2016 Excellence Notes
The goal of this compass draw tournament is to give players the opportunity to play 3 to 4 matches in a non-elimination format. Because of the varied number of entries in each age division and withdrawals after the entry deadline, we have put the following guidelines in place. Draws for this tournament will not be published until the prior Thursday at 6:00pm. After Thursday at 6:00pm, if a withdrawn player does not affect seeding, then players may be moved to the open line (as per Friend at Court alternate list). If a withdrawn player is seeded, then players may be moved and seeding may be corrected (as per Friend at Court regulations).
Every age division will start with a D draw to manage withdrawals after the entry deadline. Players may be moved from the D draw to the C draw depending on the number of entries on the prior Thursday at noon.
Every effort will be made to have full A, B and C draws to ensure 4 matches for every player. Changes may be made after draws are published! No draw adjustments will be made after play begins. All Super Champ players are eligible for this tournament. This tournament is for Texas Section residents only. In each age group there will be an A draw, B draw, multiple C draws (as needed) and a D draw. The A draw will be the top 16 players, and the B draw will be the next 16 players. The C draw will consist of all other players, equally split into draws of 16 (maximum). The D draw will consist of overflow players from the C draws and will have a minimum of 8 players. A and B draws will be compass draws. C draws may be compass or round robin draws depending on the number of players. The D (or last) draw will be a round robin or a compass draw depending on the number of players (see note below for exact breakdown of draw based on number of players).
