LIMITED DRAWS:
All divisions are limited to 32 players each.

SELECTION PROCESS:
Because this is a Southern Level 3 event, the following Selection Process is being used:

Top 32 players applying from the latest USTA Southern Standings list.
Boys and Girls 12s-18s divisions: 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 players who have been selected will appear as competitors. Alternates are listed in the report section.)

The players will be ordered using the most current Southern standings (rel. March 5), with players from the younger age group that met the seeding requirements included in the player list.

The 32 players will be split as follows:
GREEN DRAW: 1,4,5,8,9,12,13,16,17,20,21,24,25,28,29,32
WHITE DRAW: 2,3,6,7,10,11,14,15,18,19,22,23,26,27,30,31
Seeding will be made after the players have been split.
Players from the lower age group that were selected and meet the seeding criteria will be seeded according to the STA directions.

There will be an Independent Consolation Draw for players who lose in the First Round of the Consolation, and they will play one more round unless there is a bye.

Selection Process:
Players are allowed to enter two age divisions in Southern L3 tournaments, within these guidelines:
#1. Players selected to both age divisions they apply for will automatically be selected in the older age division. They will be removed from the other age division.
#2. Players not selected to either division will remain on the alternates lists for both divisions but would be obligated to play the division they first get in from the alternates list. They will be removed from the Alternates list in the other division.
#3. Players selected to one age division will 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.

>The 3-minute rest period is taken with a match tie break in lieu of the third set format.
>The 3-minute rest period begins at the end of the second set and should be timed by the official. Players must remain on court or in an area adjacent to the court where coaching is permitted.

>A player choosing to take a toilet/change of attire break during the 3-minute rest period waives the right to further coaching.
