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.

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

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
