- Scheduling
If you are limited on courts, you may choose to schedule one court per team match and begin with the doubles, then play each singles match back to back.
- Popular Alternate List Best Practice
If a selected player withdraws after entries close, the remaining partner must immediately contact the Tournament Director to make arrangements for a period of time to be determined by the Tournament Director to find a replacement partner. The time permitted will depend on the proximity to the start of the tournament. If the remaining player does not wish to play or find a replacement partner, the next alternate team shall be moved into the draw. A replacement partner can be any eligible player so long as the new pairing must have a combined standing higher than the #1 alternate team in order to be placed in the draw. All withdrawals require written verification pursuant to USTA Regulations.
