EXTENDED DOUBLES DEADLINE
The doubles deadline will extend to Tuesday, August 23 at noon. This will give those who don't have a partner yet more time to find one. If you do find a partner after the singles deadline, you must email chipstearns@hotmail.com with your partner's name and the division you are playing. Remember that you must play the same doubles division as you are singles. After the doubles deadline has passed, all those that are signed up for doubles without a partner will be randomly placed with the others that do not have partners. In case of an odd number, we will pick partners on a random draw. The odd player out will not play unless an additional player is found within a couple hours. Thank you for your understanding!

11 AND UNDER GREEN BALL INFORMATION
As you are aware, there has been an 11 & Under pilot ongoing to help with the development of our players, by initiating a 11 & under Green division. A benchmark was added to slow down the race to 12 & Under yellow, again, for developmental purposes for the player. As of March 1, 2016, the USTA Southern Junior Competition Committee is taking the next step. The “benchmark” will be eliminated. Therefore, the following will take place: * For events with deadlines past March 1, you will be able to enter 10 & Under Orange, 11 & Under Green, or 12 & Under Yellow as long as player is age eligible. * Player will be able to enter two divisions ( 11 & Under as well as 10 & Under, 12 & under as well as 11 & Under etc). You will still only play one divison however. * Selection will be done as all selections for 12 thru 18’s. * Bottom line, if you enter two divisions, you will be considered for the upper division first and if not selected, then the lower division. You must play where selected. * Selections will be based on the player’s standing. * For those entering 11 & Under Green, the 12 & Under standing will be used for selection until April 1st. At that time an 11 & Under standing/ranking will be used. * Draw size will be 16 * Now the choice will be left up to the coach/parent/player on what division to enter. Please remember though, selection will be based on standings.

SELECTION PROCESS/TWO DRAWS OF 16 FOR EACH GROUP
The top 32 players applying from each age group will be selected by the Southern Section office, from the latest USTA/Southern standing list -- 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 the waterfall system to make sure each of the two 16 draws are balanced by strength. If there are less than 24 players for a division, there will be one draw for that division.
