Entry fee, play history and team roster will be the only items needed for the initial sign-up (pre-registration). Teams will be able to change roster up until March 8, 2012. After this date roster will be frozen and changes can only be made with approval from tournament co-director (Valerie McCutchan). Enrollment verification forms will be sent via email to team reps on March 13. This form will need all participants’ signatures, and must also be signed by sport club director and the university registrar.

Teams must qualify at their USTA TOC Sectional Championship or received a bid from another TOC tournament. For more information, contact Valerie McCutchan.

Qualifying:
Each USTA TOC Sectional Championship has a set number of bids, please review for dates of your TOC section event. Only one team per school will be allowed in the Championship.

Tournament Format:
WORLD TEAMTENNIS format. Teams will play “Round Robin” or “Pool Play” and then advance into bracket play. Teams are guaranteed six matches. ALL TEAMS WILL HAVE MATCHES ON SATURDAY.

Matches:
A match consists of five no-ad sets and includes men’s singles and doubles, women’s singles and doubles and one mixed doubles.

Game Scoring:
Each no-ad set is won by the first team to reach six games. A nine-point tiebreaker will be played at five games all in any set.

Rules:
