Schools may enter as many as 4 singles players and 3 doubles teams in any flight.

Seeding: Seeding for each draw will be determined by the newly adopted by the ITA, most up-to-date World Tennis Number (WTN) information. Each draw will have 8 seeds, while still taking into account institutions with multiple players in draws will not face each other (should they continue to win), until appropriate (2 player - Finals ... 3-4 players - Semifinals).

Trophies will be awarded to first and second place finishers in each flight and first place consolation winners. For every win in the main draw, a certain point count will be awarded; for every win in the consolation draw, 1.0 points will be awarded; and for doubles teams with two different institutions, half of the round's designated points will be awarded to determine the overall team champions, and those who placed 2nd and 3rd place.
