Each semester, the team plays about 4 tournaments across the Southeast. At tournaments, the captains will divide the members playing the event into an A, B, and C team (sometimes only 1-2 teams) that each have 4-6 guys and 4-6 girls. This gives the opportunity for everyone to play. The Men's and Women's Captains are responsible for determining lineups for each match throughout the weekend. Specifically, they will generally designate an "interim" captain for each of the teams that they are not playing on for that interim captain to determine the lineups for their team throughout the weekend.

Each match consists of 5 lines: 1 guys/girls singles, 1 guys/girls doubles, and 1 mixed doubles. The overall winner of the match is determined by the number of games won, NOT by the number of lines won. Therefore, every game matters!

Importantly, Club Tennis rules allow for mid-match substitutions. This means that during the match, you are allowed to sub another player in for the one on court (similar to other sports) (each player can play a max of two lines in each match/round). Substitutions are discussed with the players and captains, although the captains can make the final decision that is best for the team.

The scoring of Tennis on Campus / Club Tennis is comparable to World Team Tennis scoring. Each line plays one no-ad set to 6, with a tiebreak to 5 at 5-5 in the set. Rather than switching sides every two games, players switch sides every four games in club tennis. Should you reach 5-5 in the set, the tiebreak is played first to 5, with win by one at a score of 4-4.

Matches can go by fairly quick, which is why we train a lot and practice pressure situations so that our players are fully ready come match time.
