Important Notes to Captains

Any player's NTRP Rating that has been double-bumped must play at the middle level. (For example, a 3.0 player on your roster has a published Year-end rating of 4.0). Captains are responsible for going to find a rating in Tennislink, checking team rosters and notifying your State League Coordinator if you have a team player that has been double-bumped. Matches will revert to losses if players are ineligible.

Players who qualify for Section Championships may advance on (one) adult, (one) senior team, and one (super senior) team but may not advance on (two) adult, (two) senior or (two) super senior teams. The one match requirement may be waived at the discretion of the Tournament Committee in the Super Senior Division only.

All team standings are final 48 hours after the conclusion of championships.
