A section title will be up for grabs at the USTA Southwest Adult Tri-Level League Invitational in Scottsdale, Arizona, January 13-15, 2023. 

This event, while held early in the year in 2023, is the culmination of 2022 USTA League play in Tri-Level leagues, and thus it's a 2022 calendar championship. We get it, it's a bit confusing! 

Our three-day tournament will be held at longtime USTA Southwest league championships facility host, Scottsdale Ranch Park in Scottsdale, Arizona. 'SRP' is a past USTA Outstanding Facility Award winner, has played home to the USTA Winter National Championships, and has been a frequent host of past USTA Southwest section championship adult and junior events. 

Teams of players from all over the Southwest will make their way to Scottsdale for a chance at the Tri-Level event, which 

Tri-Level teams are comprised of three levels (3.5, 4.0, 4.5) all playing doubles lines  in their respective gender. ADVERTISEMENT Teams win by winning the most 

Player lunches will be served on Friday and Saturday.
