For Combo competitions, the combined NTRP (National Tennis Rating Program) ratings of each doubles team must not exceed the level at which they compete, and the NTRP rating difference between members of an individual doubles pair must not exceed 0.5.
There were five different divisions competing, with some great talent spread across the field. The matches were intense and in each division a different count came out on top.
Let’s see which teams fought off the cold and captured the sectional championships!
