EACH EVENT LIMITED TO 32 PLAYERS
Draws with more than 24 players will use the waterfall system with two balanced draws of 16 players.
|
Selection Process
Using the latest USTA/Southern standing list, the top 32 players applying from each age group will be selected by the Southern 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. Each group of 32 players selected from each age group will be divided into two draws of 16 each. We will be using a waterfall system to make sure each of the two 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 placed 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.

Registering 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 will be removed from the other age division.(2) Players not selected to either division would remain on the alternate's lists for both divisions but would be obligated to play the division they first get in, from the alternate list. They will be removed from the Alternate list in the other division. (3) Players selected to one age division will be removed from the alternates list of the other division.(4) Once a player is selected for any one division no changes can be made.

SCORING FORMAT
12's - 18's will play best 2 out of 3 sets with a 10-point match tiebreak in lieu of a 3rd set. 10's will play best 2 out of 3 short sets with a 7-point tiebreak in lieu of a 3rd set.
