Rules

These are the Rules as I understand them based on the Captains’ Meeting (2008) and on past years’ play. These Rules are UNOFFICIAL until they have been adopted by the GJTA.

Set Scoring. (Not game scoring as has occurred in the past.)

Play. Five Singles. Five Doubles.

Forfeits. Forfeits will be scored as 1 Set - 0 Set, 10 Games - 0 Games. Players must be ready to play within 10 minutes of the official start. If neither team is able to provide player(s) for a particular set then no score shall be entered for that particular set.

Continuous season starting 06 May 2008. (We are not playing "halves" as we had done in the past since we are unsure of the construction downtime at the courts. There will be NO make up matches to cover the construction down time.)

Rain dates all Sundays, plus 29 July, and 31 July. (Rain outs will be played on Sundays at 6 PM. Rained out matches will be queued - the top of the list will play first.)

Faded rules listed above have been recently (17 JULY) rescinded by three of the teams. When the new rules are forwarded to me I will update this site.
