USTA Southwest will host the sixth annual Tri-Level League Championships January 11-12 2014 at the Tucson Racquet & Fitness Club.
More than 100 players from across the Section are expected to compete in this "tri-level" format (named for the three different NTRP levels 3.5, 4.0 and 4.5) that make up each team.
Tri-Level is a growing format in the Southwest and across the nation with more and more teams participating each and every year.
The event is called the "2013" Tri-Level League Section Championships as it is a culmination of the 2013 league season, even though it's held in early 2014.
The carrot to participating in Tri-Level leagues, besides the fun and camaraderie, is the invitational national championship each year that is held in conjunction with the BNP Paribas Open at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden in Indian Wells, Calif.
Section championship winning teams get to compete alongside top professionals, who are battling out for their own title!
The 2014 BNP Paribas Open Tri-Level National Championships will be held March 14-16, 2014.
Defending champions at the USTA Southwest Tri-Level League Championships are Central Arizona women and Central Arizona men (both teams pictured below).
Winners of each men's and women's level combine to form the USTA Southwest team at the national championships.
