Format/Rules: Each of the nine states will send one team in each

draw with two groups of five. More than one wild card may be used to
complete draw of 10 teams where possible. Each group plays a round robin
with group winners advancing to the finals.
Each team match consists of three doubles matches. The format of play
will be best of two sets with regular scoring and a set tiebreak at
6-all in each set. In the event of split sets, a match tiebreak (first
to ten points with a margin of two) will be played in lieu of a third
set
with no breaks and no coaching. Players change sides every six points in
a match tiebreak.
The format may be changed due to inclement weather. In the event of a
tie in the round robin (two or more teams with the same team record) the
group winner will be decided by:
1. Most individual matches won.
2. Fewest sets lost.
3. Fewest games lost.
