Matches
should be played if at all possible. It should take
'unbelievable horrendous" weather to postpone a
match. If a postponement is likely, captains should
be initiating a dialogue Monday mornings keeping in
mind the following:
-
Return your telephone calls to fellow
captain ASAP
- Don't let your team members assume
anything.
- It is your responsibility to have your
team ready.
- Make sure your courts are ready.

All Matches are to be played Monday Nights

match is to be played as the best two sets of three.

point tiebreaker rule should be used.

three sleeves of new

Scoring
for each Monday match is 2 points for the league team
that wins, 0 for a loss. If a match ends in a 3-3 tie,
each team is scored 1 point. At teh end of the
regular season in the event of two teams finishing with
the same record, the following tie breaker system wil
be used in this order:
a)
Head-to-Head points.
b) Head-to-Head match records, i.e. 4-2, 3-3, 5-1, 6-0.
c) Most wins in league.

All "B" league clubs should estalish their own
seperate rosters from their A Teams. Obviously, "A"
teams sometime need to dip down for a "B" player
once in a while, but it is felt that if a "B"
player played in more than 2 "A" matches in
a given season, he will be included on the "A"
team roster the following year. "A" and "B"
captains should maintain good communication throughout
the season.
