• 🏆Tournament Format Toggle content

  The NCAA Division I Men’s Tennis regional championships consist of single-elimination matches. Once a team clinches the match, all play stops immediately for any remaining matches in progress. There will be no consolation matches. Singles and doubles championships shall not be named.

• 🔢Scoring Toggle content

  Each dual match consists of nine matches- three doubles matches followed by six singles matches. Whichever team wins two of the three doubles matches claims one doubles point. After the doubles point has been awarded, points for singles matches are awarded differently. Each singles match victory is worth one point toward the team total.

  Doubles matches are played to just one set, while singles matches are played to a best of three sets

  The no-ad scoring system will be used in the championship, meaning that the first player/doubles team to win four points wins the game, regardless of whether the score is tied at deuce. Tiebreakers will be played at 6-all (doubles) and 6-all singles for all dual matches. The first doubles team/player to reach seven points (leading by two) shall win the tiebreaker. Doubles play will be suspended once the doubles point has been clinched and the match will be suspended once either team reaches four points.
