| |
| What is a Impact Team Tennis team? |
| A team must have two men and two women, as a minimum, to play in a match. However we require each team to register at least three men and three women (12 players maximum - local rule). This allows for periods of rest and missing matches. I have also substitutes for team back-ups, just in case. |
| |
| Who can play? |
| Adults (18 & over) may sign up as a team or as an individual. Current end of year 2022 and self rated 2023 USTA ratings are used for the league. If you do not have an USTA rating, you must self rate on the USTA site through TennisLink as all players must have an USTA rating. |
| |
| When do leagues start? |
| Play begins at the end of March. |
| |
| Sign-Up Deadline: 25, March, 2023 |
| At least two men and two women need to be registered by the deadline. However players can continue to signup/register after the deadline. |
| |
| What Divisions (levels of play) are offered? |
| The levels of play being offered are 3.0, 3.5, and 4.0. |
| |
| Determining Team Rating |
| The average NTRP rating of the top two men and top two women players on your team determines the team rating. |
| |
| Example: |
| |
Joe- 4.5 |
Mary- 3.5 |
| |
Tom- 4.5 |
Jill-3.5 |
| |
Bill- 4.0 |
Gail- 3.5 |
| |
Joe- 4.5 |
Mary- 3.5 |
| |
Jim- 3.5 |
Joan- 3.0 |
| |
| The best two men and two women are: 4.5 + 4.5 + 3.5 + 3.5 = 16. 16 divided by 4 equals 4.0. |
| |
| This team could register for the 4.0 division or a higher division. A team consists of a minimum of two men and two women.
Although the limit to the number of team members is ten, the suggested number of players is three men and three women.
