How do you qualify for Futures and Challenger/Sattelite tournament?

[FarrelL]

these tournaments are like for pros but they aren't that good, so how do you get in. These tournaments are like for beginners, so how do you qualify if you have 0 ranking points?

Signup with the USTA. Yes you can join. Trust me....once you are in the 18+ age group...the competition is fierce. No tournament player is "not good". Obviously you never played in a tournament. Some guys are really crazy.
