CAMPUS SHOWDOWN AT TCU | USTA INFORMATION PAGE
FORT WORTH — TCU has been chosen by the United States Tennis Association to host a Campus Showdown tournament at the Bayard H. Friedman Tennis Center on Sept. 29.
The Campus Showdowns are part of a USTA player development program that is one day and includes short format tournaments open to juniors, college players, professionals and adults. The tournaments are run on college campuses, with the college coach acting as tournament director.
Events can be men's, women's or coed. The draws are usually compass draws for both singles and doubles with matches being one set with a tiebreaker at 5-5, although format and scoring is at the discretion of the director.
Entry fees are kept low to provide access to full range of players. Generally, entry fees run $10 for singles, $5 for doubles and $15 for both.
Anyone interested in competing in the Campus Showdown at TCU should contact Frogs' assistant coach Mark Tjia by phone (817-257-6705) or email (mark.tjia@tcu.edu).
