* To participate in this program you have to be available for both time slots each week.

Maximum # of Registrants: 40 male & female members will be accepted into the Thursday Night Competitive League & 32 players will play each week. So you can expect to play a minimum of 4 out of every 5 weeks.

General League Details:
You do not require a doubles partner to register for this program – you sign up as a “single.”

This league is “gender blind,” which means 1, 2 , 3 or 4 males/females could be on a particular court each league night.

Each week by Monday (the latest), the league Convener will email out the time slots for the “playing” roster, and also the “sub” roster (those not scheduled to play).

You’ll be assigned a court with 3 other players on week #1 (based on your assessed level) and then you’ll move up or down courts based on a “Progressive” format there- after

Progressive Format: Each league night you will attempt to play with each of the other 3 players assigned to your court for 1 rotation of 6 games and 1 tiebreak each. When your 90 minute time slot expires you will report the total number of games you won to the convener. The players who finish 1st & 2nd move up a court the following week. The players who finish 3rd & 4th move down a court the following week.
