For the past several years, the NCHSAA has required the use of a "dual-team lineup sheet", which coaches exchange prior to the beginning of the match.
Last summer, the NCHSTCA leadership, working with Caitlin McMannen at NCHSAA, revised the lineup sheet to address several shortcomings of the previous version, and to reduce confusion about what coaches can and cannot do with their dual-team lineups.

In the light of the passage of SB452, NCHSAA staff decided not to change the process for distributing regional berths for the Fall 2023 girls tennis individual tournament in singles and doubles.
NCHSTCA’s Board of Directors had recommended a change to that process that would more fairly distribute regional berths among the conferences, and at our summer meeting with NCHSAA staff, it was agreed to implement that change for the fall season. At the time, NCHSAA staff believed it had the authority to implement the change administratively.
Believing that the change would take place, we posted on our website a detailed step-by-step explanation of how regional berths would be distributed amongst the conferences.
NCHSAA staff agree that the NCHSTCA proposal is an improvement to the process, and will result in greater fairness regarding the distribution of regional berths.

The NCHSAA, in conjunction with MaxPreps, has published its midseason calculation of the RPI ratings for women's tennis.
Midseason ratings are subject to change, as many schools' ratings are based on just a handful of matches. However, end of season ratings will be used to determine playoff selection and seeding.
RPI ratings are a combination of a team's winning percentage, their opponents' winning percentage, and their opponents' opponents' winning percentage. The ratings are updated daily, based on match results posted by the schools on MaxPreps.
The ratings are divided by classification and region. To access the complete ratings, go to the Women's Tennis page on the NCHSAA website.
