During this one hour period all lists will be held awaiting a final cut-off for the  affected event. If no substitution is made within this defined time period, then the  next player on the acceptance list shall be moved into the main draw.  * For purposes of determining if the substitute player qualifies as a 1 or 2 seed,  all players including Wild Cards, shall be ranked in order using the most recent  FedEx ATP Rankings. To be eligible for the emergency substitution, the tourna - ment must have declared their Wild Cards to the ATP prior to the withdrawal of the  player that qualified them for the emergency substitution. CASE:  Which FedEx ATP Ranking is used to determine the emer - gency substitution rule? DECISION:  The most recent FedEx ATP Rankings is used to deter - mine the seeding of the withdrawing players as well as the seeding  of the substitute player. CASE:  If a Wild Card player will become one of the tournament’s  top two seeds, can a tournament switch the Wild Card to a substi- tute player if the Wild Card was announced? DECISION:  No, once the Wild Card has been announced, such  player is not eligible to become a substitute player. b) The tournament shall pay prize money equal to that paid first-round losers  to each player who would have been a direct acceptance if not for the late  substitution. This payment shall not apply in the case where the player gained  entry into a main draw singles, at any event, by other means. a) Advance Entry.  12 Noon, Eastern Time, USA, fourteen (14) days prior to the  Monday of the tournament week (or the first tournament week in the case of  tournaments scheduled for more than one (1) week). A team on the alternate  list for the doubles main draw may withdraw at any time prior to such time  that they are moved into the main draw as a direct acceptance because of  withdrawals of other teams. b) Withdrawal Deadline. The deadline for a team to withdraw from the ad - vanced entry list closes at 12 Noon, Eastern Time, USA, on the Friday prior  to the tournament week. c) On-site Entry.  The period for online on-site entries opens at 12:01 am, East - ern Time, USA on the Friday prior to the tournament week and closes at 5:00  pm Eastern Time, USA on the Friday prior to the tournament week. The online  sign-in is blind and no preliminary lists will be produced. Players entering  multiple events in the same week must do so with the same partner and shall  designate tournaments by priority. The number of places available through  the on-site entry is specified in the Composition of Draws (7.08.B) plus any  spots made available through withdrawals occurring after 12 Noon Eastern  Time, USA, on the Friday before the event week. d) Limit to On-site Entry.  A team is allowed entry through the on-site entry  method a maximum of two (2) times per year in events where they would  have been accepted, using their doubles ranking, on the original list in that  event through the Advance Entry system, if they had entered. Case:  A player pulls out of doubles and the partner signs on-site  with another doubles player (doubles/doubles, having a higher rank - 108 109 ing than the advanced entry original cut). Since the new team would  have been in the main draw had they entered in advance, does this  count as 1 of the 2 allowed on-site entries? Decision:  No. In this situation the new team could not have entered  through the advance entry method and therefore the on-site entry  was their only option, this will not count as 1 of the 2 allowed.
