League Structure:
18 & Over and 40 & Over Leagues:
Possible levels of play for 2016 are 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, and 4.5.
All levels will play 2 singles and 3 doubles except for the 2.5 level, which will play 1 singles and 2
doubles.
Each level has a regular day of play: 4.5-Monday, 4.0-Tuesday, 3.5-Wednesday, 3.0-Thursday, 2.5Friday.
Some weeks may require that 2 matches be played. If so, extra matches would be played on Mondays
and Fridays depending on the level.
Levels with a large number of teams will be divided into flights using a random draw.
Teams will play all teams in their level or flight in a round robin format.
55 & Over and 65 & Over Leagues:
Possible levels of play include 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, and 9.0.
All levels will play 3 doubles positions.
Each level will have a regular day of play to avoid conflict with other leagues (Suburban, 18 & Over, and
40 & Over). It’s possible that there would be more than 1 match some weeks of the season.
If levels have a large number of teams, there might be more than 1 flight.
The 55 & Over League includes teams that play both during the day and in the evening, so many
matches will take place in the evening.
