Tar Heels Set To Host ITA Kickoff Weekend
January 23, 2020 | Men's Tennis
CHAPEL HILL—The University of North Carolina men's tennis program will host a weekend full of tennis action at the ITAT Kickoff Weekend on Saturday and Sunday at the Cone-Kenfield Tennis Center.
On Saturday, Old Dominion will face Georgia State at 9 a.m. and UNC will meet Elon at noon. The consolation match will be on Sunday at 10 a.m., followed by the championship at 1:30 p.m.
The 12th annual Intercollegiate Tennis Association Kickoff Weekend takes place January 24-27, 2020 at 26 different facilities across the country.
During that weekend, 60 teams per gender will travel to 15 host sites to participate, with four host schools having earned the right to host both genders (North Carolina, Stanford, Texas, and UCLA). Host sites were selected based on the final 2018-2019 Oracle/ITA Collegiate Tennis Rankings.
Each of the 15 regional host institutions, per gender, will welcome three other teams for a single-elimination event, with the winners advancing to the National Team Indoors (to be held next month in Madison, Wisc., for the men). The Wisconsin men and the Illinois women will serve as hosts for the National Team Indoors in 2020, guaranteeing them an automatic bid into the championships.
The ITA Kickoff Weekend is unique in college athletics in that each regional is determined via the Kickoff Weekend Draft, where each team selects which regional they wish to participate in. Selections are made in order of the final 2018-2019 Oracle/ITA Collegiate Tennis Rankings.
The seeds for this weekend's men's ITA Kickoff in Chapel Hill are:
No. 1 North Carolina
No. 2 Georgia State
No. 3 Old Dominion
No. 4 Elon
Live stats will be available throughout the weekend.
The first 50 fans to arrive at the Cone-Kenfield Tennis Center for the UNC match each day will receive a free t-shirt. There also will be free food available to fans after the doubles point each day, as well as giveaways and concessions for sale.
