No. 24 Florida was the first school to select the Raleigh Regional, followed by No. 30 Oklahoma and the 40th ranked Owls.
The 12th annual Intercollegiate Tennis Association Kick-Off Weekend will take place January 24-27, 2020 at 26 different facilities across the country. Host sites were selected based on the final 2018-2019 Oracle/ITA Collegiate Tennis Rankings.
Each of the 15 regional host institutions, per gender, will welcome three other teams for a single-elimination event, with the winners advancing to the National Team Indoors. The Wisconsin men and the Illinois women will serve as hosts for the National Team Indoors in 2020, guaranteeing them an automatic bid into the championships.
