LEAGUE FORMAT This Oak Park Men s 45+ Doubles Tennis League matches are played at the Oak Park High School courts as indicated on the schedule. Matches should start no later than 7:10 PM Sharp. Any player who arrives late is not entitled to a warm up. EQUIPMENT Each team opens one can of balls each night of play and will need seven cans. Each player will provide your team captain with FOUR cans of UNOPENED, NEW TENNIS BALLS (Penn, Dunlop, and Wilson are the preferred brands). Please bring them to the first match. GAME FORMAT A. Teams will play two 12-game sets each night. Each player will participate in two doubles matches. B. Sudden death will be played instead of the fourth deuce point. In all sudden death points, the server will serve to the equivalent level player on the receiving team. C. All matches are to begin promptly and on schedule. Each player must make every effort to be on time. Matches start at 7:00 PM and 8:45 PM. Begin play by 7:10 PM, to allow the late group time to complete evening of play. If it appears that play will run late, revert to Van Allen scoring (15,30,40, game). Please give the court over by 8:40 PM to the next group. The 8:30 group should begin play by 8:45 PM to ensure play is completed before lights go out. D. Record scores and substitutions on the score sheet in the book after each round. At the end of the evening, the team scheduled to play at 7:00 PM next week should take the scorebook home and return it next week. RAIN Never assume matches are cancelled because it s raining. Just because it is raining where you are, it may not be raining at the courts. It is highly recommended that each player go to the courts and confirm a rain out. If it is not raining at match time and the courts are playable (decision is made at the discretion of the league director) the games will be played. SUBSTITUTES If you are unable to play, you must provide a substitute (See Substitution List). You may go lower than your level but not higher without penalty. If you cannot find a substitute, contact your team captain. A substitute should be no higher than the same level of the registered player or lower. If a higher-level player is used for a substitute, the following point limit applies: One Level Difference: Two Level Difference: Three Level Difference: Maximum of 7 points in 12-game set Maximum of 5 points in 12-game set Maximum of 3 points in 12-game set
MOBILE PHONES Players are beginning to bring mobile phones to the courts. As most of us know they can be disruptive when they ring during a point. The disruption can affect two or three different games. If a mobile should ring at any time during a match, the team of the person answering can be penalized one point at the opposing team s discretion. If the conversation should cause an unreasonable delay in the game, additional points can be claimed by the opposing team. PLAYING AUSTRALIAN Should one player have to play alone and is a level one or two, he will play the doubles lines. A level three or four player forced to play alone will play the singles lines. Player levels (1, 2, 3, and 4) cannot be changed after the third week of play. LEAGUE DIRECTOR: Ben Kass Mobile: (818) 599-5495 E-mail: bennettkass@gmail.com
