Rules and Regulations
Heres some of the rules for the following cities tennis leagues:
San Diego Tennis, Irving Tennis and Richmond Tennis
1) Playing Format (2 out of 3 sets)
League applies the first two out of three 6-game pro sets with ads. If a set goes to 6-6 a first to 7-point tiebreaker should be used to determine the victor of the set. The tiebreaker format should be applied for all three sets.
1b) 2 sets with 3rd set tie-breaker
If the match is tied at 1 set a piece and the match is running too long, the players can agree to play a 10-point super tie-breaker to decide the match.
1c) 10 game pro set
If the players agree before the match or you are limited to 1-hour of court time, a 10-game pro set can be used with ads. This means the first to win 10 games. But, if the match is ended because of a time restriction than the score at the end is the score for the match. At 9-9, a best to 7-point tiebreaker will be used to determine the victor.
Line calls must be given without wait by the side playing the ball; otherwise, the ball shall be taken for granted to have been good. In common, no ball can be called out upon less than 100% certainty. The greatest plan of attack on a call that both players differ on is to replay the point.
4) Transferring court ends
The league wants participants to chose a location to play that works for both players.
6) Abiding by the rules of the facility at which you are playing.
Players need to abide by the rules of the courts they are playing at. Participating in a matchup doesn’t give you exceptions to break the rules of the local court. If we receive word that players are improperly using the League name in such cases it will lead to immediate removal from the league.
All scores shall be reported by the winning player using the website developed for the league. If an issue shall arise submitting the score please send us email.
Rematches are now allowed!
The organization is now allowing players to record a rematch per opponent per season. The philosophy is that the regular season is all about playing and the playoffs are where champions are determined. We still want players to meet up with as many new partners as they possibly can during the regular season.
9) Qualifying for the Playoffs
A player who gets X wins or the win criteria set by the league during the season will qualify for the playoffs. With X being the win total on the division report. It is usually 5 wins for Male Divisions and 4 wins for Female Divisions. No-show wins will count towards the 5 wins to qualify for the playoffs. Qualifiers will be bracketed against the other qualifiers in the from the same level.
