Qualifying draws are normally for 16 players, but for the weeks like Sydney & Auckland (when there's no challengers) the quallies will be extended to 32 players.
Min. number of commitments for a tournament to be run
A TT tournament must have at least 16 players committed for it to be run. If this number isn't reached before 2nd the deadline, the players signed-up can move to the other tournaments held the same week without being marked as late entries. Doubles tournament needs to have atleast 8 teams committed to be run.
Lucky Loser System
LL's just like in the ATP, except the order of lucky losers will be determined with the 'old' system (Final round most correct picks, # of correct SR's, SR shootout, PTS, previous round most correct picks, # of correct SR's, SR shootout, PTS, ...)
Round 1 lucky losers (Main draw and qualifying)
When both players/teams in a match fail to send picks AND there are no alternates or lucky losers to replace them, the loser with best score in this round will take their spot in the following round as a lucky loser. This rule is valid only in first rounds (main draw or qualifying).
* When the first and the second round (qualifying or main draw) are played on the same day, the loser with the best score in the first round will take the spot of a player/team which receives a bye to the second round but fails to send picks.

How to place Alternates and Lucky Losers in case players forget to send picks in?
They should be placed randomly.
If there are more spots than alternates/Lucky Losers:
- Check if there are matches where both players didn't send picks. If so, the manager should place a LL there, so there is no win by Ranking.
- After that, place all Lucky Losers in a way that the best ranked players (entry list rankings) go through to the next round, getting a W/O.
- After that, if there are any alternates or lucky losers placed against a player/team who didn't send picks, the draw should be adjusted in order to give the byes to the best ranked players who enter the draw directly. The alternates and lucky losers should play their first round matches against the opponents of the players who were given the byes. Example:
1st round
Player A (ranked #1) vs Player B (ranked #8)
Player C (ranked #2) vs Player D (ranked #5)
Player E (ranked #3) vs Player F (ranked #7)
Player G (ranked #4) vs Player H (ranked #6)
Player I (ranked #5) vs Player J (ranked #10)
Alternates:
#1 Player K (ranked #11)
#2 Player L (ranked #12)
Problem: Players C, D, E and F didn't send picks.
After steps #1 & #2, the draw changes to:
Player A (1) vs Player B (8)
Player C (2) vs Player L (ALT)
Player E (3) vs Player K (ALT)
Player G (4) vs Player H (6)
Player I (5) vs Player J (10)
Players A, B, G, H, I & J, who already were in the draw, would have to play a valid match while Players K & L would advance directly to the 2nd round.
Step #3: the two best ranked players who didn't receive byes and already were in the draw (Players A & G) are given the byes. Their opponents are placed against the two alternates:
Player A (1) vs bye
Player H (8) vs Player L (ALT)
Player B (6) vs Player K (ALT)
Player G (4) vs bye
Player I (5) vs Player J (10)
How to place byes in a TT draw?
The byes are always given to the best ranked players (entry list rankings). After the manager places the seeded players and their byes, if there is still need for more byes, they should be given to the highest-ranked players that aren't seeded.
What is needed for an alternate or Lucky Loser doubles team to replace another doubles team in a qualifying/main draw?
If one player of a team doesn't send in picks, it is enough to replace them for an alternate/LL.
Note: both players must have sent picks to be able to get in the draw as alternates/LLs.
Is it possible to change tournaments after the second deadline?
Yes if the qualifying draws have not been posted yet*.
*No changes (withdrawals) allowed after the draws are made. Alternates can still be added to the bottom of alt list, ordered by commitment time.
How are LLs chosen?
1) Losers of qualifying final round (Final round most correct picks, # of correct SR's, SR shootout, PTS, previous round most correct picks, # of correct SR's, SR shootout, PTS...)
2) Losers of the previous round (Previous round most correct picks, # of correct SR's, SR shootout, PTS, ...)
After making the qualifying draw, a vacancy occurs in the main draw. How is the vacancy filled?
If the qualifying competition has begun, the vacancy is filled by the eligible lucky loser. If the qualifying competition has not begun, the vacancy is filled by the next player on the alternate list.
