.
