12U Division
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.
