h) Lucky Losers Players who have lost in the final round of the Qualifying competition and fill an opening in the first round of the Main Draw. If more Lucky Losers are required for substitutions then those players losing in the previous Qualifying rounds shall also fill the openings in the Main Draw. If a Lucky Loser position should become available during the Qualifying competition, the position shall be treated the same as Qualifying places for placement in the Draw. Lucky Losers (singles and doubles) must be present and sign-in 30 minutes prior to the scheduled start of play. Lucky Losers must sign-in within 30 minutes of the completion of the last Qualifying match when last round and first round Main Draw matches are played on the same day. If a player is forced to retire from her final round of Qualifying, due to illness or injury, she will retain her Lucky Loser status provided she receives medical clearance from the Tournament Doctor. If a Lucky Loser is accepted into the Draw, but when called is not available to play, she forfeits her place and the next Lucky Loser will be called immediately to take the open spot. Once a Lucky Loser forfeits, she is no longer eligible for Lucky Loser status for that event. If a player does not sign up for Lucky Loser status one day, she may still sign up on the next day. i) Special Exempt A player who applies for and receives exemption from the Qualifying event because she is still competing in singles at a “Qualified Tournament” on the day the Qualifying event begins. A Special Exempt position is only available for entered players on the Qualifying Acceptance list. A “Qualified Tournament” is defined as follows: - For $10,000 tournaments: the singles event of any ITF Women’s Circuit or any WTA tournament within the same continent in the preceding week; - For $25,000 tournaments: the singles event of any ITF Women’s Circuit tournament with prize money of $25,000 or higher or any WTA tournament within the same continent in the preceding week; - For $50,000 tournaments: the singles event of any ITF Women’s Circuit tournament with prize money of $50,000 or higher or any WTA tournament within the same continent in the preceding week; - For $75,000 and $100,000 tournaments: the singles event of any ITF Women’s Circuit tournament with prize money of $75,000 or higher or any WTA tournament within the same continent in the preceding week. Special Exempt status shall not be available for doubles players. Players eligible to and who wish to apply for Special Exempt status must do so by personally notifying the ITF Supervisor, either verbally or in writing, prior to the Qualifying Sign-in deadline. 40
If there are insufficient Special Exempt places in the Main Draw for all applicants, the players shall be selected according to the ranking from Monday seven (7) days before the tournament week. Unsuccessful applicants will not be penalised under the Late Withdrawal/Non-Appearance provisions of the Code of Conduct. If no requests for Special Exempt status are received prior to the Qualifying Sign-In deadline, such places shall be taken by Direct Acceptances. If prior to the Entry Deadline it is established that there will be no Special Exempt places because there are no “Qualified Tournaments” in the week preceding the Tournament, then the places reserved in the Main Draw for Special Exempts shall become places for Direct Acceptances and will be indicated as such on the Acceptance List. 6. ENTRIES AND WITHDRAWALS All players applying for entry in singles and doubles shall be deemed to apply for entry into the Main Draw or the Qualifying depending on her ranking by the applicable System of Merit. a) Singles i) A player may apply for entry into one (1) but not more than six (6) tournaments in a given calendar week, in which case she must indicate a priority. If no priority is stated, the ITF will assign a priority. (See Appendix D – for Entry and Withdrawal Procedures) ii) The Entry Deadline is at 14:00 hrs Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) on the Thursday eighteen (18) days prior to the Monday of the Tournament week. Entries for “Main Draw Only” shall be considered for $50,000, $75,000 and $100,000 tournaments. iii) All entries and withdrawals must be submitted online through the IPIN Online Service or in writing on the Official Entry or Withdrawal Form and sent to the ITF by fax or post. Emails are not accepted. See Appendix D for Entry and Withdrawal Procedures. iv) All entries are subject to the Regulations and Conditions of Entry stated in Appendix D – Entry Procedures. Written entries must be signed by the player and must contain the required information. v) An Alternate can appear on more than one Alternate list and is not committed to play in any one tournament unless she moves into a Main Draw or Qualifying Acceptance list prior to the Freeze Deadline, in which case she will be removed from all other lists. 41
