Seeding...
SEEDING AND DRAWS
FIRST: Top seed is based on last years State winners. SECOND: Seeds were based on top four district winners THEREFORE - SEEDS 1,2,3 & 4 are IN MOST CASES the district winners!!! THIRD: information sent in by coaches - consideration will be given to the district winners that have head-to-head wins over other district winners or USTA seeding information that warrents seeding. FORTH: If the top districts winners were not in the State Tournament last year AND no seeding is turned in by the coach - the TOP DISTRICT WINNERS will be "drawn out of a hat" for their placement. In most cases each bracket will have a player/team from a different district. IF you see a mistake PLEASE email me at KEVTENNIS@AOL.com - ONCE AGAIN - it is important that you check the draws before you leave for the tournament.
