Reporting Scores
Regular season scores are reported from your schedule page. The winning team's captain is the designated person to report match scores. However, all players have the ability to report scores and are ultimately responsible for ensuring that all scores are reported on time and accurately. The only way scores can be reported late is through use of your Late Pass. No Exceptions!
Note - The final "end of season" scoring deadline is really final. Once the deadline has passed, the scoring system is shut down and no scores may be entered or corrected for any reason. This enables us to create the playoff draws immediately so they may be posted in a timely manner.
Regular Season Reporting Options:
I played my regular opponent - Use this option to report scores for a match that was completed against your regular opponent. The team captain reporting the scores must always enter their score first, regardless of who won.
My opponent defaulted, I will take 12 points - Use this option if your match circumstances meet the requirements under Defaults and No Shows. You will be given your 12 points for this weeks match.
Incomplete Scores: When reporting a score for an incomplete match, enter the scores exactly what they were at the time play stopped. The system will detect that the scores are incomplete and will ask you what caused the stoppage in play.
Why scoring deadlines?
The Ultimate Tennis match format was designed to provide a balance between flexibility and structure that works well for most people's schedules. History has proven that time limits are an absolute necessity for the league to function properly and keep players on track. Without due dates, even as few as two players delaying matches until the end of the season would lead to massive defaults paralyzing entire divisions and creating widespread frustration. With the advent of time limits, non responsive players can be replaced early in the season preserving play for our active members. Ultimate Tennis has worked hard to earn the reputation of a "player's league" where members are responsive and uphold their commitment to complete their matches. Please note, if hard deadlines were not absolutely necessary for the league to run we would not require them. Thank you for your understanding and your commitment.
