Notes
This tournament is part of the US Open National Playoffs - a
series of tournaments that gives any person 14 years of age or
older who meets the eligibility requirements the opportunity to
earn a singles wild card entry to compete in the US Open Qualifying
Tournament at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center,
August 24-27, 2010. Participating USTA sections will run a men's
and women's Sectional Qualifying Tournament between April 1 and
July 5. Players will compete in a single elimination singles draw
played to the best-of-three tiebreak sets. Players in the draw will
not be seeded by any means. The winner of each men's and women's
Sectional Qualifying Tournament will advance to the US Open
National Playoffs - Men's and Women's Championship which will be
held in conjunction with Olympus US Open Series Tournaments this
summer. Dates and locations for these events will be announced
shortly. At each US Open National Playoffs Championship, a maximum
of 16 players will compete in a single elimination singles draw
played to the best-of-three tiebreak sets with the one male winner
and one female winner receiving a singles wild card entry to
compete in the 2010 US Open Qualifying Tournament. Go to usopen.org
for additional information. Good luck!
Seeding: Players competing in a Sectional Qualifying Tournament
shall not be seeded by any means.

entries into the tournament is less than or equal to two hundred
and fifty six (256). If the total number of entries into the
