2013 ITF B1 Acce

The Easter Bowl 18 and under event has been a closed ITF Grade B1 event since 2005. The same acceptance process has been used each year. Players must have an active ITF IPIN account in order to enter and compete in this event. Step 1 In an agreement with the International Tennis Federation Juniors Committee, a truncated list of the top 50 Americans on the ITF Junior Ranking List is created. If any of the players on this list enter they receive direct acceptances. The March 11, 2013 ITF ranking list will be used to create this truncated list. In 2012 the last boy accepted from the ITF ranking was ranked 758. The last girl accepted from the ITF ranking was ranked ITF 477. As has been the case every year, not all 50 players enter the tournament. In 2012, 40 boys and 39 girls from this truncated list entered the Easter Bowl. In accordance with the agreement with the ITF, this is the last time that ITF rankings are used for any purpose. Step 2 The remaining vacancies are filled with players not already accepted from the Boys’ and Girls’ 18 and under National Standing List in the order in which they appear on that list. The list from March 13, 2013 will be used for this purpose. In 2012, 16 boys and 17 girls received direct acceptance from this list. Step 3 According to ITF rules, eight (8) wild cards are available for a 64 draw event. Four (4) of the eight wild cards are reserved for the semi-finalists of the USTA National Spring Championships played in Mobile, Alabama if they are not already accepted in step 1. Step 4 Alternates are ordered using the March 13, 2013 Boys’ and Girls’ 18 and under National Standing List in the order in which they appear on that list. Alternates are NOT ordered based on ITF ranking. more info
