e. Qualifying – Withdrawal of a Seed 

If a seeded player withdraws from the Qualifying Draw of a Tournament after the draw has been made, then the next Alternate player eligible to move into the draw takes the open position in the draw. 

## B. SCHEDULING 

## 1. WTA Responsibility 

The Supervisor, in consultation with the Tournament Director, is responsible for match scheduling. All match time requests must go through the Supervisor. 

Match scheduling will take into account relevant factors including television contracts, the possibility and timing of day matches the following day, the actual start time for the night matches, and other relevant factors. 

## 2. Player Obligations 

a. Players will be expected to play when scheduled. Players may be required to play both singles and doubles any day of a Tournament. 

b. Players may also be required to play several night matches in both singles and doubles during a Tournament week. 

c. Players are required to play a minimum of two (2) singles night matches during a Tournament if requested to do so. 

d. When weather or other unavoidable circumstances cause a disruption in the schedule, a player may not be expected to play more than three (3) matches in a day without her consent. 

e. A player must be available to play on the first day of a Tournament unless she played in the singles or doubles final or was competing on the final day of play of a Tournament ending the preceding day. 

f. All players must be prepared to play doubles on the first day of play, regardless of whether or not they have received a bye in singles. 

g. Players may be required to play doubles before singles if necessary due to scheduling difficulties in completing the Tournament in time. 

However, there must be a minimum of two (2) matches scheduled in between the doubles and singles. In no case may there be less than one (1) hour in between matches unless all players agree.
