university.
2. Distribution of byes. Byes shall be distributed among the seeded players
in the order of their seeding. If the number of byes exceeds the number
of seeded players and if less than one player for each four lines on the

player for each four lines on the draw sheet had been seeded. Any
remaining byes shall be placed as provided in the USTA Regulations.
