TennisLink Doubles Selection Process BUG
• If you entered singles and doubles and were accepted for singles, but rejected for doubles, that is a BUG in the selection system. • The USTA selection system assumes that each team is composed of one player, so it selects only half of the players eligible to fill the draw • We will check the Applicants list at the deadline and attempt to place all accepted singles players in doubles if they applied for doubles. Otherwise, you may enter via email. You won't be left out !!!!!

NO PERMISSION NECESSARY TO ENTER 2 SITES !!
