FAQs
Can I withdraw after I complete the registration process?
Yes, you do have the option of withdrawing your player after you complete the registration process and before registration closes.
To withdraw your player,
1. Log into USTA.com with your log in if you are the player or parent/guardian account if you registered your child.
2. Click on the avatar and select Profile.
3. Here you will be able to view your player profile including all the events upcoming and completed you are registered on under the Schedules tab. To see the schedules for players linked to your account, go to Family and click View Profile for the player you want to withdraw.
4. Find the tournament you wish to withdraw from on the Schedules Tab and click on the Manage button.
5. This will open the tournament page and will list all the events you are registered on. If you are withdrawing prior to the event registration deadline you will see the Withdraw link.
6. Click on the Withdraw button and then confirm by clicking on the red Withdraw button.
7. You will then get a confirmation page that you have successfully withdrawn from the event and an email will be sent to you. No charge will be made on your card as you have withdrawn before the registration deadline
Can I withdraw after registration closes?
Yes, but only for illness, injury, or personal circumstance. Please let the Tournament Director or Referee know immediately if you will not be able to play. The tournament is NOT required to give a refund. A refund policy should be listed on the tournament website.
What is tournament selection?
Tournament selection is the process of selecting the registered players for the tournament. These players become the competitors. Selections are based on the player’s USTA National ranking. You will receive an email when you are selected for the tournament.
How many matches will I play?
Junior players are guaranteed two matches. You may have more matches if you have a larger draw. Typically, if you have not lost twice, you will have another match to play.
When will the match times be posted for the tournament?
Match times are posted 24-48 hours before a tournament starts.
Where do I find the match times for the tournament?
To find the match times for your player, return to the tournament website and click on the draw tab. Once you have clicked the draw tab, select your player’s age group. There will be two brackets, main and consolation, click the main bracket. Then look for your players name in the 1st round and note your player’s line number. In the middle of that bracket, you will find your site location, date, and time of your match.
How do I read the draw?
When reading the draw it is helpful to know your player’s line number. The line number makes it easier to find your player’s next match time on the draw. If your player stays in the main draw, follow the brackets to the right. If your player moves to the consolation draw, you will look for your player’s line number in the same round that they just finished in the main draw. For example, if the player did not win their match in the quarterfinals, you would go to the quarterfinals round in the consolation draw and find the bracket that includes their line number. If the bracket has a bye, then you would move to the right of the draw to the next bracket. The information in that bracket will provide you with the location, date and time of the player’s next match.
