In case you have not watched college tennis before, the meet starts with simultaneous play of 3 doubles matches, first to 8 games with tiebreaker for 7-7. The team who wins two doubles matches first win ONE point. Then the six singles matches happen (more or less simultaneous) - best of 3 sets, with the winner of each singles match rewarded one point. First team to 4 point win the meet.

GO BEARS!
