7.20 Lucky Losers, Substitutions and Vacancies
A. Lucky Loser Selection
A player may be entered in the main draw of a tournament if he meets the criteria outlined for a lucky loser.
1) Lucky losers are players who have lost in the final round of the qualifying event or, if more lucky losers are required, those players who have lost in the previous qualifying round(s). The lucky losers shall be selected on the basis of their position on the South African Airways ATP Rankings (singles) list (protected ranking is not considered) used for the determination of qualifying seeding; that is, the lucky loser with the highest entry ranking position shall be the first inserted into the main draw and so forth. Only those accepted into the qualifying competition may sign in as lucky losers.
2) The lucky loser list shall be posted each day at least one (1) hour before the signin deadline, which shall be one-half (1/2) hour before the first scheduled match of the day. If rain or other disruptions occur, then the supervisor can change the deadline as appropriate. Such list shall not be available for sign-in on the preceding day. All lucky loser sign-in deadlines must be placed on each dayââ¬â¢s schedule of play.
3) The sign-in for doubles lucky losers or alternates shall follow the same procedures as the sign-in for singles lucky losers or alternates. One member of a lucky loser team may sign in for the team. If there is no qualifying competition, substitutions shall come from the alternate list of teams not accepted directly into the main draw and shall follow the acceptance procedures outlined above. In either case, only substitutions of the originally paired teams are permitted. If two (2) or more positions become available at the same time during the preceding period, the positions to be occupied shall be determined by drawing.
a) There shall be one alternate sign-in sheet that will have all eligible alternate teams listed.
b) The system of merit is based on the same method as used in the system of merit for entry.
