An element of replacing a seed in a 28 draw event was inadvertently omitted from the published
2014 rulebook. The addition to page 106, Section 7.20, E.b) is noted in italics below:

E. Qualifying started or finished

1) During Qualifying Competition. If a lucky loser position should become avail- able
during the qualifying competition, it shall be treated the same as the qualifying places
for placement in the main draw. If a seeded player or team withdraws after the main
draw has been made but prior to the release of the order of play for the first day of
main draw in that event, the vacancy created by the withdrawal of a seed shall be
filled by the following method:
a) 16/24 (Doubles)/32/48/64 and 96 Draw. The vacancy shall be filled by the next
highest positioned player or team in the main draw eligible to be seeded. The
appropriate lucky loser shall fill the remaining vacancy.
b) 28 Draw. If the vacancy involves a seed #1-4, then seed #5 moves to the
vacated seed position and the next highest positioned player in the main draw
eligible to be seeded shall be placed in the position vacated by the #5 seed. The
appropriate lucky loser shall fill the remaining vacancy. If the vacancy involves
a seed #5-8, then the next highest positioned player in the main draw
eligible to be seeded shall be placed in the vacated seed position. The
appropriate lucky loser shall fill the remaining vacancy.

c) 56 Draw. If the vacancy involves a seed #1-8, then seed #9 moves to the
vacated seed position and the next highest positioned player or team in the
main draw eligible to be seeded shall be placed in the position vacated by the
#9 seed. The appropriate lucky loser shall fill the remaining vacancy. If the
vacancy involves a seed #9-16, then the next highest positioned player or team
in the main draw eligible to be seeded shall be placed in the vacated seed
position. The appropriate lucky loser shall fill the remaining vacancy.
