SELECTION PROCESS
Using the latest USTA/Southern standing list, the top 32 players applying from each age group will be selected by the Southern Section office. -- 28 players from the age group will be selected and up to 4 players from the younger age group that have a top 40 standing and are not in the selected 28. Selections will be posted at 8 p.m. on Sunday, May 18. Each group of 32 players selected from each age group will be divided into two draws of 16 each. We will be using the waterfall system to make sure each of the two 16 draws are balanced by strength. A change to this process is that prior to splitting players using the waterfall system, the players selected from the younger age group will be place in their proper position based on strength. The 32 players were split as follows: Red 1,4,5, 8,9,12,13,16,17,20,21,24,25,28,29,32. Blue 2,3, 6,7,10,11,14,15,18,19,22,23,26,27,30,31
