» USTA League Tennis

The number of team matches will be based on the actual number of teams that register for a level.

 

Captains must use the USTA TennisLink to register their team and team players. The process is as follows:

 

1. By Wednesday, June 29, Captains must register their team on TennisLink and pay the $25 team administrative fee with their credit card. To register a team, the Captain must enter TennisLink using the "Team Number" shown on the attached sheet that accompanies this information sheet. Note that there are separate team registration numbers for Women and Men.

 

2. Once Captains have registered, they must mail a $100.00 check for court deposit directly to Kathy Loepp at the address below. Please note that the deposit check can no longer be paid with a credit card on TennisLink. However, the check will NOT BE DEPOSITED unless a team defaults a court and the District must pay the court fees. At the end of the season, if no court defaults occur, the check will be destroyed.

 

3. When Kathy Loepp receives the Deposit Check, she will give the team captain the "official" team number that he/she should immediately provide to their team members to use for registration.

 

4. Team members, including the Captain, must register on TennisLink and pay the player fee of $15 ($12 player fee + $3 tennislink fee) with their credit card. Team members should register no later than Friday, July 15.

 

Note that players may be added to a team’s roster through TennisLink until two weeks before the final regularly scheduled match.

AGE The league is open to players turning 60 years of age in 2011 and older.

Dynamic NTRP is an enhanced tennis rating system that generates player ratings after each match is played during the course of a season. Current Year End Ratings for all Missouri Valley Section players are available on TennisLink. Simply click on "Find A Rating" on the right hand side of the page.

 

 

Players may play in more than one NTRP level during the same season (i.e., at the level at which players are rated and one level above.

 

Any player without a valid computer rating may "self-rate" on TennisLink. TennisLink will then a) prompt the player to answer questions regarding their tennis history and b) then be assigned a rating based on the answers provided on the Questionnaire. If a player does not agree with the rating assigned by TennisLink, he/she may file an appeal directly after completing the questionnaire. The Self Rate Appeal link is available on the rating assigned paged. The Appeal shall be submitted electronically.

 

All levels of play will play 3 doubles matches in each team match. Remember that all players must play a minimum of two matches during the season, one match may be a default awarded to the player, to participate in the Sectional Championships. A player must play in a minimum of 3 matches, no defaults counting, to participate in the National championships.

 

Each team should consist of a least six (6) players but not more than twelve (12) players.

 

Each match has a two-hour time limit, with a ten-minute warm-up. The procedures for timed matches shall be the same as the 2010-2011 Adult Winter Season.

 

There will be a $25 team fee paid directly via TennisLink + a $100.00 Deposit check that must be paid by check and mailed directly to Kathy Loepp. In addition, there is a $15 per player fee that must be paid by each player, including the Captain, using TennisLink. The player fee includes the $3 TennisLink fee. The team fee (paid by the Captain) and the player fee must be paid by credit card at the time of registration on TennisLink.

 

The HOA District will destroy the $100.00 deposit check at the end of the season provided there are no penalties for defaults. Every match a team defaults is deducted from this amount to pay for the court time.

COURT COST $12.00 Per Person (Includes Indoor Court Time + Balls). Captains should collect the fees from each member of their team and then pay the total amount to the club before a match starts. All matches will be played primarily at the Overland Park Racquet Club.
