Hilton Head Island SC
Play Starts Friday
189 Matches … and That’s Just for the Opening Rounds at SC Combo States
HILTON HEAD ISLAND SC (TENNIS E-NEWS) – Hilton Head Island league teams will hit the courts at 8 a.m. Friday, with matches scheduled in group round robins through Monday at 11 a.m. at the South Carolina Combo State Championships in Charleston.
Eighteen HHI league teams will be competing in Adult, Senior and Super Senior divisions with most engaged in preliminary group play that will determine teams to advance to semifinals and finals on Sunday and Monday. Some divisions with smaller team numbers will consist of a round robin with each team facing each other teams once and best record on TennisLink determining the champions.
The 18 local teams in the fray, Local Combo Coordinator Kathy Foulke reports, is a significant increase from the 10 teams that went to Combo States last year, thanks to several wild cards. The HHI league teams have 189 individual matches on tap, not counting any teams that advance to semifinal and/or final rounds. Stay tuned.
