Chapel Hill Tennis Club Jr State Open Chps NC L2/STA L3

We believe we have all the doubles issues resolved were all players are playing in the same age group as they are in singles as a result some of the doubles draws have some new bye's. Thanks everybody who emailed me and helped resolve this issue.

It is up to you see if you got into the doubles there are no guarantees when you would like us to find you a partner

Our tournament play will begin on Saturday May 2nd not on May 1st, our plan is to run it like last year doubles first followed by singles play

Please note that we are offering Doubles for this tournament. Doubles will begin on Saturday May 2nd at 8 am. We will not be playing the extra draws for any singles events. Please register with a partner so we have a complete team. If you are looking for a partner please email the tournament director and we will do our best to pair you up. Doubles draws will be limited to 16 teams per age division.
Please note that you must play doubles in the age group you have signed up to play Singles in.

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.
