2018 USTA League 40 & Over Mixed Update

Part way into day 2, things are tight at all levels at the last 2018 Nationals being played in Orlando this weekend.

At the 6.0 level, as I write this a full 11 teams have one or fewer losses and are still in it.  And with just three undefeated teams, there is very likely to be a tie for at least one spot.  The updated simulation has Northern, Southern, and Caribbean advancing with PNW and Midwest in a tie for 4th.

The 7.0 level has 9 teams with one loss or fewer and just two undefeated.  The current simulation has a 6-way tie for 2nd behind an undefeated Hawaii, three teams will be left out if it plays out that way.

At 8.0, there are 9 teams with one or fewer losses and just three undefeated.  The simulation says just a 3-way tie at 3-1 behind SoCal and Midwest, but a large group at 2-2 right behind them.

And at 9.0, there are 7 teams with one or fewer losses and just one undefeated.  A big tie at 3-1 is possible but the simulation says just 4 tied for 2nd behind MoValley.

It will be fun to see how close these end up being.
