• Juniors are eligible - 80 points to send. I believe they are useless for teams with enough players
• A team must have one Pro player.
• You are welcome to create Geographical/Continental Teams (like Balkans last year, so we don't have a team with only one coach and his two players or one coach with a computer player).

Examples: Baltic States (Letonia/Estonia), Asia, Russia/Belarus or Belarus/Uzbekistan...

* Entry List Deadline: MONDAY, February 22nd - 21h GMT

* Draw will then be posted.

* Captains must pick surface and location by WEDNESDAY, February 24th - 21h GMT

* Deadline to send your points: FRIDAY, February 26th - 21h PM GMT. You must send points for your captain. Only captains can send points (to @Broseghini)

Great addition for our team @Shankitova

 

[Joseosu19]

Benedetti will play with a junior for Italy if allowed.

Otherwise, if someone wants to move to Italy?

And if not she will sit out of Fed Cup for the first time ever, provided she doesn’t lose Olympic eligibility.

 

[Mateo Mathieu]

Vittoria Perez will also sit out of Fed Cup. There's no point playing with a junior player.
