Same with doubles; doubles teams were awarded +3 points for each win at No. 1, +2 for each win at No. 2 and +1 for each win at No. 3. The singles player with the most points was automatically awarded the Player of the Year title and the freshman nominee with the most points was automatically awarded the Freshman of the Year honor.
