Qualifying for national tournaments

[Brendan]

To qualify for a national tournament, do you need to be ranked top 5 or something in your section or do you just need to be ranked high enough nationally to qualify, for example, the national clay court championships?

Each section is allowed to endorse a certain number of players for the National Tournaments.

Not necessarily.

its different for every section. like Texas usually endorses the top 5 for the supernats but sections like the southern section allow 32.

But it also varies between tournaments. For kalamazoo texas endorsed the top 9.

here is the selection process for the next national open (B16s in November) - http://tennislink.usta.com/tournaments/tournamenthome/selectionprocess.aspx?GID=44&G=B&V=18
