Some sub-related Items:
 
CONTACT
1.  A good way to go is to try calling or eMailing potential subs using the contact info. distributed with the schedule or available (with password) here.  Another option, especially if there is fewer than 8 hours until play time, is Group eMail.

SELECTION
2.  Try to get a sub at about your level (see guidance on schedule).  Therefore, do not send out a request that says something like, “First to respond gets it.”

3.  Responses to your sub request will be tentative awaiting your selection.  MAKE SURE after you've picked someone that you get their affirmation that they know it and will sub.

4.  If you're due to bring balls, tell your sub.

NOTIFY
5.  ALWAYS be sure to tell me (Jon) who you've arranged to sub.  Also, tell all responders to your sub need of your decision.

WHILE AT TENNIS
6.  A sub can't move a player up (for the next time the player plays for himself).  However, a sub CAN move a player down. 
 
7.  After the 2nd round, subs automatically lose flips vs. scheduled players.  However, a high-scoring sub keeps other players on the court from moving up.
 
COST
8.  Since players have pre-paid for their tennis, subs generally play for no charge.  Then again, players are free to work out with their subs whatever they want moneywise.
