7:30 - 9:30pm indoors (virtually) every Monday night.
Men’s doubles (actually one woman plays in the league)
Ladder-type format –
1st hour: Warm up for 10 minutes or so. Then you play 4 games with each
of the other three players on your court. Whoever has the most number of wins moves up a court and whoever has the fewest
moves down.
2nd hour. Play 6 games with each
player on the court – again most wins moves up (for next time scheduled) and fewest wins move down. Ties are broken by racket spin or by played tiebreakers
League “Feel”
Caliber
of play is from USTA 3.5 to 4.0 with a few 4.5s sprinkled in. I keep track of results so that each week you’re
scheduled to play where your prior play places you. So, you should always, or at least usually, be playing with folks
at your level.
Atmosphere of the league: If social is 0 and competitive is 10, I’d say our league is
a 7 or 8.
Scheduling and Administration
We have 3 seasons: Fall (Sept through mid-January), Spring (Late January
through May), and Summer (June through August).
Before I make the schedule,
players have total flexibility about when and how often they want to play – full time, half time, 1/month, and even
something like “None through 7/15, then every other week after that.” And, if there are any dates you know
now you need to be scheduled off, I can easily accommodate. After the schedule comes out, each scheduled player is either
to show up or arrange a sub (who plays for no charge). A list of players, potential subs, phone numbers, and eMail addresses
is included with the schedule.
During the Fall and
Spring seasons, we have 35+ guys scheduled to play, and we occupy 5-6 courts every week. During Summer, we have fewer
players scheduled, so we end up with 4-5 courts each night.
