Manhattan / Brooklyn Tennis Partners
Rules and Regulations
Heres some of the rules for the following cities tennis leagues:
Manhattan Tennis, Newport Beach Tennis and Campbell Tennis
1) Match Format (2 out of 3 sets)
uses the best two out of three 6-game pro sets w/ ads. If a set goes to 6-6 a first to 7-point tiebreaker should be used to determine the victor of the set. The tiebreaker format should be used for all 3 sets.
1b) 2 sets with 3rd set tie-breaker
If the match is tied and the match is running too long, the players can agree to play a 10-point super tie-breaker to decide the match.
1c) 10 game pro set
If the participants agree before the match or you are limited to 1-hour of court time, a 10-game pro set can be used with ads. This means the first to win 10 games. But, if the match is ended because of a time restriction than the score at the end is the score for the match. At 9-9, a best to 7-point tiebreaker will be used to determine the winner.
2) Tennis Balls
Line calls must be made without postponement by the person playing the ball; otherwise, the ball shall be presumed to have been good. In common, no ball can be called out upon less than 100% certainty. The better approach on a call that both players differ on is to replay the point.
4) Shifting court ends
The organization wants players to chose a location to play that is convenient for both participants.
6) Abiding by the rules of the court at which you are playing.
Participants need to abide by the rules of the facility they are playing at. Participating in a matchup doesn’t give you privileges to break the rules of the local court. If we receive word that players are improperly using the League name in such events it will lead to immediate removal from the league.
Rematches are now allowed!
The program is now granting players to play a rematch per opponent per season. The doctrine is that the regular season is all about playing and the playoffs are where champions are determined. This will hopefully make getting to 5 wins a little easier for some players.
