Method of Play
For those new to Zonals competition here are a few bits of info that may help you get comfortable with how this is run. Zonals is a team competition. Each team consists of 6 boys and 6 girls. Every player will play one singles match (best of 3 tiebreak sets with 10-point match tiebreak in lieu of the 3rd set) each day. They will also play either one doubles match or one mixed match. All doubles will be an eight game pro set with 7 point tiebreaker at 7 games all, no ad scoring. There will be a total of 12 teams from 4 different sections competing. The 12 teams will be divided into 2 groups of 6. The teams will play 4 of the 6 six teams in their group, each trying to reach the finals on Monday. Every team will continue to play matches all the way through Monday. Players are awarded national points for wins in singles and doubles so every match is important even if their team is out of the running. We will alternate start times each day between the two groups. One day they will begin at 8:00 AM and then the next will be 12:30 PM.
