Crimson Tide Fall Challenge
Format: Opening matches will start at 10 a.m. all three days, with the second round of matches starting at 1 p.m. Teams will play a hidden dual format with two doubles matches (one standard tiebreak set to six), followed by four singles matches (best two out of three). Each match win is worth one point. If there is a tie at the end of singles, a 10-point doubles tiebreaker will be played and a coin flip will determine which doubles teams will compete.
Participating Schools: Alabama, Auburn, Columbia, Florida State, Louisville, Ole Miss, Vanderbilt, Virginia Tech
Commodores Competing: Donghyun Hwang, Callum Markowitz, Danil Panarin, Jack Satterfield
