How is Seeding Determined?
The seeding for doubles is based on the current Champs Standing List (rank position, not points) in each age group. The standing of both players were combined to create a team ranking. For example, if one player is #4 on the standing list and another player is #28, their combined ranking is 32. Teams are placed in order based on this combined ranking. The lower the total ranking, the higher the seeding.Ties are broken by having the highest ranked individual player's team receiving the higher seed.

First-off Consolation – All Challengers and CMZs use the First Off Consolation Format. This format will show as Single Elimination on the tournament homepage, but all players are guaranteed two matches. This format eliminates “maybe matches” and almost every player in consolation will play their first consolation match on Saturday. How does it work? Players that lose in the main draw will be fed into the consolation draw in the order that they come off the court (i.e. the first player to come off the court will go on line one, the sixth player to come off the court will go on line six). This new format ensures more players playing on Saturday and an overall better tournament.

Excessive Overrule Guideline: The USTA Texas Officials Committee along with the Competitive Department has established a guideline in reference to excessive overrules as clarified in the Friend at Court. This guideline states "Once a player has been overruled for a second time in a match, they will be cautioned that after another overrule, they will be penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct under the point penalty system."
