Change in criteria - Oceania B2 ITF Junior Event

Friday, 30 June 2023

The Oceania Closed Junior B2 Tournament (OCJC) have recently confirmed a change in the criteria and draw size in 2023. With the increase in draw size there will no longer be allocated places per nation in main draw other than wildcards. This brings the acceptance system into line with the Asia/Oceania J300 event normally held in Korea.

The eligibility remains the same - players must hold a passport of an Oceania nation to play the OCJC and they must enter online by the deadline.

Singles - 48 main draw comprising:

29 highest ITF Junior ranked entered players, irrespective of Oceania nation 

13 Main Draw Wildcards allocation: 

  • 7 x Pacific Oceania Nations 
  • 4 x Australia 
  • 2 x New Zealand 

6 qualifiers

Singles Qualifying - 24 qualifying draw 

  • 20 direct acceptances on ITF Junior ranking 
  • 4 Qualifying Wildcards 
  • 2 x Pacific Oceania Nations 
  • 1 x Australia 
  • 1 x New Zealand 

An alternate list will be made of other entries in ITF ranking order. Any WC places not taken will be re-allocated by OTF. 

Doubles – 32 Teams 

  • 28 direct acceptances on ITF Junior ranking 
  • 4 Wildcards 
  • 2 x Pacific Oceania Nations 
  • 1 x Australia 
  • 1 x New Zealand 

Players must be entered in singles in order to play doubles. 

In order to adapt to these changes, a change in our selection policy has been required, you can read the details regarding these changes under Selection Policies here.
