All players must have an LTA Advantage membership number and an ITF World Tennis Number as outlined below, at the time of the event they're competing in.
· 14U Singles: 32.0-40.9
· 18U Doubles: 28.0-40.9
· 19+ Doubles: 25.0-40.9
A player’s singles ITF World Tennis Number will be used for the singles pathway and player's doubles ITF World Tennis Number will be used for the doubles pathway.
Once a player has won a venue stage event, they automatically qualify for the County Finals (singles) or Area Finals (doubles) and should no longer compete in another venue stage event in the relevant pathway.
Junior players can enter the singles and/or doubles pathway for the Play Your Way to Wimbledon tournament, with separate competitions for boys and girls. However, players will only be able to compete in one event at the National Finals i.e. if they make it through to the National Finals in both the singles and doubles, they will need to decide which one they compete in, and withdraw from the other (this will impact their partner if they withdraw from the doubles).
