D. CANCELLED MATCHES

 

1. Cancelled matches are those that never commenced.

2. In case of inclement weather, heat conditions (95 degrees or hotter), poor air quality (Air Quality Index greater than 200), or other causes outside the control of both teams, the match may be cancelled by mutual agreement from both captains. The match should be rescheduled as soon as possible. Captains should notify their respective teams about the cancellation . . .

 

PASSED WITH NO OBJECTIONS

P. 20

5. The Executive Board has the discretion to move the last place team down if

that team loses the division two years in a row or there is no room in a level.  It may also move an existing team up a level based on the proposed roster, level of play and diversity of clubs at the level.

 

PASSED WITH NO OBJECTIONS

REQUIREMENT FOR NEW OR RECONFIGURED TEAMS

1. A reconfigured team is defined as two existing teams combining to form one

team or an existing team splitting into two with the addition of new players.

A maximum of 4 players from an existing team (including those who may be mandated) may move up to the same higher Division team/location.

 

PASSED WITH NO OBJECTIONS

 

 

THESE REVISED RULES (IF PASSED BY THE CAPTAINS) WILL BE IMPLENTED AT THE START OF THE 2024-2025 SEASON.  

 

 

INCREASE OF LEAGUE FEES

 

Motion was made to increase the League fees to $200 per team starting with the 2024-2025 season.  The reason is because the league has been supplementing the cost of the Awards Luncheon for the past several luncheons in an effort to keep the price per ticket down.   

 

PASSED WITH NO OBJECTIONS

 

 

OTHER DISCUSSIONS 

 

1. Rostered players who played no matches should be moved to the sub list at the next roster change period.

 

2. We discourage players with 3.5 USTA ratings to be put on a D1 roster.

 

3. The WTL does not use Tennis Record estimated dynamic ratings when determning line designations.  We follow our own WTL stats along with USTA ratings to determine players’ ability.  It is up to the captains to determine the order of strength of their players when determining lines.  

 

 

Respectfully submitted

Barbara Garner - Secretary Treasurer

Making Roster Changes

Making Roster Changes 
by Barbara Garner

Making roster changes is a two-step process.  

1. To change a Line designation, do the following: 

Log in as captain.  On the left, you will see “Membership”.  Go to “Player Search” and type in the name of the player whose line you would like to change.  Once the name pops up, press “Edit”.  Once the player information comes up, scroll down to where it says “Player Position”.  You can then change the line designation for that player.

 
2. When changing a player’s status do the following:

To change a player from a sub to a line payer, or vice versa, click on “Admin” at the top of the page.  Click on “Team Leagues”.  Your team should then show up with all the players as either a “Substitute” or “Line Player” next to their name. You can then change their designation.  You can also add a player as a “Sub-up” if need be.  

If you are removing a player from your roster, just click on the minus sign next to their name.  If you want to add a player that is already in your club, find their name on the left-hand side where they are in alphabetical order. Find the name of the player and press the plus sign.  That will move them onto your team.
 
If a player is moving from one club to another, please don’t add them as a new player.  Contact me at barbiegarn@aol.com and I will transfer them to the proper club.  This will avoid duplication of players.  


And -- don't forget to press SAVE!
