ON-SITE ALTERNATES
ON-SITE ALTERNATES (OSA) MUST BE ON SITE TO SIGN IN.
On-Site Alternates. On-site alternates are those players on the alternate
list who have come to the tournament site to be a last-minute replacement for a
withdrawing player. The Tournament Committee shall establish a procedure for
checking in on-site alternates and instruct players on the tournament web site.
The procedure shall include the following: • On each day in which alternates
may be accepted into a draw, any alternate desiring admittance must check in and
be ready for play no later than 15 minutes prior to the first scheduled match
time of the event for which they are an alternate. • The order of the
alternates is based on the original Alternate List published by the tournament,
not a more recent National Standings List, and not in the order in which the
players check in. On-Site Alternates may be admitted into the singles main
draw to replace withdrawing players until the completion of the first round of
play. Any player receiving a bye in the first round can also be replaced by an
on-site alternate in the second round because this player has not yet played a
match in the event. This does not apply to players receiving withdrawals or
retirements as these are considered matches won. On-Site Alternates may not play
in the Feed-In Championship unless they have first played in the singles main
draw.
