Flex League 2018  Rules & Scoring

Below are TennisPAL’s official rules for the 2018 Flex League. Please read these carefully

• Contact people on the list and organize your match at a location and time you both agree on (there is no order on who to call first)
• Split the court fees
• Bring a can of new balls; play with one and the winner will take the other one
• Play 2 out 3 sets, regular scoring
  • If you feel there is not enough court time and would like to play a 10-point tiebreaker in lieu of a 3rd set, the decision has to be made before the start of the match and both parties have to agree. If the opponent is not in agreement, you should play a 3rd set. The 10-point tiebreaker will be reported as 7-6 to make it consistent with actual 3rd set result.
• Respond to request for play even if the answer is no
• Report your score to TennisPAL Concierge
• Players earn points based on the system explained below (Earning Points)
• A player’s league position is based on his/her total points earned.

• The champion will win a $50 gift card and a trophy
• Finalists will receive trophies
