The NCAA draws have been announced
Men
Women

Men
Tough selection for Ollie T's San Diego where either of the 2 sides they will face in Round 2 account for 3 of their 5 losses this season.
TCU host Raff Papajcik's Denver in Round 1.
Wake Forest seeded 1.

Women
Florida are the 1st team to miss out on a hosting position and have an extremely tough path to the last 8. In the opening weekend, there path in R2 would be in-form hosts Michigan and should they reach R3 would travel to 5 seed UNC.
Vanderbilt host Clemson
Virginia and LSU should meet in the 3rd round barring upsets.

Thanks Lambda- let the fun begin.

Do you know how many Brits are playing in the round of 64 for men and women? Im guessing youve got a list somewhere as you are pretty on top of this thing!

I see the Navy are playing in both last 64 rounds - is Forces tennis pretty strong out in the US?

Very interesting to see all these names, some I've wondered how they've been getting on ( I am sure I would have much more idea if I frequented this thread rather more often ), some I'd forgotten all about, some I've never been aware of to forget.

All the best to all of them and thank you Lambda for all the info you provide.

From Lambda's post further up, a reminder of the schedule for the NCAA team events

NCAA 1st & 2 rounds 1 to 3 May, top 16 seed host plus 3 other teams
NCAA 3rd round, 8 to 9 May, home advantage to the top 8 seed (or highest seed if neither are a top 8 seed)
NCAA finals, 14 to 17 May, at University of Georgia, Athens, Georgia

They need to call this something catchy like May Madness - oh, that has been done, effectively. May Mayhem?!

I missed UCF - Kai-Luca Ampaw off the men's list, though he his listed at No 10 in the singles line-up.

Team line-ups are provided at
https://www.ncaa.org/sports/2013/11/5/division-i-men-s-and-women-s-tennis.aspx
These may disappear after 10pm tonight as the deadline for challenges passes, but should reappear at 2pm on Thursday when the final line-ups for the first 2 rounds are confirmed.

All players listed above are named on the team line-ups except for Simon Hegarty, Hannah Rylatt, Dani Piani and Jemma Cave. As they are not listed and cannot be added for future rounds they will not be playing in the NCAAs.

Some do refer to it as May Madness.

All men's 1st rounds will be on Friday and 2nd round on Saturday
Half of the women's 1st rounds are on Friday and 2nd round on Saturday
The other half of the women's - at the hosts where the men are also hosting - will play 1st round on Saturday and 2nd round on Sunday.
