New Guidelines for our tournament this year
Beginning January 1, 2012, all USTA Southern Level 3 tournaments will adhere to a set and consistent format. Taking cost and school day factors into account, the Junior Competition Committee has determined that the Level 3 tournaments will be conducted as follows:
Matches are only to be scheduled on Saturday and Sunday
Each division will consist of two 16 feed in draws, with dependent draws
o The draws will be waterfalled to make two balanced draws
o Each draw will use the new Level 3 Point table (increased points)
o Selections will remain the same as in the past. The top 32 players will be selected using the same process for bringing in the lower age division (four from the top 40)
o Up until Wednesday prior to the tournament start date, alternates will fill in for any withdrawn player. On Wednesday, the tournament director will split the 32 players into two balanced 16 draws using a format supplied by the Southern office
o Seeding must be done using the Southern Seeding Calculator
o After the draws are complete, the next alternate will fill a "withdrawal" spot no matter in which draw the withdrawal occurs. If a seeded player withdraws prior to 9:00 am local time the Friday before the tournament, the seeds shall be adjusted (only in that particular draw) according to FAC. If the withdrawal occurs after 9:00 am local time, the next alternate would be placed on same line as withdrawing seed
o Out of Section players would be dealt as has been done in the past, only after all of our Section players have been taken care of first.
o In the 12s division, four players from the 10s division will be selected by the guidelines but these players will not be considered for seeding
o Players will be guaranteed three matches but most will have four
Point Table
o The new Level 3 point table will be used starting January 1, 2012
Draw information
o Two 16 feed in draws with dependent draws.
o All single matches will be best of two with a match tiebreak to be used for the third
o If the number of entrants for a division is less than 24, one draw will be made using a modified back draw.

Signing up for two divisions
Players are allowed to enter two divisions with these guidelines: #1. Players selected to both age divisions they apply for will automatically be selected to the older age division. They would be removed from the other age division. #2. Players not selected to either divisions would remain on the alternates lists for both divisions but would be obligated to play the division they first get in, from the alt. list. They would be removed from the Alternate list in the other division. #3. Players selected to one age division would be removed from the alternates list of the division they were not selected. #4. Once a player is selected for any one division no changes can be made.
