There will be no quality points on the junior tour.
★ Doubles
Doubles will only be played at the 4 Grand Slams of the year
★ Entering Tournaments
1 week prior to an event beginning, a sign-up thread for that tournament will be created. If you wish to play in the event, sign-up in the thread. There will be no entry lists or commitment threads on the Junior Tour™.
★ Tournament Limit
Juniors do not have a limit on the amount of tournaments they can play. Be mindful of the fact though that only your 10 best singles results will count towards your ranking.
★ Schedule
The junior schedule will follow the real ITF junior tour, incorporating GA, B1, G1, G2, G3, G4 and G5 events.
The Junior Tour™ schedule can be found here: http://wtaworld.com/showthread.php?t=311317
★ How To Turn Pro
At the conclusion of each GA event, the top 2 ranked juniors have the option of turning Pro, and joining the Pro Tour™ . Once your junior has turned Pro, you have the option of coaching another junior. Again, you don't have to, but the option is there.
★ Junior Exempts
When juniors turn pro after the GA events, they receive Special Exempts onto the pro circuit. Which means, they have 3 events of their choice where they automatically are entered into the Main Draw.
The #1 ranked junior receives - Automatic Main Draw entry into: 3 x Tier I of their choice.
The #2 ranked junior receives - Automatic Main Draw entry into: 3 x Tier II of their choice.
May I have your Attention on the Following: The Game will Start in Mid September, in no possible case Earlier. This Sign-up Thread is for you to choose a player and to have the maximum amount of players at the Beginning of the game.
