SUNDAY, 12:30 P.M. UPDATE
Here's the deal. We feel that the courts will be dry closer to 3 p.m. than 2 p.m. However, if we don't start at 2 p.m., we may not be able to finish doubles which I had hoped. So here's what I am going to do. Let's leave the schedule as posted with no delay. If you can get here early and help we will appreciate it. So all matches are on as scheduled. I will update you again at 1:00 p.m. to let you know how I feel about a 2 p.m. start.

Using the latest USTA/Southern standing list, the top 32 players applying from each age group will be selected by the Southern Section office. -- 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. Selections will be posted at 6 p.m. on Thursday, March 2. 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.

The 32 players were split as follows: Red 1,4,5, 8,9,12,13,16,17,20,21,24,25,28,29,32. Blue 2,3, 6,7,10,11,14,15,18,19,22,23,26,27,30,31
