ON-SITE ALTERNATES
On-Site Alternates are those players on the alternate list who have come to the tournament site to be a last-minute replacement for a withdrawing player. *On each day (Saturday for Austin NATS) in which alternates may be admitted to the draw, any alternate desiring admittance must check-in and be ready for play no later than 15 minutes prior to the first scheduled match time of the event for which they are an alternate. *The order of the alternates is based on the Original Alternates List published by the tournament, not a more recent National Standings List, and not in the order in which the players check in. On-Site Alternates may be admitted in the singles main draw to replace withdrawing players until the completion of the first round of play. Any player receiving a BYE in the first round can also be replaced by an on-site alternate in the second round because this player has not yet played a match in the event. This does not apply to players receiving a retirement as this is considered a match won. On-Site Alternates may not play in the Feed-In-Championship unless they have first played in the singles main draw.
