USPTA Men's 4.0 League

Men's 4.0 USPTA Fall League

Seven total teams will play a single round robin (6 team matches) with the top 3 teams at the end of the round robin advancing into a 3 team round robin playoff. In order to advance to Houston all players on the winning team must have played at least two round robin matches plus at least one playoff match. Default wins/losses do not count as a match played except in the playoff round robin. Tie break procedures will follow the total points then the percentage standings columns on the scoreboard from left to right.

Please notice that all matches that would have fallen on Monday 9/5 (Labor Day) are scheduled for Wednesday 9/7.

OPTION 3:

Play each team 1 time (Option 1) and then the TOP THREE teams will have a playoff where the 1st play team will begin the playoffs with 5 points, the second place team will begin the playoffs with 3 points and the third place team will begin with 0 points. The first place team will host both 2nd and 3rd place teams at their location and the 3rd place team will travel to both the 1st place and 2nd place teams. Match schedule will be posted once the top three teams are determined following the round robin league. Points from the round robin season are not carried over into the playoffs. Option 3 will require each player on the winning team to have played a total of 2 league matches plus at least one playoff match to advance to Houston.

League Information: The East Texas USPTA adult league is open for all players ages 18 & above as of the end of 2022. Players do not have to be a member of the USTA or USPTA to participate. Teams consist of a minimum of 6 players eligible to compete at the team’s level of play. Teams may have no more than 1 player rated more than .5 below the teams level of play. ALL teams must have at least (4) players with a valid rating or self rating at the same level as the teams entered division of play. Please note the "MORE than .5 below". An example of this rule would be that a 3.5 team cannot have MORE than 1 player rated 2.5 or below. A 3.5 team could have several 3.0 players since 3.0 is not MORE than .5 below the 3.5 teams level of play. Players should play by their most recent published USTA rating. Any player who was DQ'd at any time after December 2021 ratings were published must play at that higher rating. If a player appealed his/her rating he/she must play by the appealed decision. If a player already has a self rating from earlier leagues and no published rating then that self rating must be used. Players with no rating may join any team he/she feels he/she is eligible for. Self rated players (following USTA NTRP guidelines) are subject to review and disqualification at any time by local USPTA pros committee. Ratings entered by players on their EastTexasTennis.topdoglive.com account are not always current since they are entered by the player at the time he/she creates their account.
