Tournament Deadline is Thursday April 9th
The deadline for all North Carolina Level 3 tournaments is the Thursday,
the week before the tournament. This deadline is, Thursday April 9th
at 11:59pm. Please sign up ahead of time. No late entries are
allowed in North Carolina Level 3 tournaments.

12U Division
New for 2015 (effective March 1), players will not be allowed to compete
in a North Carolina Level 3 tournament in the 12U division unless they
have accumulated at least 300 ranking points in North Carolina at the
time selections are made. The North Carolina Junior Tournament
Committee put this rule in place to be sure that players are developing
properly in the correct pathway (from 10U Orange). All North Carolina
state L4s and L5s use green ball in the 12s, so the player has to earn
their way into a North Carolina L3 in 12U yellow ball.
|
Draw Limits
Draws
are limited to 32 players per age division and selections will be made by the most up to date North Carolina Standings List at the time entries close.
|
Boys/Girls 10s
Boys/Girls
10s: The 10s division for this tournament will play on a 60' court
using ORANGE compression balls. Racquets cannot be longer than 25".
Matches are best-of-three 4 game sets (TB at 4-all), AD scoring, with
a 7 point tiebreak instead of a third set.

Events with 24 or more players
Waterfall
System Taking
cost and school day factors into account, this allows tournaments to
be completed in just two days and provides players with the
opportunity to earn more ranking points. Draws will be limited to 32
players per age division. Each division that has 24 or more players
will be split into two separate draws. Players will then be
"waterfalled" into two balanced draws based on the
selection lists in the following order:
Red:
1,4,5,8,9,12,13,16,17,20,21,24,25,28,29,32. White:
2,3,6,7,10,11,14,15,18,19,22,23,26,27,30,31. Selections will be made
using the most up to date NC Standings. Seeds will be
determined using NCTA Seeding Criteria after the waterfall is done.
The format is FIC (Feed-In Consolation through QF). All matches will
play a 10-point match tiebreaker instead of a full 3rd set.
There will be a playoff for 3rd
and 4th
place. Consolation
finals will NOT be played out.
Both players who reach the finals of consolation will receive the
same number of ranking points.
|
Events with 8-23 players
