Three lists, three jobs
| List | What's in it | What it decides |
|---|---|---|
| National Standings List | 6 best singles + 15% of 6 best doubles | Who gets into the tournament |
| Singles seeding list | 6 best singles only | Where a junior is seeded |
| Doubles seeding list | 6 best doubles only | Selection for the national doubles championships |
An example
A junior's 6 best singles results add up to 856, and their 6 best doubles results to 364. Their National Standings List total is 856 + 15% of 364, which is 856 + 55 = 911.
The 911 is what gets them into a tournament that picks by ranking. The 856 is what seeds them. Their doubles are worth 55 points toward getting in and nothing toward their seed.
When they update
Both lists publish at least monthly, and in practice weekly, on Wednesdays.
