Before the tournament has begun, a substitution may be made in a school tennis doubles or mixed doubles team but not in singles. A school may not substitute for a singles player, an entire doubles team or an entire mixed doubles team. The alternate single, doubles or mixed doubles must be used. If at all possible, call the regional director prior to Friday, April 17, regarding changes in doubles or mixed doubles teams. Other doubles or mixed doubles substitutes may be permitted before beginning the tournament by notifying the site director.  

Reminder: Substitutions may be made for illness, injury, academic ineligibility or if a student is penalized by the school for misconduct or violation of the code of conduct.
 
SEEDING
The regional tournament director will be using seeding and draw. 
We will seed 4 entries per draw. If you want to have your player or doubles team seeded, please bring the following information:  

• Their win-loss record (wins over other players or teams at the tournament)
• USTA ranking/Universal Tennis Rating (UTR)
• Anything to help determine who should be seeded
• Head Coaches will vote to determine the 4 seeds

** Four players/teams will be seeded in each event; an additional 2 players/teams will be placed in the draw by vote of the coaches. The remaining players will be drawn by lot and placed in the draw. District champions will be drawn and placed first, then runners-up will be drawn and placed.
