USPTA ADULT LEAGUE
LUBBOCK

1. Each match will play two out of three sets, regular scoring with a 12 point tiebreaker (first to 7 points, win by 2) at 6 all. A 10-point match tie-breaker will be played for the third set.
2. Players will be allowed to play at their own level or at a higher level. (Example: A 3.0 player may play 3.5 doubles.)
3. Please email score to USPTALeague@lubbocktennis.com as soon after each match is played as possible. Updates of the League Sheets will be posted often online.  If the results for a match is not posted, it may not yet be reported and should be reported as soon as possible.
4. The team listed first on the schedule is the "home team" and is responsible for reserving courts and for all court and guest fees. Contact each club or facility for information on their fee structure and guest policy. The home team should contact the visiting team well before the scheduled round to arrange a site and time. It is the responsibility of both teams to schedule and play all matches.  Both team should bring a new can of balls; the winning team takes the new unopened can.. Designate levels are assigned to the following nights:

   	Monday, 7:00 pm	M3.5, W4.0
   	Tuesday, 7:00 pm	M3.0 & M4.0
   	Wednesday, 7:00 pm	M4.5 & W4.5
   	Thursday, 7:00 pm	W3.0 & W3.5

5. A 15 minute default rule will be in effect for all matches. Forfeits will follow USTA rules.
6. Match times will be agreed upon by the team captains. Play must begin before 8:30 p.m.
7. The score should be turned in immediately after the completion of a match.
8. All matches should be played within one week of a scheduled date. If a time cannot be agreed upon, the match must be played at the originally scheduled time.
9. The winners of the league will be determined by the team with the most matches won. In case of a tie, the following criteria will be used:
       1.  Least sets lost
       2.  Least games lost
10. Play-offs will be scheduled for divisions with more than one flight.
11. If there are two flights, the first and second place teams in each flight will qualify for the play-offs. The first place team from Flight I plays the second place team for Flight II and the first place team from Flight II plays the second place team from Flight I. The winners of the first match will play for 1st and 2nd place.  The losers in the first match will play for 3rd and 4th. The bolded team is the home team.
12. If there are three flights, the first place team in each flight and one wild card team (the second place team with the best record) will qualify for the play-offs.
13. The draw will be made as soon as all four teams have been determined.
14. Defaults are an unfortunate and inevitable part of playing league. As has been done in the past, a default will count as an average of the games lost per round from their actual matches played. 
15. Protest must be in writing 24 hours after the completion of a match.
16. The first and second place teams in each level will qualify for state playoffs in Houston. The third place team may travel to the play-offs as an alternate. Teams not able to participate in the play-offs will be replaced by teams in the league.
17. Players will be given one extra week at the end of the regular schedule to complete all matches in their flight.  After that date, all unplayed matches will be considered a default/loss by both teams.
