Each team is required to have 8 players. 4 girls and 4 boys.
The teams will consist of 1 boys singles, 1 girls singles, 1 boys doubles, 1 girls doubles, 1 mixed doubles. Each school will play all 5 matches against another school.

The school can also choose to use different players against different schools. If a school is unable to field a player in a category they automatically forfeit that game, but they can still win the best of 5 competition.
