The CHSAA promotes high levels of sportsmanship. CHEER FOR YOUR TEAM AND NOT AGAINST YOUR OPPONENT. Those teams with the best sporting student-athletes, coaches, and spectators will be given the CHSAA Sportsmanship Award at the championship ceremony. Coaches are encouraged to vote for their choice during the state tournament.

Per the CHSAA Tennis Report, the bracket creation process is as follows: 1. All 16 individuals/teams will be considered for placement on the draw. 2. The top 4 individuals/teams will be placed. 3. The remaining Regional Winners (#1's) will be randomly drawn for places on the draw. 4. The committee shall consider the following factors (in no particular order of importance): strength of league, overall record, strength of competition, head-to-head competition and common opponents. 5. The Regional Finishers (#2's) will then be randomly drawn for matches against a Regional Winner. 6. All Regional Winners will be paired against a Regional Finisher. 7. No two teams or individuals from the same Region will play each other during the first round of the state championships.

All matches will begin at 9:00 am on Thursday, May 9. The singles will be placed on court first and the doubles will play as courts become available. The order will be #1, 2, 3 Singles #1, 2, 3, 4 Doubles. Playback matches will begin after the first round on Friday. If you lose to a player who makes it to the finals, you will be immediately entered into the playback matches. All championship matches and playback finals will begin at 9:00 am on Saturday morning. There will be an awards ceremony following the completion of all finals matches.

Only coaches who are REGISTERED & CONTRACTED with your school will be allowed to have Coaching Badges at the State Championships. Your AD's will give us the names of your registered and contracted coaches prior to State. There will be a coaches meeting on Thursday morning at 8:40 am at both sites.

Racquets for All was established in 2008 as part of the Colorado Youth Tennis Foundation which has a mission to make tennis available to all kids regardless of economic, social, or ethic backgrounds. The Racquets for All Challenge is a great way for high school tennis players in Colorado to give back to the tennis community. Teams are encouraged to collect new and gently used tennis raquets throughout the regular season and then bring them to their Regional Tournament. Racquets will be collected at Regionals as well as State. The team that collects the most racquets will be awarded a prize at the State Championships to be used in any way the team deems most appropriate.
