There was a team inadvertently left out of the G16 Doubles draws. Please note the changes to the draw.

All draws are posted. PLEASE READ THE IMPORTANT INFORMATION BELOW ! See you this weekend !

Please take note of the following VERY important tournament information. The more you read, the more you know !!
1) In this tournament we PLAY EARLY & we PLAY LATE. This is just the way it is with 250 kids playing singles and doubles over 2.5 days on INDOOR courts. We use a full 2.5 days to complete the tournament, not 1.5 days, so be ready to play early and play late BOTH days on Saturday & Sunday.

2) The benefit of playing indoors is we are GUARANTEED to not have any RAIN DELAYS and courts are climate controlled (not too hot or too cold) and we will complete the tournament, so it is a little give and take aspect of indoor tournament play of this level with this many people with the late match schedule. Basically, we have done this for several years now and this is the way it has to be for indoors.

3) We are using 5 sites !! A couple of the sites are NEW to the tournament this year. Please note the sites and abbreviations on the draw. Along with your match time, this is EXTREMELY important as we cannot help you if you show up at the wrong site. It is YOUR responsibility to be at the proper site on time. Sites are listed below.

4) If you have any tournament questions please TEXT (502) 439-8312 or EMAIL cmather@springhurst.com. DO NOT CALL ! Your call will not be returned.

5) If you must withdraw we need it in writing. Please email or text with that withdrawal information.

The Kentucky Junior Indoor is a Southern Level 3 tournament for the FIFITH time. Thanks for your continued support as we grow this tournament !!!

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 division 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 would be removed from the alternate list of the division they were not selected. #4. Once a player is selected for any one division no changes can be made.

The top 32 players applying from each age group will be selected by the Southern Section office, from the latest USTA/Southern standing list -- 28 players from the age group will be selected and up to 4 players from the younger age group that have a top 40 standing and are not in the selected 28. Each group of 32 players selected from each age group will be divided into two draws of 16 each. We will be using the waterfall system to make sure each of the two 16 draws are balanced by strength.
