Contacting Opponents
Our unique league format is the most flexible and convenient way to play tennis. Make sure you know the following key rules and options.Did you know?
- Both players are responsible for contacting each other. It is not the home court player's responsibility to make the first contact.
- Matches should be scheduled by the Wednesday preceding your week of play.
- Contact with your opponent should be made using both phone and email.
- You are required to give your opponent at least three different dates that you are available to play during your scheduled time period.
- There is a two week window to complete each match. The regular week plus the make up week.
- Use common courtesy when arranging your matches. Rude phone behavior leads to on court confrontations.
- Matches may be played ahead of schedule, if you know your travel plans in advance. (Check your schedule at the start of the season for travel plans and vacations).
- To aid in scheduling matches, each player is provided one Late Pass to use each season in order to report a late score.
- You must respect the "home" player's choice of venue and court surface. Your personal preference might not be another's.
- Your commitment to completing all your matches in a timely fashion is the league's most valuable asset.
Unable to Contact Opponent
If you are unable to contact your opponent, check your "online schedule" to see if there have been any updates to your division. New phone numbers, email address, withdrawn and replacement player information are posted daily.
If you have attempted to contact your opponent at least twice, using both phone and email and received no reply by Wednesday of your scheduled week of play, you may choose one of the following options:
- Play a match against a Substitute Player
- Report a default and receive your Current Average
Please do not contact the office and ask what to do. Choose option 1 or 2 and move on to scheduling your next match.
