ALTERNATES LISTS and ALTERNATES ENTRY POLICY
The new update now only includes those who have written us asking to remain on the list, and whose checks are being 'held' (will be returned or destroyed if the player does not get in - please advise after the tournament). Your new alternate 'number' can be determined by counting those ahead of you on that list. If we have made an error, please notify us in writing via email: Remember that we issued notice that Nov. 12th was the deadline to let us know. The good/bad news is that we have had NO withdrawals from Main Draw players since entries closed. We appreciate the commitment of the players, and apologize to those of you hoping for the opposite. At this point we expect only to hear from those with last-minute injuries or illnesses.

DOUBLES

We will try to find you a partner if you let us know. Draws will be made Wed., Nov. 23 at 8 PM and will be posted at the sites in the morning before your singles matches on the first day. If you have entered with someone who was not selected to the tournament, you will not have a partner unless you find someone else and/or let us know. CHECK THE ENTRY LIST for doubles to be sure you are paired with someone -- or we can not enter you in the draw!
