Notes
This tournament is part of the US Open National
Playoffs - a series of tournaments that gives any player 14 years
of age or older who meets the eligibility requirements the
opportunity to qualify for the 2011 US Open. Sixteen USTA sections
will run a Sectional Qualifying Tournament to include a men's
singles, women's singles and mixed doubles division between April 1
and July 4. With a maximum of a 256 singles draw and a 128 mixed
doubles team draw, players/teams will compete in a single
elimination draw. Singles players will play to the best-of-three
tiebreak sets and mixed doubles teams will play two tie-break sets,
no-ad scoring, with a match tie-break in lieu of a third set.
Within each division, the top two players/teams will be seeded
based on their ATP/WTA computer ranking (if any). The winner of
each Sectional Qualifying Tournament in each division (men's
singles, women's singles, mixed doubles) will advance to the US
Open National Playoffs Championships in their respective division
taking place in New Haven, CT at Yale University during the New
Haven Open at Yale, a WTA event, part of the Olympus US Open Series
(August 18-21 for singles, August 24-27 for mixed doubles). The
winner of each Singles Championship (1 male, 1 female) will receive
a wild card entry to compete in the 2011 US Open Qualifying
Tournament (August 23-26) and the winner of the Mixed Doubles
Championship (1 team) will receive a wild card entry to compete in
the 2011 US Open Mixed Doubles Championship (commencing August 31)
at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. Go to
usopen.org/nationalplayoffs for additional information. Good
luck!
Player Selection TypeThe tournament director will run a "Lottery Selection Process" via TennisLink within 24 hours after the entry close date which will automatically accept all entries if the total number of entries into the tournament is less than or equal to 256 for men's singles, less than or equal to 256 for women's singles, and less than or equal to 128 teams for mixed Doubles; and, if applicable, less than or equal to 128 teams for men's doubles, and less than or equal to 128 teams for women's doubles. If the total number of entries into the tournament is greater than the above, then the "Lottery Selection Process" will determine accepted entries at random. A player's entry fee will only be processed if he/she is accepted into the tournament. All players accepted into the tournament will receive an email notification via TennisLink indicating as such and will be posted online once the "Lottery Selection Process" is run. All players not accepted into the tournament will receive an email notification via TennisLink indicating as such once the "Lottery Selection Process" is run.
