The 2016 Uniqlo Wheelchair Doubles Masters took place from 2 to 6 November in Mission Viejo, California, United States. It was the 17th edition of the tournament (14th for quad players). The tournament is run by the International Tennis Federation (ITF) and is part of the 2016 ITF Wheelchair Tennis Tour. The event takes place on hard courts. It serves as the season-ending championships for doubles players on the ITF Wheelchair Tennis Tour.The eight pairs who qualify for the men's event and six pairs who qualify for women's event are split into two groups of three or four. The four pairs who qualify for the quad event compete in one group. During this stage, pairs compete in a round-robin format (meaning pairs play against all the other players in their group).In the men's and women's events the two pairs with the best results in each group progress to the semifinals, where the winners of a group face the runners-up of the other group. In the quad event, the top two pairs progress to the final. This stage, however, is a knock-out stage.[2]
