HIGH-TECH TENNIS (from Atlanta, GA) will be onsite for the ENTIRE TOURNAMENT to offer Match Recording Services (BASIC and DELUXE). Almost all kids are visual learners ... and video is an EXCELLENT teaching tool (not to mention a VERY wonderful keepsake that will last for a lifetime) so take advantage of this invaluable service! SEEING REALLY IS BELIEVING…and it’s time to find out what so many of the top players already know: VIDEO WORKS!!!

Top 64 players applying from the USTA/Southern latest STANDINGS LIST. 56 players from this age group will be selected and up to 8 players from the younger age group who are eligible from the younger age group, who have a standing in the top 80 of the younger age group, and are not in the selected 56, will be selected.

USTA SOUTHERN SEEDING CRITERIA USTA Southern Level 1, 2 and 3 Tournaments SINGLES SEEDING CRITERIA Seeding shall be done using only the results from most recently published USTA Southern Combined Standings Lists of the division in the order in which players appear on the list. Definition of Most Recently Published USTA Southern Combined Standings Lists: • Southern Closed Championships (June) Published List on Monday prior to tournament start • Southern Championships (other than June) Published List at least 8 days prior to tournament start • Southern Designated Published List at least 8 days prior to tournament start • Southern Level 3 Published List used for Selections tournament start In addition to the list, other criteria to consider: • 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.

Do not enter two tournaments at the same time. How to avoid Penalties: If you end up on the alternate list, you must with-draw from the alternate list first and then enter the 2nd event. Tournaments have different deadlines that will allow you time to make your changes.

Players are allowed to enter two divisions with these guidelines: #1. Players selected to both age divisions they apply for will automatically be selected to the older age division. They would be removed from the other age division. #2. Players not selected to either divisions would remain on the alternates lists for both divisions but would be obligated to play the division they first get in, from the alt. list. They would be removed from the Alternate list in the other division. #3. Players selected to one age division woud be removed from the alternates list of the division they were not selected. #4. Once a player is selected for any one division no changes can be made. You must enter both events,the Cary Bullfrog (12 or 14s) and the Raleigh Bullfrog(16 or 18s) to sign up for 2 divisions. This does not mean you are signing up for 2 tournaments.

Draws will be 64 players with a Full Feed In through the Quarters and 3/4 playoff. Main Draw will play the best two out of three tie-break sets. Feed-in will be the best of three sets playing a 10 point match tie break in lieu of third set. In the event of inclement weather, match format is subject to change. The Consolation draws will play three matches on Sunday and three on Monday.

All players must have a Birth Certificate on file in the Southern office for proof of US Citizenship. Green Cards will be accepted. Passports are not accepted. To verify you are on the list, click here. more info
