On May 22, Choate
Rosemary Hall hosted the New England Prep School Invitational Tennis Tournament (NEPSITT).
Although this event has been around for over forty years, in 1999 the format was changed
in the hopes that the event will become a showcase for the very best singles and
doubles players in all New England prep schools. Rather than limiting the field to players
from only sixteen schools as in the past, beginning in 1999 nominations were solicited
from all NEPSAC schools in order to assemble the best possible field for this event. The tournament field was limited to twelve singles players and eight doubles teams. Among the criteria considered in determining invitations and seeding were: (a) 1999 win-loss record; (b) quality of schedule; (c) head-to-head results; (d) total number of matches played; and (e) any other available information. Those of us involved in the planning of this event hope that the new format will constitute an exciting development in the history of the NEPSITT. Moreover, since the girls' team coaches have expressed a desire to move their team tournament a week earlier, we imagine the NEPSITT may be expanded to include female athletes next spring, which would truly make it a showcase for the very best tennis players in our schools. |
