The Easter Bowl 18 and under event has been a closed ITF grade B1 event since 2005. The same acceptance process has been used each year. Players must have an active ITF IPIN account in order to enter and compete in this event. Step 1
In an agreement with the International Tennis Federation Juniors Committee, a truncated list of the first 40 Americans on the ITF Junior Ranking List is created. If any of the players on this list enter, they receive direct acceptances. The February 25, 2019 ITF ranking list will be used to create this truncated list.
Step 2 The remaining vacancies are filled with players not already accepted from the Boys’ and Girls’ 18 and under National Standing list in the order in which they appear on that list. The list from February 28, 2018 will be used for this purpose.
Step 3 According to ITF rules, eight (8) wild cards are available for a 64 draw event. Unused wild cards revert back to the wild card committee.
Qualifying The qualifying will be a 64 draw and eight (8) players will qualify for the main draw. Qualifying acceptances will be based on the Boys’ and Girls’ 18 and under National Standing List of February 27, 2019.
Qualifying Alternates Qualifying alternates are ordered using the February 27, 2019 Boys’ and Girls’ 18 and under National Standing list in the order in which they appear on that list.

The USTA has a formal system of merit-based wild cards in order to create developmental and progression opportunities for our best American players. Please click the "more info" button to learn more about this system and see what wild cards have been allocated to top finishers of the Easter Bowl.
