LIMITED DRAWS & SELECTION PROCESS
Because this is a STA Level 3 event, the following Selection Process was used:
Top 32 players applying from the USTA/STA latest standings list: 28 players from this age group will be selected and up to 4 players from the younger age group who are eligible from the younger age group, who have a standing in the top 40 of the younger age group, and are not in the selected 28, will be selected.
The names of the player who have been selected will appear as competitors.
Alternates are listed in the report section. DO NOT refer to the alternates on the far left side of the web page (that list is not updated).
Players are allowed to enter two divisions with these guidelines:
• Players selected to both age divisions they apply for will automatically be selected to the older age division (they will be removed from the other age division).
• 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 will be removed from the alternate list in the other division).
• Players selected to one age division will be removed from the alternates list of the division they were not selected.
• Once a player is selected for any one division no changes can be made.
The selection list will be posted at 12 NOON ON Monday, April 20, 2009

SEEDING
This tournament’s seeding will be done in accordance with USTA Regulations. They will be compiled and examined by the Head Referee, Tournament Director, and members of the Tournament Committee. The STA rankings published before the tournamnet deadline will be used.
Factors to consider in seeding (take 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.
