I'll add some shading to this.
At the senior level, the top two singles players play singles (2 matches each), and the top two double players play the doubles match.
At the junior level, the tournaments are broken out into 18U, 16U, and 15U divisions. I can't tell you exactly what gets non-competing teams in and out, but note that a player might compete at different levels of JTCs over the course of his junior career.
As for selection for JTCs... the top three eligible players (determined by overall juniors ranking) for a nation's JTC squad have the following responsibilities: #1--2 singles matches, #s 2 & 3--1 singles match, 1 doubles match.
