Format: 2 person teams play another 2 person team each week for a doubles match (please check the online schedule each week for court and assignment, or check with the coordinator before your match).  If a doubles team is missing a player for that week they may provide a “substitute” player.  If both players on a team are missing the other team will receive a 2-0 set (6-0, 6-0) forfeit win.  If one player is forced to play alone against a doubles team the single player will only be required to cover the singles lines (the alleys will be out for the other team).  Two or more forfeits by a team during the season may result in removal from the league.  If you are unable to make a match, please discuss with your partner and try to get your own sub, if the team can not find one please contact the office so may assist in trying to find one!

Forfeits: If no roster player is ready to play their match at 7:15 (15 minutes past scheduled start) a 6-0 score for first set will be recorded.  At 7:30 is no roster player is ready to play the match will be forfeited and recorded as 6-0 6-0 win for the other team.

Scoring: Matches are best of 3 sets following regular tennis rules: sets are played to 6 games, must win each set by 2 games, standard 7-point tiebreaker to be played at a 6-6 game tie (win tiebreaker by two).  Receiving team is to make in/out calls by the honor system.  If a team feels a call has been made incorrectly they may ask (but not necessarily granted) a “replay”.  If a team feels several calls are being missed, a neutral 3^rd party may be asked to watch and settle disputes (if agreed upon by both parties or the Tennis Coordinator).  Please direct all questions/disputes to the Tennis coordinator.  After match please record player names and scores on score sheets provided and turn in to the Tennis Coordinator so they can be accurately recorded on the website.  If matches are ended due to weather, or other unforeseen circumstances, the match will become official once one full set has been completed.  An incomplete 2nd set will not be scored and will be decided based on first set score. An incomplete 3rd set score WILL be used to determine winners when a match is tied a set apiece. Players playing in a 3rd set should make every attempt to not end an incomplete 3rd set tied (play out the next game if at all possible).
