Stonington COMO Platform Tennis League Rules of Play

 

As soon as the match is played, one member of the winning team must be responsible for emailing the exact score to: sjccsinc@aol.com; subject line put "Stonington Scores." Type teams names, i.e. "Clancy/Metzger vs James/Lobdell;" Winners: "Clancy/Metzger;" Scores: "6-4, 1-6, 6-3."

For complete instructions, please see How to Report Your Scores

Match Result Points Earned
Win (played)=2 points
Win (default)=2 points
Loss (played)=1 point
Loss (default)=0 points
Not Played=0 points

Scoring for levels 1 and 2 are Head to Head; meaning the tied teams, whether it is a 2, 3 or more tied teams, will be compared to each other. If you start with 3 or more teams tied, you restart at "First Level" once 1 or more of the teams is eliminated from the tie and there are still two or more teams tied.

First Level: Matches won - Head to Head

Win = 1 point

Lose = 0 points

Second Level: Number of sets won - Head to Head

For each of the teams still tied at the first level of scoring; a default win will count as 2 sets won. A retired match will be scored with enough games added to complete the match. So given the retired match example above, the 0-3 win for team A will be considered 6-3, 6-0 for the tiebreaking purposes.

Third Level: Number of Matches Played

For each of the teams still tied at the second level of scoring; the total number of matches played by each team will be taken into consideration. The team with the fewest number of defaults will win the tiebreaker.

Fourth Level: Number of All Games Won*

For each of the teams still tied at the third level of scoring; a default win should count as 6-0, 6-0. Also, as in the second tiebreaker, for a retired match enough games will be added to complete the match.

*ALL means, all matches that team played in their flight during the season.

The team with the higher number gets the higher ranking.

If a team must retire from a match due to injury, sickness or a personal commitment, the match is ended, and the opposing team receives the win. The score is recorded up to the point of interruption. For example, if team A is losing 3-0 and team B must retire, the score is reported as a win for team A and the score is 0-3, retired.

Mid-season partner changes due to injury, move, etc. will be allowed upon approval from the coordinator (Ann Lobdell). Once a change has been made, it is expected that this new partner will finish the rest of the season. The new partner must have a COMO paddle pass. No partner changes are allowed for Play-Off matches.

New teams may enter the league at the beginning of either the Fall or Winter sessions.
