CRITERIA FOR 11 AND UNDER GREEN BALL STA LEVEL 3 EVENTS:
1. January
1 to September 1 is a “grace period” where players have the opportunity to play
green ball or yellow to try to reach a 12 & under standing of 300.
2. After
September 1, all players aged 11 & under will be required to play green ball
to reach the benchmark of 300 in the 12U Division. If the player reaches 300 in
the middle of the month, they are still eligible to enter any tournament whose
deadline is within that month.
3. Once a
player reaches the top 300 of the 12U division, they are ineligible for green
ball play in Southern L3 tournaments. Players will still be eligible for their
State’s 12 & under green if they do not feel comfortable with the yellow
ball.
4. When
the top 300 benchmark is reached, players will be added to the 11U Green Ineligible List: Top 300
Benchmark Players, which can be found here.
5. Points
for the 11 & under Green division will be awarded STA L4 Points for the
Feed In Thru Quarterfinals table, which can be found here.
6. One
player from the top 20 of the 10 and under standings will be included in the
draw of eight, provided they have not already met the 12 & under Top 300
benchmark.
7. Player
must be 11 & under and sign up for this tournament in the “12 & Under
Green Ball Division”.
8. Players
may enter both 11 & under green and 12 & under yellow. When selections
are made, the 12 and under yellow is selected first, and if the player is
selected, he/she is removed from consideration for the 11U green.
9. Our tournament committee has decided to add an additional draw of eight in the 11 & under green, if there are enough players to fill the additional draw of eight”.

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 Saturday, May 16 at 6:00 p.m.. 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
