Selection Process/Seeding
USTA Southern will provide selection list. Players will be selected directly from the USTA Southern Standing list in the age division in which they apply. Players will no longer be considered for selection based on their lower age division standings. Seeding: Seeding shall follow the USTA-Southern Section seeding regulations and will be provided by Southern with the selection list. The names of the player who have been selected will appear as competitors. Alternates are listed in the report section. Do not refer to the alternates on the far left side of the web page after competitors have been listed. (That list is not updated). 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 are removed from the other age division. #2 Players not selected to either divisions would remain on the alternates lists for both divisions but would be obligated top play the division they first get in from the alternates 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 alternates' list of the division they were not selected. #4. Once a player is selected for any one division no changes can be made.
