As of Jan. 2012 all USTA Southern Junior Level 3 tournaments will be following the following format unless stated otherwise on the tournament homepage. Highlights of the New Format are as follows: *ALL LEVEL 3 TOURNAMENTS WILL BE HELD OVER A TWO DAY PERIOD (SATURDAY AND SUNDAY) UNLESS APPROVED BY THE STA. *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. *If number of participants goes under 24 (23 and under), one draw will be used instead. *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. Before changing format due to inclement weather, this must be approved by Section and State. *10's will play on 60ft court using Orange Low Compression balls and 25" racquets. Scoring: TBD
