"You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
  You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
  You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
  You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.
  You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
  You cannot build character and courage by taking away men's initiative and independence.
  You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves."
  William J. H. Boetcker, Presbyterian Minister (1942 - often incorrectly attributed to Abraham Lincoln)

"The budget should be balanced,
  the Treasury should be refilled,
  public debt should be reduced,
  the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled,
  and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt.
  People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance."
  Marcus Tullius Cicero - 55 BC

USTA junior rankings were based on the Star (Sirius Software) point system until 12/03. Points were awarded (or lost) based on the difference betweeen an individual and his/her opponent's current point total over a 12 month period of play. The process was iterated until a stable rank order is established.

As of 01/04 the USTA switchied to an ATP/ITF-like system which is based on how far the player gets in each of his/her best 8 tournaments in the previous 12 months. There are also bonus points for extra-ordinary wins over highly ranked players.

Note: There are two different USTA national player listings

SSL - The Standings and Seedings List typically ranks more than 1000 players in each age/sex category. It is updated regularly (at least in the middle of each month) and is used to determine priority for entry into National tournaments.

National Ranking - The National Ranking List has more stringent participation qualifications than the SSL and normally lists fewer than 300 players in each age/sex category. Preliminary singles lists are published in the middle of each month and include results for the previous 12 full months; They are finalized at the beginning of the following month. The doubles lists are published covering a calendar year shortly after the end of each year. The ranking lists are archived (Starting in 1999) by the USTA.

Included Matches - Only matches played in National or high-level regional tournaments count towards National Ranking or SSL points.

The ITF uses a ranking system that is similar to that of the ATP. Points are awarded according to wins in an ITF tournament and the tournament's estimated level of play. In general, no points are awarded for a first round win or wins in a back draw. You need to have some points in the current year to have an ITF ranking
