IMPORTANT TOURNAMENT INFORMATION !
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.

SEEDINGS
Seedings shall be done using only the results from the most recently publicized USTA Southern Combined Standings Lists of the division in the order in which players appear on the lists. Doubles Seeding: Teams shall be seeded in the order of their combined standings (e.g., Player A holds the #1 standing and Player B holds the #10 standing. The Team of A & B would have combined standing of 11.) Teams that have the same combined standing, the tie shall be broken by using the highest singles standing of the four players.

SELECTION PROCESS

They would be removed from the other age division. #2.
