Each player is guaranteed to have four singles matches and four doubles matches on the weekend. Each flight will have a team champion based on points accumulated throughout the event.
Juniors Owen DeMuth and Jonathan Irwanto will each make their season debuts for the Yellow Jackets. DeMuth will play his first competitive match since the 2024 Battle at the Beach; the junior has notched seven collegiate singles wins. Irwanto will make his Georgia Tech debut after two seasons at California. Irwanto had a stellar freshman season with 17 singles wins before claiming 15 total wins in 2024-25.
