Matches:
Matches are the best of 3 sets with a 10 point Coman tiebreak being played in lieu of a third set when the score is tied at one set all.
The winning team enters scores into Tennislink within 48 hours.
In the event of inclement weather, make-up matches should be played within 14 days. Due to limited court availability, matches may be made up court by court.
Home Team:
Providing match-ready courts and new tennis balls is the responsibility of the home team. The home team captain should communicate court-readiness decisions with the visiting team captain as early as possible.
Each team should provide their own beverages.
Facilities:
Any team using city courts as their home team will pay court fees directly to Parks and Recreation for their home matches. Invoices are sent to the team captains who may in turn collect fees from their team members.
The league coordinator will schedule all regular season matches.
NTRP Ratings:
Adult USTA teams use NTRP ratings to determine a player’s level.
If you don’t know what your rating is, visit Tennislink to understand ratings.
