Entry Selection
All teams for Grand Prix and Challenger draws will be registered/waitlisted in one pool of teams. The draw size for the Grand Prix is 32 and the draw size of the Challenger will be an additional 32 teams. All teams who do not qualify for Grand Prix based on combined NRT points will remain on the waitlist and then placed in the Challenger draw based on combined NRT points. When the number of teams on the waitlist exceeds the number of available spots and there is a tie in ranking (either matching NRT points or no NRT points) for the last available spot or spots, the team(s) with the lowest combined PTI will be moved into the tournament. All teams will be notified of entry status on Monday, February 3rd. Seeding for the Grand Prix draw will be by NRT points, seeding for the Challenger draw will be by PTI.

If no wild card spots are used, the draw will be filled out by the next eligible team/s.
