Selection for Singles Draw: Players will be selected as follows:

• Players from National Standings List. Up to 20 players will be selected from the most recently published National Standings List of the division, in the order in which their names appear on the list.

• WTN Ratings. Only those players who have a WTN with a high degree of confidence (as indicated by a dark blue check mark next to the WTN) will be selected using this step. Up to 12 players with the highest WTNs will be selected, provided a player’s WTN is higher than the lowest rated player selected under step #1 above. (See Regulation 5.B. for information on how players are ordered.)

• Vacancies and Alternates . If vacancies remain, players will be selected from the National Standings List used to select players in the order in which their names appear on the list. Alternates will also be ordered in the same manner. The Alternate List will be used to replace players who withdraw from the main draw.

Selection for Doubles Draw: Teams will be selected as follows:

• All players selected for singles and singles alternates are eligible to be selected for doubles, regardless of whether they registered as a team with another player by the Registration Deadline.

• Teams will be selected in the following order: 1) Teams comprising two players in the singles draw will be accepted; 2) Teams comprising one player in the singles draw and one player not in the singles draw; 3) Teams comprising two players not in the singles draw. If there is a tie in one of these steps, selection order is based first, on highest combined standings using the most recently published Individual Doubles Seeding List; and second, if there is a tie, the team with the player that has the highest combined doubles standing on the list shall be selected first, except that no Late Entry and no team comprised of a Late Entry will be selected before a team comprised of timely applicants.

• Combined Standing: The combined standing of a team is the addition of both teammates' positions on the Individual Doubles Seeding List. For example, if Player A is the #200 player on the list and Player B is the #201 player on the list, the Team of A&B would have the combined standing of 401.
