a.
The four semi-finalists in the main draw and the winner (5th) and the
runner-up (6th) of the consolation draw are automatically selected.
Selection of the remaining eligible players for LA's quota will be based
primarily on a player's tournament record (national, sectional, and state
events for the previous eleven months) against other Louisiana players in the
age division under consideration. Other factors such as player exposure
(number of matches and events played), head-to-head matches, the caliber
of wins and the player's performance at the LA Qualifier may also be considered.
Those players not endorsed, but who have submitted applications for
endorsement, shall be identified as alternates.

responsibility to timely enter ONLINE for the Southern Closed. However, only
those players who have timely entered the Southern Closed online and been
endorsed by Louisiana as part of its quota or otherwise accepted into the draw
as alternates, will be allowed to compete in the Southern Closed. Players are
urged to register early so as to allow for LA’s quota to be filled and
