Welcome to the 2nd Annual SCTA Friendship Team Cup event. This tournament is an exciting, fun, and innovative ONE DAY Level 3 18s and 16s team tournament where players can make up their own teams with their friends!
This is a great warmup for Junior Sectionals and a fun opportunity for players to play with their friends!

Each team will consist of a minimum of 2 boys and 2 girls (maximum 3 boys and 3 girls; 2 boys and 3 girls and vice versa is okay). Players will be responsible for coming up with their own teams. The SCTA will not place players on teams. Players are permitted to only enter with one team. See info below about entering in two divisions.

-16s will play on Saturday, June 8th
-18s will play in Sunday, June 9th

6 teams will be accepted into each division based on section ranking of the top 2 boys and top 2 girls on their team along with 2 wild card teams to be determined by the tournament committee. All selection will be based on natural division ranking (no designated aging up spots).

Because this is a team tournament, players are EXPECTED to stay until their last match finishes. Awards will be given to all participants.
