Congratulations to you and your teammates for having a successful season and earning a berth in the 2021 USTA Georgia Southern Combo Doubles State Championships. Southern Combo has become a very popular program and the opportunity to earn a berth into the State Championships is a great accomplishment in itself.
The next step on the road to becoming a Sectional Champion is the USTA Georgia Southern Combo Doubles State Championship. The 18 & Over 2.5, 6.5, and 8.5 levels and the 40 & Over 7.5 level will take place October 22 - 24 in Valdosta, GA. The 18 & Over 5.5, 7.5, and 9.5 levels and 40 & Over 6.5 and 8.5 levels will take place November 5 - 7 in Dalton, GA.
The Coman Tie-break Procedure will be used in all tie-break situations. An explanation can be found under the General Information Tab. The directions page shows which facilities we will be using and all levels will be played on hard courts in Valdosta and Dalton.
*Notice Regarding COVID-19*
USTA Georgia will take proactive measures to create a safer environment for our participating tennis players. These actions will be relayed to teams prior to the start of each championship. Such measures may include but not limited to staggered championship schedule (to make player capacity smaller); an app for scorecard submissions; online schedules, resources and materials (as opposed to print-outs); sanitizing stations, no spectators, and mask and social distancing requirements.
To ensure a smooth and non-disruptive tournament experience, we require all players to abide by guidelines given by USTA Georgia Tournament Staff. This is for the safety of everyone. Should a “state of emergency” occur leading up to our USTA Georgia League Championship, tournament staff will notify captains and players with as much advance notice as possible. Should a USTA Georgia League Championship cancellation occur due to COVID or another infection virus/disease, and the securement of another location is not possible, the championship will not be rescheduled and the “cancellation policy,” as described in these Championship Procedures, will be followed.
If you have questions, please contact your local league coordinator and if your local league coordinator is unable to answer your questions, contact Carolina Kaminski at the USTA Georgia office (404-256-9543) or by email kaminski@ustageorgia.com. The answer to most of your questions may be found on this website.
Good luck to your team, and the USTA Georgia staff looks forward to seeing you at the Combo State Championships!
