What are the age divisions?

18’s, 17’s, 16’s, 15’s, 14’s, 13’s, and 12’s

Please Note: Divisions must have at least 8 teams entered or they may be combined. This will be up to the discretion of tournament organizers.

Division Formats

All divisions will have formats designed to guarantee each team at least 5 matches (or 10 sets).

We will break the divisions into 1-2 waves depending on the # of courts.

How long are the matches?

Whenever possible, matches will be the best 2 of 3 games to 25 with the deciding game, if necessary, to 15.

Team are guaranteed 5 matches (or 10 sets). It is our desire to maximize the playing time for players so they can get the most out of the tournament weekend. This sometime results in matches running slightly behind schedule. We appreciate your patience in these circumstances.

Pool play finish determination

There will be NO PLAYOFFS during pool play (not even for Gold or Silver). All ties will be solved via the following protocol:

Match Percentage
Head-to-head (ONLY used if it is 2-team tiebreaker)
Set Percentage
Point Percentage
Flip a coin

All calculations are viewable on AES online. Please monitor scores as they are updated to be sure this information is accurate throughout the day.
