ENDORSEMENT LIST WILL BE POSTED BY FRIDAY NIGHT!
We will have a link to our endorsement list posted by Friday night. If you see an error please notify me immediately as the selections will be made Monday and no corrections of players selected can be made after that. E-mail me at wtfain@charter.net This list could be adjusted prior to selection being made. Selections were made based on the players playing there way in as outlined under each division below and the Southern Standings, the Southern Standing that were used were published on June 5th.We have not selected the Boy's 14's due to a technical error not allowing those standings to be run and posted. We hope they will get the problem fixed over the weekend. When looking at the list ignore the points as they are not accurate to the Southern Standings. Thanks William Fain USTA Alabama 334-398-3344
