| Tournament Format: The USTA National Campus Championship uses the World TeamTennis format. A match consists of five no-ad sets and includes men's singles and doubles, women's singles and doubles, and mixed doubles. 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. Teams will play "Round Robin"/"Pool Play" and then advance into bracket play. Teams are guaranteed four matches (if the tournament limit of 64 teams is reached). | ||

The first way is to earn an automatic bid through their respective USTA Section; contact your USTA Section's Tennis On Campus Coordinator for more information specific to your USTA Section. The second way is by securing an at-large/first-come, first-serve bid. For more information on entry priority and at-large/first-come, first-serve bids, please see above. Only one team per school will be granted a berth into the Championship. | ||
