Player Selections & Alternates.
Player selections have been completed. The October 31, 2016 NC Standings were used for the selection process. All players on the standings list for the specific age group were selected for participation. For those divisions where there were not enough players on the standings list to fill the 32 draw, the remaining spots in the draw were chosen through a random draw. All Alternates were chosen through a random draw.
All Alternates should continue to check the tournament webpage to see if they get into the tournament. The Alternates List will be updated daily as we receive withdrawals from the tournament.
If a player wishes to enter another tournament, they must withdraw from this tournament prior to doing so, even if you are only on the Alternate List. Failure to do so could result in suspension points.

Match Format-All main and consolation draws are 2 out of 3 tiebreak sets with a match tiebreak to be played in lieu of a third set. A match tiebreak is the first to 10 by 2. All 10's play the required format of 4 games per set for singles and doubles and if they split sets they play a set tiebreaker which is to 7 by 2. Each set is the first to 4 and win by 2 with ad scoring. We urge parents and coaches to go over this scoring format so they can be familiar with it prior to the tournament. There will be a volunteer to assist the players as much as possible. We want this to be an enjoyable experience.
