11 & Under Green Update
As you are well 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)
-
Selection will be done as all selections for 12
thru 18’s. Please see process listed on the home page below
-
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
Using the latest USTA/Southern standing list, the top 32 players applying from each age group will be selected by the Southern Section 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. Selections will be posted at 8 p.m. on Saturday, May 16 at 6:00 p.m.. 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. 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 place 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
