Each player will need to have the following available before registering for a USTA League Tennis team. (A USTA membership number, a team number provided by the team captain, phone number and a credit card with the expiration date). c..the 2018 registration fee will be $24.00 per player participating in the adult leagues, all age groups d. All players will have a computer rating when signing up for a team or will be prompted to declare a self-rating during the registration process.

If players get a rating that is higher than they expected, they must appeal using the on-line appeal line that will display on the last page of the self-rating procedure. e. It is the captain's responsibility to be sure all team members are properly registered with the USTA and that their self-rating is as accurate as possible before a match is played. Be sure to tell players that they must go to TennisLink to register. f. Registration Dates for Leagues. These dates can be altered at the coordinator s discretion. 1. Adult 18 & 40 & Over Leagues 2/1/18 6/21/18; 8/10/18 for 40 & Over 2. Adult 55 & 65 & Over Leagues 2/1/18 8/20/18 SECTION TWO: PLAYER PARTICIPATION I. Philadelphia Area Tennis District players may play on more than one team within a division in the same local league as long as it is a different NTRP level. Players may play at their NTRP level or one level higher. (For example a 3.0 player may play on a 3.0 adult 18 & Over league team as well as a 3.5 adult 18 & Over league team). Such players must be properly registered on both teams (including paying two registration fees), must notify both team captains that they are playing on more than one team. Players may elect to play on both teams if they advance to championship level. Any scheduling conflicts as a result of playing on more than one team are the responsibility of the individual player. II. Philadelphia Area Tennis District players are allowed to play on teams in other districts during the same league season (as defined by league starting and ending dates). Likewise, players who play in another district may play on a Philadelphia Area team during the same league season. (For example, a Philadelphia Area player may play on a Philadelphia Area team and at the same time may play on a New Jersey team. A New Jersey district player may play on a Philadelphia Area Tennis District team while playing at the same time on an EPD team). Again, it is the responsibility of such a player to notify both captains that they are playing on more than one team. III. IV. Only 4 players who play together on a 5-court team in other districts within Middle States may play together on an adult team in the Philadelphia Area district. For 3 court teams, it is 3 players only. Other districts also have specific rules about this. This rule applies only to Middle States teams. Philadelphia Area Tennis District players are allowed to play on both the 18 & Over and the 40 & Over league teams at the same level during the same local league season. They may play at their current NTRP level or higher. V. An individual player may play in only one singles or doubles match within each team match. 2

If during Championships play, indoor courts are required, a fee may be assessed to cover these costs. VII. COURT CONDUCT A. All matches should be conducted according to USTA Code of Conduct rules. Any violation of these rules may be grounds for filing a grievance. Please remind your players of the following rules to avoid the most common on-court arguments: Announce the score before beginning each point. When unsure of a line call, the ball is GOOD. Players may NOT enlist the aid of spectators when making line calls. Coaching is not allowed unless the match format is the best of 3 tiebreak sets and a 10-minute break is taken between second and third sets. Gamesmanship or abusive language is prohibited. B. If you have a cell phone, turn it off before you go on court. If it rings during play, your opponent wins that point. If you answer it, your opponent wins that game. Texting or reading texts on changeovers will result in a point penalty. If the phone rings on a changeover, turn it off. There is no penalty. VIII. GRIEVANCES All Captains should read the 2018 USTA League Tennis Regulations and the USTA/Middle States Section Rules for rules and grievance procedures. When in doubt about a rule or procedure, contact your local league coordinator. If you find it necessary to file a formal complaint regarding any matter, please be sure to follow the exact procedures spelled out in the 2018 USTA League Tennis Regulations (these rules are on line). All grievances must be filed in writing prior to the protesting team's next match and mailed to your local league coordinator. Grievance Appeal Committee will be chosen as needed. IX. LEAGUE SCORING In the event of a tie, the championship tiebreaker method will be used as outlined in the 2018 USTA League Regulations unless the local coordinator publishes a different tiebreak procedure. In all divisions, the scoring format will be Points Per Position. The points are as follows: Adult 18 & 40 & Over: 1 S 5 points 2 S 4 points 1 D 6 points 2 D 4 Points 3 D 3 points Adult 55 & 65 & Over and Mixed 1D 7 points 2D 4 points 3D 3 Points Where 1S and 4D are played: 1S- 4 1D 5 2D 4 3D 3 4D 2 In a 7 or 8-team division, each team will play each other one time. The teams finishing in the top four will play each other a second time; the teams in the bottom half will play as well. Matches from all ten weeks of the season will count to determine the champion in such a division. If a team forfeits an entire team match for any reason (during the season continuation), then all matches of that team played or to be played, shall be null and void. If all teams in contention for the Championships have already played the forfeiting team in good faith, the matches stand as played. 5
