USTA So Cal staff will select 30 top NSL and up to 2 Wild Cards. USTA So Cal staff and Tournament Director will determine the Wild Cards. Doubles seedings will be the combined singles WTN of the two players. Ties in combined doubles WTN will be broken using combined NSL of the two players. Doubles Selection Memo

Players who have advanced to the second round of the main draw via bye then lose in the second round
Players who have advanced to the third round of the main draw via double-bye then lose in the third round.

Flighted Draws
This tournament will accept a maximum of 32 players per age division and utilize the flighted draw format. Players 1-16 will be flighted into the first flight, 17-32 into the second flight based on World Tennis Number (WTN). This means there will be more level-based play within each flight. Selection will be based on National Standings List (NSL) and seeding within each flight will be by WTN. If it's not a full draw, we will split the draws evenly. For example: There are 18 players in a division. Draw A will have 9 players and Draw B will have 9 players.
The director's own notes, as published on USTA. Ace reads these too.
