IMPORTANT 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 days to complete the tournament, not 1.5 days, so be ready to play early and play late BOTH days. We will start doubles play the evening of December 30th at 5:00pm
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. 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.
|
SIGNING UP FOR TWO DIVISIONS
Players are allowed to enter two divisions with these guidelines: #1. Players selected to both age divisions they apply for will automatically be selected to the older age division. They would be removed from the other age division. #2. Players not selected to either divisions would remain on the alternates lists for both divisions but would be obligated to play the division they first get in, from the alt. list. They would be removed from the Alternate list in the other division. #3. Players selected to one age division would be removed from the alternates list of the division they were not selected. #4. Once a player is selected for any one division no changes can be made.
