SELECTION PROCESS
Several times each year, the USTA has sanctioned concurrent USTA
National Level 2 Tournaments and entry is permitted in more than one
tournament. It is important to understand the consequences of this
decision.
If you want to play in a USTA National Level 2 Tournament, but are
unsure if you will get in, you may enter up to two different age
divisions of up to four sites of USTA National Level 2 Tournaments.
When selection is done, players are selected for the oldest age division
first based on the most recently published National Standing List of
the division of the tournament.
· If you are selected into the older age division entered, you will not be selected into the younger age division.
· If you are not selected into the older age 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.
Additionally, the computerized selection system attempts to fill the
draws based on the 1st choice of sites of all players. If spots are
still open, it looks at the 2nd choice of sites for the remaining
players, then the 3rd, and finally the 4th. It is VERY IMPORTANT to
only prioritize sites you are willing to play.
Those players who have not been selected after all four USTA National
Level 2 Tournament draws have been filled shall be placed on the
alternate lists at all tournaments for which the players have indicated a
preference. The players are ordered on the alternate lists based on
the player's standing on the National Selection List used to select
players.
