Please visit the USTA’s online Searchable Schedule for the most up-to-date and official National Calendar.

OVERVIEW OF THE NATIONAL JUNIOR TOURNAMENT SCHEDULE

The USTA sanctions six different types of national tournaments designed for not only the top level juniors in the country, but also those who have achieved some success in their Sectional Association and desire to enter tournaments where they can play juniors from other parts of the country. • USTA National Championships • USTA National Opens • USTA Team Championships

• USTA Regional Tournaments • USTA International Tournaments The USTA also selects certain ITF Tournaments to appear on the National Junior Tournament Schedule. All of the tournaments on the National Junior Tournament Schedule, as well as up to 12 tournaments designated by each USTA Sectional Association, count for national junior ranking. Collectively, these

tournaments are called “National Ranking Tournaments.” Each year the USTA designates a ranking level for each of the National Ranking Tournaments that corresponds to the ranking points earned by winning rounds at

these tournaments. Level designations appear next to each tournament listed in the Calendar of National Tournaments beginning on page 16. Results from up to 6 singles National Ranking Tournaments and up to 6 doubles National Ranking Tournaments count toward national ranking. A full description of the national points per round combined ranking system can be found on the USTA website. Go to www.USTA.com and click on Youth Tennis/Junior Competition. Once on the Junior Competition page, click on Contact Us in the right

navigation bar. Alternatively, click on the link below. http://www.usta.com/Youth-Tennis/Junior-Competition/Ranking/

NATIONAL STAFF & VOLUNTEER DIRECTORY

The USTA posts an up-to-date directory of its national Junior Competition staff and volunteers on its website. Go to www.USTA.com and click on Youth Tennis/Junior Competition.

USTA ANTI-DOPING PROGAM

The USTA is committed to ensure fair and drug-free competition. Individual athletes bear the ultimate responsibility to choose for themselves to compete fairly and drug-free. Participation in USTA tournaments constitutes consent to be tested for drugs. Use of banned substances and doping methods is cheating and may result in penalties including suspension and permanent disqualification. The USTA has developed a

program of education, testing, research, penalties, and rehabilitation. The Board has adopted and supports the USTA Program of Drug Education, Testing, and Penalties. Information about this program is available on the USTA website. Go to www.USTA.com and click on Improve Your Game/Sports Science. Once on the Sports Science page, click on Drug Education in the right navigation bar. Alternatively, click on the link below. http://www.usta.com/Improve-Your-Game/Sport-Science/110784_Drug_Education/

USTA AGE ELIGIBILITY

MONTH OF BIRTH AGE ELIGIBILITY: The USTA uses a “month of birth” age eligibility rule for junior

players competing in USTA sanctioned tournaments. This rule applies to all local, District, Sectional, and National USTA sanctioned tournaments – it does not apply to USTA International Tournaments and ITF Tournaments (see “USTA International Tournaments & ITF Tournaments” on page 12). Junior players may

continue to play in the 12, 14, 16 and 18 age divisions until the month they turn 13, 15, 17, or 19, respectively. Players should use the starting date of a tournament to determine eligibility when a tournament begins in one month and ends in the next.

SETTING GOALS: All junior players are responsible for setting their own competitive goals and meeting the requirements for tournaments, ranking, and endorsement.

PLANNING AHEAD: All junior players should plan ahead and consult their parents, coaches, or their Sectional Office to help them decide which age group is best for them to play in order to meet their tennis development and ranking goals.

ENTERING CONCURRENT TOURNAMENTS

The USTA Regulations prohibit a player from entering two tournaments that have dates that overlap by one or more days unless a player has the prior written consent of both tournaments; however, there are exceptions

to this rule on the national junior level. The USTA National Championships, USTA National Opens, and USTA Regional Tournaments allow for a player to enter more than one age division. Additionally, the USTA National Opens, and USTA Regional Tournaments allow for a player to enter up to 4 tournaments in the same division. For more information on entering, see the “Entry Procedures” sections under USTA National Championships, USTA National Opens and USTA

Regional Tournaments below.

Acceptable forms of

written verification are, in the case of a withdrawal that is due to injury or illness, a note from a medical

professional or, if the withdrawal is for another reason, a written description of the situation so that the Referee can determine whether the situation is a personal circumstance.

NATIONAL STANDINGS LISTS (NSLs)

DEFINITION - NATIONAL STANDINGS LISTS: National Standings Lists are published at least monthly for

each division using the results described below. It is anticipated that NSLs will be published as frequently as once a week. An NSL for a division will include all players who meet the age and citizenship/certain alien

eligibility requirements who have played at least one National Ranking Tournament in the division and have accumulated at least 1 ranking point as the result of an on-court win. An on-court win is one that takes place on-court after the start of the match. Matches won by withdrawal, walkover, default, or disqualification prior to the start of the match are not considered on-court wins. National Ranking Tournaments include the USTA Junior National Championships (collectively, the USTA National Championships, USTA National Opens, and USTA Team Championships), USTA Regional Tournaments, USTA

International Tournaments, and ITF Tournaments on the National Junior Tournament Schedule and up to 12

Sectional tournaments designated by each Section.

RESULTS USED TO CALCULATE NSLs: NSLs are calculated using ranking points earned during the previous 12-month period based on the points per round combined ranking system as follows: • 100% of the singles ranking points from a player’s 6 best National Ranking Tournaments; • 100% of the singles bonus points earned at Boys’ and Girls’ 18 ITF Bonus Point-Only Events on the

National Junior Tournament Schedule; and • 15% of the doubles ranking points from a player’s 6 best National Ranking Tournaments.

Points earned in a higher age division tournament count towards a player’s standing in one or more

younger age divisions.



Page 5 of 15



TIEBREAK RULES FOR NSLs: Tiebreaks on a NSL will be determined as follows: 1. A player whose best event has the highest number of points, second best, third best, etc. through sixth

event. 2. Total Bonus Points earned in all events played during the computation period. 3. Best random draw number

USTA NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS

DEFINITION: The USTA National Championships are the highest level of USTA national junior competition

and have been designated as Level 1 National Ranking Tournaments. Four USTA National Championships

are held each year in each division: USTA National Spring Championships, USTA National Clay Court Championships, The USTA National Championships, and USTA National Winter Championships.

ELIGIBILITY: Players who meet the U.S. citizenship or residency requirements, age eligibility requirements, and membership requirements (current USTA membership) may enter. In addition, professional players may enter. The USTA National Championships are the only type of USTA junior national championship that

professional players can enter.

ENTRY PROCEDURES: Players must enter using TennisLink. See “How to Enter Tournaments on the National Junior Tournament Schedule” on page 3. If a player plays singles and doubles, the player shall play in the same age division. A player may enter up to two age divisions; , however, it is important to understand the consequences of this decision:

If you want to play in one of these tournaments, but aren't sure if you will get in, you may enter up to two different age divisions. When selection is done, players are selected for the oldest age division first. If you

are selected into the older age division entered, you will not be selected into the younger division. If you are not selected into the older division, you will only be considered for selection into the younger division and you will only be eligible to be an alternate in the younger division.

DOUBLES ENTRY PROCEDURES: The entry deadline for the doubles event at USTA National Championships

is on the day of registration and the time is set by the Tournament Committee - see the TennisLink

Tournament Home Page for information. At USTA National Championships that have more than one division (the USTA Winter Championships, for example, has the BG18 and 16 at one location), players must play

doubles in the same division in which they are playing singles.

SINGLES SELECTION PROCEDURE: Each Tournament Committee shall accept players who have submitted timely entries and successful Wild Card applicants into the singles draw in the following order: • Players on National Championship Selection List (NCSL):

Boys’ and Girls’ 18 divisions. For a draw of 192, players on the list in positions 1 through 40 shall be accepted; and for a draw of 128, players on the List in positions 1 through 32 shall be accepted; or

See “National Championship Selection List” below for the criteria for appearing on this list. • Players Who Qualified from USTA National Opens: Players not previously selected who are among

the top two singles finishers in each of the four immediately preceding USTA National Opens shall be accepted, if otherwise eligible. A player whose doubles team has been defaulted for any reason in the

February National Opens USTA National Spring Championships

May National Opens USTA National Clay Court Championships

July National Opens The USTA National Championships

Page 6 of 15



• Players Within Sectional Associations’ Quotas: Junior players not previously selected who are on the Sectional endorsement lists, within the established Sectional quota, and who have submitted timely entries shall be accepted in the order determined by the Sectional endorser.

• Endorsed Players on National Standings List: The Tournament Committee shall fill remaining spots in

the draw, except those spots reserved for Wild Card recipients, with endorsed players who have submitted timely entries who remain on the most recently published singles National Standings List. See “National Standings Lists (NSLs)” on page 4.

• Wild Cards: The Tournament Committee shall accept those junior players granted wild cards by the USTA Wild Card Committee. Wild card recipients do not need Sectional endorsement, however the Sectional office must approve a player’s wild card application. See “USTA National Championship Wild Card Regulations” on page 8. Overall wild card limits are:

Eight (8) wild cards for the 16s and 18s USTA National Spring Championships and USTA National Winter Championships and for all 12s and 14s USTA National Championships.

Twelve (12) wild cards for the 16s and 18s USTA National Clay Court Championships and The USTA National Championships.

SINGLES ALTERNATES:

• Alternate List: The Tournament Committee shall prepare an alternate list of those players with timely

entries not accepted into the draw who appear on the Sectional Endorsement Lists and who are doubles finalists from the four preceding USTA National Opens. Alternates shall be ordered using the National Standings List used to accept players into the draw to fill remaining vacancies. Late entrants who are eligible for selection shall be listed below these players by the date and time on which the late entry is made. If multiple late entries are received at the same time, they shall be ordered by lot. Late entrants are not ordered by position on the National Standings List.

• Replacement of Player Before Draw is Made: The Tournament Committee shall replace a player who was accepted as part of a Section’s quota with the next player on that Section’s endorsement list. The Tournament Committee shall replace a player who was NOT accepted as part of a Section’s quota with next highest remaining alternate.

• Replacement of Player After Draw is Made, but Before the Start of Player’s First Match: The Tournament Committee shall replace a player who withdraws, is defaulted, or is otherwise removed from the draw after the draw is made, but before the player’s first match with next highest remaining

alternate.

ON-SITE ALTERNTES: Each Tournament Committee shall establish a procedure for checking in on-site alternates and publish the procedure on the TennisLink Tournament Home Page. The procedure shall

include the following: • On each day in which alternates may be accepted into a draw, any alternate desiring admittance must

check in and be ready for play no later than 15 minutes prior to the first scheduled match time of the event for which they are an alternate.

• The order of the alternates is based on the original Alternate List published by the tournament, not a more

recent National Standings List, and not in the order in which the players check in.

On-Site Alternates may be admitted into the singles main draw to replace withdrawing players until the completion of the first round of play. Any player receiving a bye in the first round can also be replaced by an on-site alternate in the second round because this player has not yet played a match in the event. This does not apply to players receiving withdrawals or retirements as these are considered matches won. On-Site Alternates may not play in the Feed-In Championship unless they have first played in the singles main draw.

SINGLES SELECTION NOTIFICATION: The players and their acceptance status will be published to the TennisLink Tournament Home Page shortly after the entries close. Wild card recipients will be notified by

the USTA Junior Competition Department. Alternates selected to fill openings in the draw will be contacted

by the Tournament Committee.

NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP SELECTION LIST (NCSL): The USTA shall publish National Championship Selection Lists for singles in each division with effective dates as of January 15, May 1, and October 1 of each year. Each list shall consist of players who are eligible for the next USTA National Championship as follows: • Boys’ and Girls 18 Divisions. Players in the Boys’ and Girls’ 18 divisions shall be listed in the following

order: 1. Sixteen players who have played in the singles draw of at least:

Page 7 of 15



• One National Ranking Tournament (as defined in USTA Regulation IX.C.3) in the List’s division during the four months before the effective date of the list; and

• Two other National Ranking Tournaments in the List’s division during the 12 months before the

effective date of the List. These players shall be listed in the order of strength of record calculated

as of the effective date using the USTA computer ranking program. 2. Players who have an ATP singles ranking of 1000 or better or who have a WTA singles ranking of 600

or better as of the effective date, which players shall be listed in the order of their ranking; and 3. Players not previously listed who have an ITF singles ranking of 100 or better as of the effective date,

which players shall be listed in the order of their ranking. • Boys’ and Girls’ 16, 14 and 12 Divisions. Players who have played in the singles draw of at least:

1. One National Ranking Tournament (as defined in USTA Regulation IX.C.3) in the List’s division during

the four months before the effective date of the list; and 2. Two other National Ranking Tournaments in the List’s division during the 12 months before the

effective date of the List. These players shall be listed in the order of strength of record calculated as of the effective date using the USTA computer ranking program.

Note that the May 1 NCSL is used for both the USTA National Clay Court Championships and The USTA National Championships, except that immediately after the USTA National Clay Court Championships the list

is republished and any players who are not age eligible for The USTA National Championships are removed

and replaced with the next-highest eligible player. • Administrative Errors: Junior players who do not appear on the NCSL due to administrative error may

request a correction to the list. Requests should be sent to the USTA Junior & Collegiate Competition Department, 10399 Flores Drive, Boca Raton, Florida 33428, (561) 962-6400, (561) 962-6485 (Fax), [email protected]. Requests must be postmarked or email time stamped within 10 days of the

publication of NCSL. DOUBLES SELECTION PROCEDURE: The Tournament Committee shall accept doubles teams into the

doubles event in the following order: 1. Teams comprising two players in the singles draw and teams with at least one National Open Doubles

Qualifier paired with one sectionally-endorsed player shall be accepted. This means that a team with a National Open Doubles Qualifier, regardless of whether the Qualifier plays with a singles player, singles

alternate, or doubles-only endorsed player, must be accepted. Tournaments are required to expand the draw beyond the 64 or 96 draw size if it is necessary to accommodate all teams entitled to entry.

2. Teams comprising one player in the singles draw and one sectionally-endorsed player not in the singles

draw. If more than the maximum number of entries is received, selection order is based on combined standings and combined doubles ranking points (see Determining Combined Standings and Combined Ranking Points below), except that no team comprised of a Late Applicant shall be selected before a

team comprised of timely applicants. Tournaments are NOT authorized to expand the draw size in order to accommodate these types of teams.

3. Teams comprising two sectionally-endorsed players not in the singles draw. If more than the maximum number of entries is received, selection order is based on combined standings and combined doubles ranking points (see Determining Combined Standings and Combined Ranking Points below), except that no team comprised of a Late Applicant shall be selected before a team comprised of timely applicants. Tournaments are NOT authorized to expand the draw size in order to accommodate these types of

teams.

Determining Combined Standings and Combined Ranking Points. For the purpose of determining selection of teams, below is the process of calculating combined standings and combined ranking points: • A team’s combined standing is determined as follows: Player A holds the #200 standing and Player B

holds the #201 standing. The Team of A&B would have the combined standing of 402.

• Combined Doubles Ranking Points are determined as follows: Player A has 25 doubles ranking points

and Player B has 10 doubles ranking points. The Team of AB would have combined doubles ranking points of 35.

USTA NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP WILD CARD REGULATIONS

IMPORTANT NOTE: The information below applies ONLY to Wild Cards for USTA National Championships.

See sections on the various tournament types for information on Wild Cards for USTA Regional Tournaments, USTA International Tournaments, and ITF Tournaments.


Page 8 of 15



ELIGIBILITY: Applications for Wild Cards will be considered where extenuating circumstances have made the normal procedure of qualification and endorsement impossible. Wild Cards also may be granted based on

the recommendation of the USTA National Coaching Staff that a player has demonstrated significant potential at the national and international level.

WILD CARD APPLICATION: Wild Card applications are available online. Go to www.USTA.com and click on Youth Tennis/Junior Competition. Once on the Junior Competition page, click on Information for Players and Parents: Tournaments, Rankings & More in the right navigation bar. A link to the Wild Card information

page, including a link to the Wild Card application will be posted on the page. Applications MUST be filed separately for each National Championship and received by the appropriate deadline (see below).

DEADLINE: Applications and supporting documents must be submitted online no later than five (5) days after the entry deadline for the tournament for which the Wild Card is sought. Early application is strongly encouraged.

USTA NATIONAL OPENS

DEFINITION: USTA National Opens are the second-highest level of national competition and have been designated as Level 2 National Ranking Tournaments. USTA National Opens are held four times per year in each division: February, May, July and November. At each of these times, four simultaneous 32-draw tournaments will be held in different regions of the country. The singles and doubles finalists qualify for the subsequent USTA National Championship; however they must submit timely entries to be accepted. See

“USTA National Championships” on page 5.

ELIGIBILITY: Players who meet the U.S. citizenship or residency requirements, age eligibility requirements

and membership requirements (current USTA membership) may enter.

ENTRY PROCEDURES: Players must enter using TennisLink. See “How to Enter Tournaments on the National Junior Tournament Schedule” on page 3. If a player plays singles and doubles, the player shall play in the same age division.

A player may enter up to four USTA National Opens in the same division. When registering on TennisLink, you MUST indicate your preferred site or sites in priority order. Players have the option but not the

obligation to list more than one preference. Players should only list sites to which they would be willing to travel.

A player may also enter up to two age divisions, however, it is important to understand the consequences of this decision. If you want to play in one of these tournaments, but aren't sure if you will get in, you may enter up to two different age divisions. When selection is done, players are selected for the oldest age

division first. If you are selected into the older age division entered, you will not be selected into the younger division. If you are not selected into the older division, you will only be considered for selection into the younger division and you will only be eligible to be an alternate in the younger division.

SELECTION PROCEDURE: Players are accepted into the draws and given preference in their choice of site in the following order: • up to 16 players (up to 4 per draw) from the top 100 players on the most recently published National

Standings List of the next-younger division in the order in which their names appear on this list; • up to 112 players (up to 28 per draw) from the most recently published National Standings List of the

division in the order in which their names appear on this list; • players not yet in the draw whose names appear on the most recently published National Standings List of

the division in the order in which their names appear on this list; • players not yet in the draw whose names appear on the most recently National Standings List of the next-

younger division in the order in which their names appear on this list; and • the remaining entrants in the order of the strength of their records.

Players not selected for their first choice shall remain in the pool of applicants for entry into other concurrent

USTA National Opens. Those players who have not been selected after all four USTA National Open draws have been filled shall be placed in alternate pools at all concurrent USTA National Opens for which the players indicated a preference.

ALTERNATES: Tournament Committees shall order the alternates as follows:

Page 9 of 15



• Players in positions up to 300 from the National Standings List of the division used to select players into the tournament in the order in which their names appear on this List;

• Players not already placed on the alternate list in positions up to 200 from the National Standings List of

the next-younger division used to select players into the tournament in the order in which their names

appear on this List; • Players not already placed on the alternate list whose names appear on the National Standings List of the

division used to select players into the tournament in the order in which their names appear on this List; • Players not already placed on the alternate list whose names appear on the National Standings List of the

next-younger division used to select players into the tournament in the order in which their names appear on this List; and

• The remaining entrants in an order determined by lot.

• Late entrants shall be listed below these players by the date and time on which the late entry is made. If multiple late entries are received at the same time, they shall be ordered by lot. Late entrants are not ordered by position on the National Standings List.

ON-SITE ALTERNTES: Each Tournament Committee shall establish a procedure for checking in on-site alternates and publish the procedure on the TennisLink Tournament Home Page. The procedure shall include the following: • On each day in which alternates may be accepted into a draw, any alternate desiring admittance must

check in and be ready for play no later than 15 minutes prior to the first scheduled match time of the

event for which they are an alternate. • The order of the alternates is based on the original Alternate List published by the tournament, not a more

recent National Standings List, and not in the order in which the players check in.

On-Site Alternates may be admitted into the singles main draw to replace withdrawing players until the completion of the first round of play. Any player receiving a bye in the first round can also be replaced by an on-site alternate in the second round because this player has not yet played a match in the event. This does not apply to players receiving withdrawals or retirements as these are considered matches won. On-Site Alternates may not play in the Feed-In Championship unless they have first played in the singles main

draw.

ONLINE SELECTION NOTIFICATION: Main draw players and alternates can view lists published to the

TennisLink Tournament Home Page no later than five days after the entries close. Alternates will appear on the alternate lists at all sites they have prioritized. Alternates selected to fill openings in the draw will be contacted by the Tournament Committee.

SITE ASSIGNMENT FINAL: Once a player has been accepted into a USTA National Open, the player shall not be eligible for play in any other USTA National Open held during the same time, except that a player may submit a written request to move to another site within the same division if the draw at the requested site is not full, the request is received by each Tournament Director no later than 10 days before the start date of the tournament, and each Tournament Director involved understands the circumstances and concurs

in writing.

DOUBLES ENTRY PROCEDURES: The entry deadline for the doubles event at USTA National Opens is on the day of registration and the time is set by the Tournament Committee – see the TennisLink Tournament Home Page for information.

A player may enter up to four USTA Regional Tournaments in the same division. When registering on

TennisLink, you MUST indicate your preferred site or sites in priority order. Players have the option but

not the obligation to list more than one preference. Players should only list sites to which they would be willing to travel.

A player may also enter up to two age divisions, however, it is important to understand the consequences of this decision. If you want to play in one of these tournaments, but aren't sure if you will get in, you may enter up to two different age divisions. When selection is done, players are selected for the oldest age division first. If you are selected into the older age division entered, you will not be selected into the younger division. If you are not selected into the older division, you will only be considered for selection

into the younger division and you will only be eligible to be an alternate in the younger division.

SELECTION PROCEDURE: Players are accepted into the draws in the following order:

Draw Size of 32 • 6 players will be selected from the from the top 200 players on the most recent National Standing List of

the next-younger age division;

• 25 players will be selected from the most recent National Standing List of the division of the event; • 1 player may be selected by Wild Card. Unused Wild Cards will be filled by players from the National

Standing List of the division of the event. Players must be eligible for national ranking to receive a Wild Card.

• Remaining vacancies will be filled by players from the National Standing List of the division of the event. • In the 12 and under age division, 31 players will be selected from the most recent National Standing List.

Draw Size of 64 • 12 players will be selected from the top 200 players on the most recent National Standing List of the

next-younger age division; • 50 players will be selected from the most recent National Standing List of the division of the event; • 2 players may be selected by Wild Card. Unused Wild Cards will be filled by players from the National

Standing List of the division of the event. Players must be eligible for national ranking to receive a Wild

Card. • Remaining vacancies will be filled by players from the National Standing List of the division of the event. • In the 12 and under age division, 62 players will be selected from the most recent National Standing List.

WILD CARDS: Criteria for selection of a player to receive a Wild Card are at the discretion of the Tournament Committee and may include qualifying draws as set forth below. Information on Wild Cards must be published on the TennisLink Tournament Home Page before entries open including details on the qualifier or the application/request deadline.

QUALIFIERS: Qualifying draws may be held to allocate one or more of the Wild Cards. These qualifying tournaments do not earn national ranking points, however they may count towards sectional ranking if the host Section so chooses.

ALTERNATES: Tournament Committees shall order the alternates as follows:

• Players with 100 or more ranking points on the National Standing List of the division of the event used to

Page 11 of 15



select players into the tournament shall be listed at the top of the alternate list in the order their names appear on such National Standing List;

• Players not previously selected or listed with 100 or more ranking points on the National Standing List of

the next-younger division used to select players into the tournament shall be listed in the order their

names appear on such National Standing List below the first group of players; • Players not previously selected or listed shall be listed in the order their names appear on the National

Standing List of the division of the event used to select players into the tournament below the second group of players;

• Players not previously selected or listed shall be listed in the order their names appear on the National Standing List of the next-younger division used to select players into the tournament below the third group of players.

• Late entrants shall be listed below all other alternates by the date and time on which the late entry is made. If multiple late entries are received at the same time, they shall be ordered by lot. Late Entrants are not ordered by position on the National Standings List.

ON-SITE ALTERNATES: Each Tournament Committee shall establish a procedure for checking in on-site

alternates and publish the procedure on the TennisLink Tournament Home Page. The procedure shall include

the following:

• On each day in which alternates may be accepted into a draw, any alternate desiring admittance must check in and be ready for play no later than 15 minutes prior to the first scheduled match time of the event for which they are an alternate.

• The order of the alternates is based on the original Alternate List published by the tournament, not a more recent National Standings List, and not in the order in which the players check in.

On-Site Alternates may be admitted into the singles main draw to replace withdrawing players until the

completion of the first round of play. Any player receiving a bye in the first round can also be replaced by an on-site alternate in the second round because this player has not yet played a match in the event. This does not apply to players receiving withdrawals or retirements as these are considered matches won. On-Site Alternates may not play in the Feed-In Championship unless they have first played in the singles main draw.

ONLINE SELECTION NOTIFICATION: Main draw players and alternates can view lists published to the TennisLink Tournament Home Page no later than five days after the entries close. Alternates will appear on the alternate lists at all sites they have prioritized. Alternates selected to fill openings in the draw will be

contacted by the Tournament Committee.

DOUBLES ENTRY PROCEDURES: The entry deadline for the doubles event is determined by the Tournament

Committee and may be either the singles entry deadline or some later date - see the TennisLink Tournament Home Page for information.

USTA TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS

The USTA sanctions two different types of USTA Team Championships to give players the fun experience of representing their Section and playing on a team with other junior players: • USTA Boys’ & Girls’ 18 National Team Championships • USTA Boys’ & Girls’ 16 Intersectional Team Championships • USTA Boys’ & Girls’ 16, 14, and 12 National Zone Team Championships The first two listed - National Team and Intersectional Team - are the highest level of team competition in the

U.S and have been designated as Level 1 National Ranking Tournaments. Sectional Associations select teams of their best players to compete against other Sections for the national team title.

The Zone Team Championships, or “Zonals,” are the next level of national team competition and have been designated as level 2 National Ranking Tournaments. Sectional Associations select one or more teams of players to compete regionally against other Sections. Four concurrent Zone Team Championships take place in each division at the same time and not all Sections are represented at each of the regional competitions.

NATIONAL JUNIOR RANKING SYSTEM

The USTA uses a Points Per Round Combined Ranking System (PPR) to annually rank junior players and publishes weekly National Standings Lists. Ranking Points are earned by winning singles and doubles matches at various types of USTA national tournaments and designated ITF tournaments. Extra Ranking Points, called Bonus Points, are earned for winning singles matches over highly-ranked players. Ranking Points are combined (with greater weight placed on Ranking Points earned in singles) for a player’s Ranking Point total and players are ordered based on this total.

A comprehensive description of the USTA Points Per Round Combined Ranking System is on the USTA website. Go to www.USTA.com and click on Player Development/Junior Competition. Once on the Junior Competition page, click on Contact Us in the right navigation bar. Alternatively, click on the link below. http://www.usta.com/Youth-Tennis/Junior-Competition/Ranking/
