**Important Information From Southern about Selection*** Bonus point update!
01/27/14 Bonus Points Update********You will note that the standing list done Sunday, January
26th, once again has some changes. It is not an error. As you know,
starting in 2014, we started to use the new points table and bonus points.
Putting the bonus points into effect skewed the standings a bit for the bonus
points had to go retroactive to the 2013 results. This effected the standings
more than the committee had hoped and many complaints were recorded.
In researching the situation, it was found that National
was to do the same thing but decided to hold off, for they thought there might
be a fix where that the new 2014 bonus points would not have to go retro. That
fix is still being researched, but it is unknown if this will be a quick fix or
a long term fix. Therefore, it was determined that the best route for us
to take was to go back and use the 2013 bonus points for now and the future
until a fix is installed without the need of going retroactive. Please keep
checking the new spot on the Southern Home Page for updates, or contact Bill or
Sandy in the southern office I am very sorry for the confusion. We were truly hoping
for the quick fix, but it was not to happen. Thank you again,
Sandy

Match check in
Regulation IV.A.2 now states "The referee may penalize a player who is on site for lateness if a court is available and the player has failed to check in at the tournament desk by the scheduled match time." This means, if there is one open court at 10:00 and there are three matches to put on the referee will start the clock for lateness for anyone who has not checked in for the 10:00-- Even though there are not enough courts for all three matches. 1. The first matches of each will begin promptly at 8:00 please be checked in and on your court at 7:45. 2. For all matches after 8:00 , please check in at the tournament desk 15 minutes before your scheduled match time,. Do not wait until 9:59 to check in for a 10:00 match. PLEASE go to the bathroom,fill your water bottle,ETC before you check in. 3. Once you have checked in, please stay near the tournament desk until we tell you the court assignment. You must be where you can hear us call your name after you check in. 4.We will be watching the clock for lateness. please do not ask us if your opponent has checked in - you have other things to think about. The staff and the Referee will take care of lateness issues you need only to worry about your own timeliness.
REMEMBER WE ARE ON EASTERN STANDARD TIME...
