The tournament will be held at Ben Davis High School in Indianapolis, with the matches moved inside to the West Indy Racquet Club and the Indianapolis Racquet Club in the case of inclement weather.

The first semifinal will match the regular season champion Jaguars, the tournament hosts with fourth seeded Western Illinois beginning at 10 a.m. The championship is slated for Saturday at 11 a.m.
