On Friday, the N.C. High School Athletic Association released the finalized playoff brackets for the 2026 Girls Dual Team Tennis state championships.<\/p>\n
The NCHSAA office staff and a coach representative from the N.C. Coaches Association convened at 8:00 a.m. to begin the seeding process. Schools had until 10:00 a.m. to contact the NCHSAA with any bracket questions.<\/p>\n
The first round of the state playoffs will be on Monday, Oct. 12 for most classifications. The 1A classification, due to the limited number of teams participating, will play its first round on Wednesday, Oct. 14. The 1A, 2A, and 8A classifications will play their regional finals on Wednesday, Oct. 21 and will be off when the five other classes conduct regionals on Tuesday, Oct. 27. All state championships will be played on October 30-31.<\/p>\n

The coach representative on hand will conduct a random drawing to decide which side the middle team will go on. We could have a drawing in the 1A through 4A classifications, as those four classes are expected to come in under 48 teams.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\tHere’s how the NCHSAA will determine the playoff brackets this year<\/a><\/p>\n
