How RallyFlick works

A short email every Monday. Only events we can still see as open. Written so you can tap Register on a phone. Built for junior players and their parents, and for adult competitive players looking for their next match.

1. Your household profile

You give us an email, a home ZIP, how far you will drive, and for each player a first name or nickname, an age division and girls or boys draws. Junior divisions run from 8 and under through 18s, including a play-up when you ask for one. Adult 18+ and Adult 40+ are common USTA adult age-group categories. Choose them when that is the group you enter. We use that to filter events, not to publish names.

2. Fresh search, every week

Every Monday morning we search USTA tournament listings on playtennis.usta.com near every member's ZIP for the next 60 days. That covers USTA Florida and other section events, Junior Circuit, and the many club and park tournaments that are USTA-sanctioned and listed there. Any U.S. ZIP works. We started in Central Florida, around 34786. Junior events are matched to each junior's age group, and open adult events are matched when you choose Adult 18+ or Adult 40+.

3. A live open-registration check

A date in the future is not enough. We treat an event as open only when live data says entries are still open, the event is not cancelled, and registration has actually started. We drop closed events, cancelled events, and draws that are no longer available to your players.

4. What we leave out

UTR- and WTN-required events are excluded, so we do not send you to a draw you cannot enter without a rating. Selection-only national events are left out. We do not include a tournament just because it looks popular.

5. How we rank picks

For junior newcomers and low-rated players, Level 7 and Junior Circuit events come first, then Level 6, with Level 5 and above as a reach. For adult divisions, we match the age-group category you chose and prefer closer venues. Every pick stays inside the drive time you chose. Each top pick gets a one-line reason: "why it ranks here." Anything closing within 7 days is flagged, with the Tournament ID on that line.

6. The Monday email

The email is short on purpose. It includes:

A title, the area, and the date window.
A mobile tip: if Register shows an error inside Gmail, open the link in Safari or Chrome, or search the Tournament ID on the USTA hub.
A deadline-soon line when one applies.
Per-player top picks, each with a why line, a short Register link, and a Tournament ID.
A compact table of more open events.
Notes on the as-of time, straight-line distances, and fee caveats.

Register links are short rallyflick.com/r/ links that land on the official USTA tournament page, so they do not break when Gmail wraps a line.

How far is "near"?

You pick a drive time, and we turn it into a straight-line distance from the center of your ZIP: about 30 minutes is 22 miles, 40 minutes is 29, 45 minutes is 33, 1 hour is 45, and 90 minutes is 65. Distances in the email are straight-line miles, not driving routes, so traffic and tolls can change the real trip.

Your first email

When you finish checkout with your players set, and your ZIP is inside this week's search area (most of Central Florida), your first picks are emailed within minutes, from the live check earlier that week. Otherwise your first report arrives the next Monday morning. After that, a fresh report arrives every Monday.

If nothing is open

If a live check leaves zero open events for your players, we skip that week rather than send an empty report. You can widen your drive time anytime in Manage preferences.
