The Glasgow ITF entry list is a mess.
You have players in qualifying spots that are also on the ITF alts list.....
Evan Hoyt, Sisljing are on both and there are more...

That's how it's meant to work. Players with an ITF ranking are only removed from the ITF reserved alt list if they are in the main draw. If they are in qualifying they can still take an ITF reserved place in the main draw if they are the highest ITF ranked player not already in the main draw.

Any chance you could repost this in English please ?
PS. That's a dig at the convoluted system, not at you, I hasten to add.

There are reserved places in the main draw for ITF ranked players. There is an alt list for players to take up those spots if someone drops out, based on ITF rankings. The players stay on the alt list right up to the draw, but can also already be in qualifying (due to ATP ranking), so can appear in more than one list.
And just to add to the confusion, players can be in the ITF alt list and the main alt list for the same reasons ............

not dissimilar to how the main ATP tour worked/still works. eg Cam Norrie was top of the qualies list for a number of the South American clay court list and also appeared a few spots down the alt list - he could have moved up the alt list and gotten into the main draw at some stage, alas in Cordoba and Buenos Aires that didnt happen but he stayed as top of the qualies (albeit I guess in his case it was also due to timing of when the various lists for qualies and alts/main draw are made up and his relative ranking at the time)
Does the LTA have some sort of arrangement with the Gulf associations on wild cards in exchange for coaching support for example. I can just picture Boris Johnson back in the day negotiating with some Emirati Sheikh responsible for sport and agreeing wild cards for Emily W-S and Eden Silva, etc in exchange for 100 hours of coaching from Jeremy Bates and Andrew Castle
Dan Evans is seeded 6 in delray qualies, plays koepfer. Main draw has delpo and Isner in it. Dan is 3rd on court 4 tomorrow after a 4 pm gmt start time, so maybe 8 pm start
