IMPORTANT TOURNAMENT INFORMATION !
Please take note of the following VERY important tournament information. The more you read, the more you know !! 1) In this tournament we PLAY EARLY & we PLAY LATE. This is just the way it is with 250 kids playing singles and doubles over 2.5 days on INDOOR courts. We use a full 2.5 days to complete the tournament, not 1.5 days, so be ready to play early and play late BOTH days on Saturday & Sunday.
2) The benefit of playing indoors is we are GUARANTEED to not have any RAIN DELAYS and courts are climate controlled (not too hot or too cold) and we will complete the tournament, so it is a little give and take aspect of indoor tournament play of this level with this many people with the late match schedule. Basically, we have done this for several years now and this is the way it has to be for indoors.

SELECTION PROCESS
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.
