Summer League
[Singles/Doubles]

The Summer League is designed to provide a means for members to play on a regular basis throughout the summer. It also is an excellent way to meet other members of the club. The main objective of the Summer League is to promote tennis play particularly for those who do not wish for the competitiveness of the ladder.

Register for the 2010 Summer League

It’s time to start thinking about signing up for the 2010 Summer League! The WTC/NCC Summer League will begin in June and run throughout the summer for both singles and doubles play. Matches are self-scheduled within playing periods. This is a great way to get match practice, improve your game, and meet other players. Beginner players should sign up for the 2.5 singles division. If you want to play doubles (at 3.0 or 3.5/4.0), it would help to have a partner already. A requirement before signing up is that you make yourself reasonably available during the summer for your match scheduling.

Please fill out the form below, copy and paste it to an email, and send it to me at the address listed below. Be sure to indicate the level of play desired. Note: for doubles, you must play at or above the highest rating of you or your partner. You may sign up for both singles and doubles if you have the time.

The deadline for registration is June 1st. You will receive league rules and participant information after you sign-up. You MUST be a current WTC/NCC member to participate. The dues amount for this year is $25. After becoming a member there is no additional cost to play in the Summer League.

Hope you’ll join us for a summer of tennis fun!

To register, please email your USTA level and contact information to Barbara Heringslack. If you have any questions, you may contact Barbara at (302) 239-4995.

Deadline is June 1st.

Fees
You MUST be a current WTCNCC member to participate.  The dues amount for this year is only $25. Become a member today.

Scheduling Matches
Matches are self-scheduled by players within playing periods. The league coordinator provides playing periods as a starting point for scheduling matches. Realizing the difficulty of coordinating vacation, family and tennis schedules, players may elect to schedule matches at other times than during the assigned playing period – either earlier or afterward. If you are having difficulty scheduling with another player, we suggest you try others who might be available rather than let a playing period go by without completing matches. See below for defaults

Points/league winners
Players are awarded 1 point for each match they play and 1 point for each set won. The more you play – the more points you accumulate! The player or team in each league with the most points at the end of the season is the winner of that league. In the case of a tie, we will look at games won.

Defaults
Signing up for this league presumes your availability to play your matches. If participants are repeatedly unable to schedule a match with an opposing player or team a 1 point default will be awarded. You must notify the scorekeeper of the circumstances leading to claiming a default

League Winners
Winners will be recognized at the WTCNCC Tennis Party.

Reporting Scores
All scores should be sent via email, to the individual scorekeeper for the division. In reporting scores, please include the USTA level, your team number, your opponents and the game scores. If you are reporting a default, please describe the circumstances.

Matches
Matches will be best 2 of 3 sets. If players split sets, they have the option of playing the third set or using the 10-point tiebreaker. All players involved must agree to this decision. Each team brings a can of new balls and the winner takes the unopened can. If there are court fees they are to be split between the players.

Late/No-Show Policy
If an opponent has not arrived by 15 minutes after the scheduled match time and has not notified her opponent of any delay, that opponent will be consider to be a no-show and her opponent will win by forfeit.
