TRI-LEVEL LEAGUES

 

Tri-Level format:  A recreational league with 3 double positions per match played at three straight NTRP levels so friends can play together on one team, but play within their level.  

Example: One double team of 2.5s, One double team of 3.0s, and one double team of 3.5s = One Tri Level Team

Objective:  Develop a format that would help create new league play in areas that currently do not have enough players or limited players at a given NTRP level. Encourage league recruitment and participation by teams of members with different NTRP levels, to play in a “socially competitive” program.

NTRP range variations within a league structure can be organized to best suit local demands--leagues can be framed to include any three levels of play per match.  This format would be included in the League menu and offer coordinators the flexibility to tailor programs to community needs.  Tri-Level would emphasize play at the local level, where fun and team camaraderie is the key, not competition.  Play would stop with the local league or with possibly one round of playoffs at the area/district level.      

High-level guidelines/rules

·     Play occurs at three NTRP levels per match

·     Doubles teams are straight-level

·     Minimum age is18 years old in year of play

·     NTRP based (with use of TennisLink), with computer- or self-rated players

·     USTA membership required

·     TennisLink use required registration and reporting

·     No NTRP disqualification

·     Otherwise, regulations should be minimized to permit maximum reasonable flexibility at the local level  BACK TO TOP

Good Sportsmanship

November 15, 2011

1.      Good Sportsmanship

a.       Cheating will not be tolerated

b.      Throwing of racquets, banging of racquets on court, foul language or loud outbursts are not allowed.

c.       Avoid mannerisms and movement to distract your opponent or the play of others on nearby courts.

d.      Don’t use the tennis court for dealing with your demons. We play tennis to leave the drama of your daily lives behind for a few hours, not to create or enhance it.

e.       Make honest calls. If you are not sure if it was out, then it’s ruled IN.

f.    Be on time for all matches.

 

2.      Courtesy                                                               

a.       Win and lose graciously.

b.      At the conclusion of the match, shake hands and congratulate opponent.

c.       Avoid criticism of opponents.

 

3.      Sportsmanship Guidelines

a.       This is a “GAME”!

b.      Every player should know the USTA regulations (National, Mid-Atlantic, Maryland District and Local league).

c.       Adhere to the rules of continuous play, stall will not be condoned.

d.      Call the score at the beginning of each point….LOUD AND CLEAR

e.       Throw/hit balls to your opponents once you have made eye contact with them and they know the ball is coming.

f.       The role of the spectator is just that. Spectators are not to interfere with a match or matches in progress.

 

 

BE A NICE PERSON… THIS IS CALLED A ‘Gentleman’s Sport!
