Notes

In the singles competition the players will be drawn in order to be the same number of players from one state in every basic group. The players won't be seed in any other way.

In play-off the player has to win 4 games, in the little play-off 3 games.

In the junior competition won't be any matches for 9.-18. place. The system would be too complicated and there are no play-offs for bottom half of the table in other sports.

Juniors and women can arrive on Saturday.
