Format – New Structure for 2026

For 2026, the Gatorade Tennis Team Tournament will be played in two phases:

Phase 1 – Round Robin

• Each team plays against all the other teams.
• Results across the group stage determine which teams progress to the knockout phase.

Phase 2 – Semi-Finals and Finals

• Teams from the Round Robin phase qualify for the semi-finals, followed by the finals.
• Final positions (including overall winners, runners-up and third place) are decided in this phase.

Match Format and Points System

• Matches are played as best of three tie-break sets.
• At one set all, the 3rd set is played as a Super Tie-Break to 10 points.

Points system per match:

• Straight-sets win: 3–0 points
• Win via Super Tie-Break: 2–1 points

This structure rewards both teams that win comfortably and those that battle through to a deciding set, making every match and every set count towards the team’s overall total.

Entry Fee and Closing Date

• Entry fee: €20 per player
• Closing date for entries: Monday, 5 January 2026

Entries received after the closing date may not be accepted, as organisers will need time to form teams and prepare the final schedule for the Gatorade Tennis Team Tournament 2026.
