*All tournaments shall have two 16 balanced draws in each age division. The two draws will be determined by use of the waterfall system. Format: Feed in with an independent draw for the losers of the first feed in match. This will guarantee three matches.

*Format will remain the same for all Level 3 events. The only change will be for an Indoor event which will be able to add one day.
*Seeding shall follow the USTA Southern Section seeding regulations. Players selected on their 10’s standing shall not be considered for seeding in the 12’s division.
*Scoring: Tie Break in lieu of the third set shall be used in all matches. Short scoring: No ad scoring or “Short” sets, first player/team to win four games wins the set provided there is a two game margin over the opponent(s), may be used due to inclement weather.
