The
Tournament Committee determined tournament berths and seeding based on
the following criteria: 2017 win-loss record, record within class, quality
of schedule, head-to-head results, results against common opponents,
total number of matches played, meeting
the .500 record minimum standard, and any other available
information.
In accordance with ITA and USTA rules, as found in the publication Friend At Court, a tournament may seed one team for every four entered and place one additional team per four entered. Placed teams were assigned to the top and bottom halves of the draw at random. |
In
the team tournament, all team matches are played using the 7-point intercollegiate
format,
consisting of three doubles pro-sets collectively worth one point followed
by six best-of-three-sets singles matches each worth a point. Because of the tournament format, once the
doubles point is decided,
teams should commence singles play immediately, abandoning the final
doubles pro-set, if necessary. Once the team result is decided, the remaining
singles matches may be abandoned. For more information about this format,

Tennis
balls. All
participating teams should bring nine unopened cans of balls to the first
round matches on Saturday morning. The first matches will be played using
one school's tennis balls. The losing team keeps the used match balls and
the winning team will keep the unopened cans for the next round. This
process will be repeated for the semifinals and final.
Hot start. Players should be prepared to warm up for all matches with teammates, then after doubles introductions spin the racquet and immediately serve to begin the first point without further warm up. Once the doubles point is decided, singles matches must begin promptly. Players may take up to three minutes to warm up if they have not just finished playing doubles. Match intervals. Coaches should use common sense in ensuring a suitable interval before semifinal play should quarterfinal matches run long. Mutual consent. As there will not necessarily be an official nor a site director at each venue, coaches will need to work together to resolve any difficulties. At each venue, the coach and/or athletic director (or their designate) of the hosting school have the final decision relating to playing conditions and scheduling. |
