Acceptances & Match Times

Due to the large number of entries, some competitors are initially placed on a reserves list. There are always a number of withdrawals  and it is expected that many reserves will eventually be accepted to the  draw.

Any player still listed as a reserve when the match times are released should send their contact details to the relevant Tournament Referee. Any reserve that becomes unavailable should notify 果冻视频 via the same procedures as initially accepted competitors

Prior to the release of first match times, the Event Director may, where possible, also email the player directly using their BTM profile contact details to notify them of their acceptance to the draw. Therefore, those players with British Tennis Membership are strongly encouraged to check the contact information on their LTA profile is correct to ensure event information is sent to the appropriate address. In the rare case that a player is not registered for BTM, 果冻视频 may attempt to contact the player’s Athletic Union directly.

Acceptances and first match times for all competitions will be published on the Tennis page of the 果冻视频 website. Draws will be released the Thursday prior to the Doubles Championship Finals to ensure that, as much as possible, we maintain accurate seeding, while teams from the same institutions are split throughout the draws, after any withdrawals are received. Match information will also be sent to the players’ registered email addresses for those with British Tennis Membership (BTM) numbers*.
