SOUTHERN CLOSED: To qualify for
the Southern Closed, a junior player must play the Louisiana State Closed
Junior Qualifying tournament.
a. The four semi-finalists in the
main draw and the winner (5th) and the runner-up (6th) of the consolation
draw are automatically selected. Selection of the remaining eligible
players for LA's quota will be based primarily on a player's tournament
record (national, sectional, and state events for the previous eleven
months) against other Louisiana players in the age division under
consideration. Other factors such as player exposure (number of matches
and events played), head-to-head matches, the caliber of wins and the
player's performance at the LA Qualifier may also be considered. Those
players not endorsed, but who have submitted applications for endorsement,
shall be identified as alternates.
Endorsement criteria for the
Southern Closed
b. Entry to the Southern Closed is
through Tennis Link at www.usta.com.
It is the players’ responsibility to timely enter ONLINE for the Southern
Closed. However, only those players who have timely entered the Southern Closed
online and been endorsed by Louisiana as part of its quota or otherwise
accepted into the draw as alternates, will be allowed to compete in the
Southern Closed. Players are urged to register early so as to allow for LA’s
quota to be filled and alternates moved up accordingly. It is the player’s
responsibility to timely enter online as well as to thereafter inquire as to whether
he or she has been endorsed for the Southern Closed or is accepted into the
draw as an alternate. Endorsement lists will be posted on the LTA web site. No
notification will be given to those players endorsed, as it is each player’s
responsibility to ascertain their status.
