Seeding & Selections
Seeding and Selections will be determined using the current NC Standings at the time (typically within 24 hours of the tournament deadline). NCTA guidelines do not allow postponing selections until the next Standings lists are released. Tournament deadlines are staggered based on the tournament tier to allow players the opportunity to register for lower tiered events if they are not selected. If you do not meet the requirements of a particular event by the tournament deadline do not expect to be selected. If you are playing up or are an out-of-state player you must request consideration for seeding via email.

Round Robin Tie Break Procedure
Determining order of finish. The player who wins the most matches is the winner. If two players are tied, then the winner of their head-to-head match is the winner. If three or more players are tied, the Referee shall use the following steps in the order listed to break all ties. The Referee shall break as many ties as possible using a given step before using the next step. These steps are: • The head-to-head win-loss record in matches involving just the tied players; • The player with the highest percentage of sets won of all sets completed; • The head-to-head win-loss record in matches involving the players who remain tied; • The player with the highest percentage of games won of all games completed; • The head-to-head win-loss record in matches involving the players who remain tied; • The player with the highest percentage of sets won of sets completed among players in the group under consideration; • The head-to-head win-loss record in matches involving the players who remain tied; • The player with the highest percentage of games won of games completed among the players under consideration; and • The head-to-head win-loss record in matches involving the players who remain tied. If the Referee has applied all the steps and a tie still cannot be broken, the Referee shall use a random drawing among the remaining tied players to determine their order of finish.
