Format: This is a 3-round tournament: Each match is 6 singles and 3 doubles. Doubles is an 8-game pro-set, add scoring. Singles is best 2 out of 3 sets--add scoring--10 point tiebreaker in place of a third set. Coaches may change their lineups from match to match; however, the lineup must be made in order of strength--no stacking.

​

Coaching: coaches may teach/coach between points; however, coaches are not to disrupt the pace of play.

​

​

​

Miscellaneous: Travel between sites will be kept to a minimum. Each team provides half the balls for each match, which they then keep. Official tournament t-shirts will be available throughout the event. All teams are expected to complete the tournament; a team may elect to not play beyond the clinching score. Teams are required to eat on-site or as they travel; you will not have time to go “out” for lunch—send someone to pick up food, or bring a cooler. 

  

Rain Planning: If rain is likely for Friday and Saturday, then the tournament will be cancelled late Thursday evening. If play is cancelled on Friday due to rain, then 3 rounds will be played on Saturday; if three rounds are played on Saturday, the first two will play "fast 4" for the singles for the first two rounds; the doubles will remain the same. 

​

Seeding Information: Please send seeding information at least one week before the event along with avoidance requests.
