SEEDING
Factors to consider in seeding.(Taken from "Friend at Court") Seedings merely represent the Committee's subjective ratings of the various players' chances of winning the tournament. These ratings may not be based on whim, caprice, or hunches, but instead shall be justified by a reasonable amount of factual evidence, including, but not limited to, rankings, current records, types of surface and particularly head to head encounters. Two outstanding doubles players playing together for the first time should be considered for a place on the seeded list.
