Factors to consider in seeding (taken from “Friend at Court”)
Seedings merely represent the Committee’s subjective ratings of the various players’ chances of winning the tournament. These ratings may not be based on whim, caprice, or hunches, but instead shall be justified by a reasonable amount of factual evidence, including, but not limited to, rankings, current records, types of surface, and particularly head to head encounters. Two outstanding doubles players playing together for the first time should be considered for a place on the seeded list.

Limited Draws: Some divisions will be limited to a specific number of entries. The Tournament Director also reserves the right to allow more players into a division than the entry limit if possible.

Selection Process: The top players applying from the USTA/NC most current standings list will be selected into the draw. Selections will be posted no later than the Monday after the deadline at 5:00 PM. The names of players who have been selected will appear as “Competitors.”

The alternates by event report will be updated daily. Contact us immediately if you realize that you can not participate. It is the alternates’ responsibility to check the website to see if your alternate status has changed. The tournament will make every effort to contact you if your status does change providing the correct information is on your membership profile. Once an alternate is selected for play, payment is due immediately.

Also, due to the large size of the draw, we will attempt to play some of the consolation matches outdoors, weather permitting. If you have any questions on this, call us at (336) 373-5886.
