CONCURRENT ENROLLMENT IN National Level 2 Tournaments:
USTA National Level 2 Tournaments:
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 first choice of sites of all
players. If spots are still open, it looks at the second choice of sites
for the remaining players, then the third and, finally, the fourth. 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.
