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
WITHDRAWALS (FLIGHTED EVENTS)
If there is a withdrawal after the draw has been published, the spot will be replaced by the next alternate, assuming that the alternate does not invalidate the seeds or the draw (i.e. an alternate with a strong WTN going into a flight that is weaker than the one they would have originally gone into would invalidate the draw). If there is no alternate, the match will be coded as a walkover.
The director's own notes, as published on USTA. Ace reads these too.
