Battle of the Mississippi
Three USTA sections - one traveling trophy.
It's the Battle of the Mississippi - a Level 2 Intersectional team tournament with USTA Midwest, USTA Missouri Valley and USTA Northern. Midwest brought the trophy home in 2021 and 2022, establishing themselves as the section to beat for the 2023 edition. Who will take home The Ox this year?
The tournament's unique Dominant Duo format is great for team play. One boy and one girl per team will play two gendered singles and one mixed doubles match per round.
Competitors will be selected based on the most recent National Standings list. Selections for this event will take place after players have been selected for the Clay Court Championship.
Players are assigned a doubles partner based on their NSL in descending order. (Ex: Boy 1 from Northern will play with Girl 1 from Northern and Boy 2 will play with Girl 2).
Got what it takes to help bring The Ox home?
