  • Bend hosts biggest prep tennis tournament in the state

    COA,Feature — Tags: , , , , — Josh Cordell @ 11:23 pm


    This weekend 16 girls high school tennis teams will take place in the Bend Invitational tournament. To give you an idea how big this tournament is, those 16 teams are made up of 192 varsity players. In comparison, the Class 6A state tournament has 72 players, Class 5A has 60 and Class 4A/3A/2A/1A has 60. Meaning the Bend invite has just as many players participating in this two-day tournament as all three girls state tournaments combined.

    The beauty of this format is that it is a 16-team dual-match bracket… think March Madness starting out in the Sweet 16 with consolation brackets so every team plays at least three matches with many team playing four matches in two days.

    I for one would love to see the high school season adopt this format to determine the best prep team in the state. While I love the current district and state tournaments that the OSAA supports, this would really show who the best team was. It could be done in addition to an individual tournament, which is the format we use now.

    Kevin Collier, the Bend High girls coach and 5A state girls tennis rep, put the Bend Invite together.

    Here are some tourney details:

    Tournament Format – It is a dual-match tournament with teams broken up into two pools. All matches will consist of 4 singles and 4 doubles. Matches will be 2 out of 3 sets, no-ad scoring with a match breaker for the third set. If a dual is tied 4-4, it will be decided based upon sets won, then games won. If the dual is tied after games, each team will have one player play a match breaker to decide the match.

    Teams can change their lineup from dual match to dual match.
