SUNDAY, 12:30 P.M. WEATHER UPDATE
In my earlier post I said that this tournament is unofficially cancelled which means that officially, I won't cancel until 2:00 p.m. The rain has stopped but the forecast calls for more rain later and I don't foresee the courts drying enough to play. Prior to 2:00 p.m. I will check the courts and see if there is any chance of drying. If by some slight chance we are able to get on the court, no matches will start before 3:30 p.m.

SEEDS/SPLIT DRAWS USING WATERFALL
Singles Seeds will be made and before draws are split on Tuesday, March 6 using the Waterfall system. The players' list will be split into two groups of 16 and posted at 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday, March 7. First match times and draws will be posted at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday, March 8.
|
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 6 p.m. on Thursday, March 2. 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
|
SEEDING
Seeding for this tournament will be based on the latest southern standing at the time of entry closing. In addition, factors to consider are: Players who have a standing in the next younger age division may be seeded in any group of seeds if they are in the top 10 of the most recently published USTA Southern Combined Standings Lists of any younger age division. Players with current top 50 USTA National standing, top 100 ITF ranking, top 1000 ATP or WTA rankings should be considered for seeding. The Southern Seeding Calculator will be used to assist in seeding any younger players playing up who met the set criteria to be seeded.
