| The
Tournament Committee determined tournaments berths and seeding based on
the following criteria: 2003 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 and unseeded teams were assigned the remaining slots in the draw by random lot. |
| 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. Once the doubles point is decided, teams should commence singles play within ten minutes, 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, click here. |
| 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.
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. The tournament director can be reached most times on Saturday at the Hunt Tennis Center at 203-697-2106. Reporting scores. The winning team coach is responsible for calling in results to the tournament director after each match at 203-697-2417 so that the website can be promptly updated. A complete record of each match--including the first and last names and class years of all players as well as all scores--should be e-mailed (ngallagher@choate.edu) or faxed (203-697-2601) to the tournament director no later than Monday, May 19. Here is a sample of the preferred reporting format:
