Organization Overview
The WTPL was created to provide an opportunity for Women to play competitive matches with a partner of their choice. You and your partner do not need to be from the same club. You will only play with your selected partner and you will be playing in a Division/Pod of other partnerships of a similar skill level. This will make each match competitive for your skill level and hopefully fun for all players.
WTPL Structure
Each Partnership will be placed in a Division with other teams. You will be given a schedule of matches - one per week, however, you can schedule any match in any order as long as your opponents agree. The scheduling is flexible and solely up to you and your opponents. For each match one team will be designated the Home team because they will be responsible for booking the court at the agreed upon date/time and responsible for providing a can of balls. If you all agree and it turns out the away team can find a court at the desired time, the match can be played at the away location but the designated Home team should still provide the match balls. Home team is responsible for entering scores.
Schedule and Play
ALL efforts should be made to play or reschedule matches. Default wins will ONLY be awarded IF the match has been confirmed by both teams and one team fails to show up at the confirmed time. If there is a last minute emergency/covid/illness, the team MUST contact the other team at least 2 hours prior to the start in order to avoid a default loss – all other situations will result in matches going as un-played. Please Note: ALL default wins will be reviewed and approved by the league Commissioners.
ALL play will follow the Official Rules of Tennis found on the USTA website.
Sportsmanship
Good sportsmanship is expected during all levels of competition.
