WWTA Winter Warm-Up

**We will be using the Plan 2 Play management system for this league.  Please be patient as we work through any issues with the new registration process. 

Captains – Click here for the Plan2Play how to guide.

Winter Warm-Up League:  A one court gender doubles league at Cary Tennis Park in the covered courts – a heated, open air facility.  This covered court option means no rainouts, no cold outs! League will run early November thru mid-February with evenings, weekends, and morning flights.  No scheduled matches over holidays.  Team size is a minimum of 3+ players to avoid defaulting matches, but only 2 players are needed each week for matches.  Matches are timed (1.5 hours) and teams will get 7 to 8 matches (depending on draw sizes).  This league is for ages 18+ and there are no other age divisions.

Because year-end NTRP Ratings will NOT be updated by the time registration closes, players should use their current year rating when registering for a team.

Email Michelle with any questions or if your time slot is full to be put on the waitlist!  

Play days: Levels will alternate/rotate the match play days and times.  Expect to play each of the play times listed for your level, however, alternate times might be used depending on draw sizes.  We will avoid Friday night 8:30pm matches as much as possible.  Teams will not play more than 1 match per week.

All matches are 90 minutes, therefore, it is very important to get to the facility 15 minutes before your match is scheduled to begin!  Bathroom breaks should be before or after your match.  Once you take the court, warm up is 5 minutes then play begins.  See below for details about the timed match format:

• Format is best of three tiebreak sets, with a Coman 10 point tiebreak played as the 3rd set.
• Home team provides balls and chooses side. Visiting team chooses who serves first.
• Matches will use NO AD scoring (i.e. If a game gets to Deuce, then the receiving team chooses who receives the serve).
• No switching sides after odd numbered games.  Switch only at the end of each set.  However, a quick water break at odd games is allowed.
• No switching sides during tiebreaks.
• When time is up, if you are in the middle of a game, the game does NOT count.
• If the match is completed (one team wins two sets), then the winner is determined by winning two sets.
• If the match is unfinished, the winner will be determined by number of games won.  If the number of games won is equal, play a sudden death point that will count as a game. Whoever is the next server, serves that point.
• If a 3rd set Tiebreak has been started then do NOT count total games to determine the winner.  The winner of the 3rd set tiebreak determines the winner of the match.
• If the match is in a SET tiebreak, the team ahead in points in the tiebreak wins the tiebreaker and it counts as a game.
• If the teams have equal games won and tied in a SET tiebreak, then a sudden death point is played to determine the winner.  Whoever is the next server, serves that point, which could be the same server.
