There are thirty-six 18U teams divided into 9 flights of 4 teams each. Each team gets 3 round robin matches finishing Saturday afternoon. The winners of the 9 flights will face off in a bracket tourney on Saturday night and Sunday morning.
Our Sparta 18U Warriors round robin matches will be Friday at 1:30pm (at Middle Tennessee Christian School), and Saturday at at 9:30am & 3:30pm at the Adam's Tennis Complex at 925 Golf Lane, Murfreesboro, TN 37129.
I will be driving a 15 passenger van both days and will not be renting hotel rooms. You may get a room if you choose in Murfreesboro. I would recommend players ride the van or we carpool together. We can't afford for players to be late.
We must be onsite at each match a bare minimum of 30 minutes early to check in our rosters. We are shooting for 45 minutes early. If anyone of our team is even 15 minutes late, we forfeit the match.
Each team match consists of 4 matches, (1 boys singles, 1 girls singles, 1 boys doubles, 1 girls doubles). A total of 6 players will play each match. Since we have 4 boys and 3 girls signed up, we can't afford any injuries or illness with the girls as we have no subs.
Each match is a best 2 out of 3 set match. Each set is played to 6 with No-Ad scoring. If we get to a third set, a 10point super-tiebreak is played in lieu of the third set. This is going to be a longer match than any you've played this year besides the district tournament.
Parents can't coach in any way, only encourage. As coach, I can only coach on changeovers, not during games. I can't coach at all during tiebreaks.
There will be food vender trucks and a video game truck on site at Adams Complex on Saturday. Players will get a free meal ticket to use at vender trucks for their lunch for Saturday.
We will have a grass field at the Adams Complex courts to set up as home base with our awning, cooler, and chairs.
I will carry my racquet stringing machine on Saturday in case anyone needs restringing in between matches.
We will plan 1hr & 15mins of driving. The van will leave from the high school parking lot Friday at 10am and aim to arrive at the Adams Complex at 11:30am. The van will leave Saturday at 7:30am and aim to arrive at Adams Tennis Complex at 8:45am.
There are a little over 600 tennis players from age 9 up to 18 competing in this tournament. You're gonna see some of the best of Tennessee!
