Campus Showdowns are one-day, short format tournaments open to juniors, college players, professionals and adults, and are a fun way to show off a college to its community. The Showdowns are also a great chance for members of the community to compete against players they may not otherwise see.
The Showdowns generally draws are 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. Events can be men’s, women’s, or coed. The tournaments are run on college campuses with the college coach acting as tournament director. To encourage participation, entry fees are kept low.
Three of these exciting events are coming up in South Carolina. Furman and Coastal Carolina will host showdowns on August 28 and Spartanburg Methodist will host an event on November 6.
