In addition to the Cavaliers, players from Illinois, Kansas, NC State, Oklahoma and Princeton will be competing in the tournament.

Competition begins each morning at 9 a.m. and admission is free to the public. Friday’s matches will consist of two doubles matches and one singles match for each competing team. Saturday’s matches will consist of both doubles and singles matches, while Sunday’s competition will be only singles matches.

Doubles matches will be played as an eight-game pro set. The singles matches will be best of three sets with the third set being played as a 10-point tiebreak.

In case of inclement weather, matches will move to the Boar’s Head Sports Club if necessary.
