APTA Team National Championships

April 9, 2019

National Championships

The Northern Chicago Suburbs hosted Region V, 2019 APTA Team Nationals, April 6-7.  The American Platform Tennis Association Team Nationals was previously called the APTA National League Championships.  In the team nationals, teams are self-selected.  Each team must consist of at least six players, and unlike the other APTA tournaments, the teams are comprised of players with similar ratings, as opposed to age-based divisions.

Teams take on teams from different towns, cities or states.  The teams meet for a two-day tournament.  The first day, the teams play three lines of doubles in a round robin format against the other teams in their group.  The next day, the top four teams then head to the semi-finals, with the best two teams meeting in the finals.

Unlike like last year, when the finals were played in a steady rain, this year the teams finished their games in the dry, mild Chicago April.
