Players must notify the Junior Player Development Manager if they play in one of these events. National Championships, National Opens, Copper Bowl and National Team events will automatically be included.

Combined Rankings start January 1, 2008 - Singles and Doubles Standings will use a Combined Ranking. This combined ranking will be based on a player's best Six (6) tournaments played in the last twelve (12) months.
