12 & UNDER
We will be testing out a pilot program for the USTA North Carolina Junior Tournament Committee for this tournament. Any player in the Boys and Girls 12s with at least 300 ranking points in the 12s will be placed into the L3 division using the yellow ball. All players who do not meet the 300 point threshold in the 12s, will automatically be placed in a separate draw which will count for L4 points and they will compete with the green ball. This format will only be used in a select few L3 tournaments during the year as test pilots for the North Carolina Junior Tournament Committee.
