Here is a little update as we are finishing with singles sign-up for session I.
Men's/co-ed league will have 9 divisions with 8 players in each. We have 1 open spot left in division 9 and 1 open spot in women's league.
After these openings are filled all new players will be placed in the casual division and eventually we will move them to the main league for session II.
At this time I am working on the schedule and hoping to post it a couple of weeks before the season starts.
Session I starts April 25th.
Returning players will be placed according to their past scores . Players that participated in RTL before will have preferred placement . As always, placing new RTL members will be more challenging. Weather permitting we hope to set some pre season matches that will help us determine their levels in regards to RTL. Since session I starts pretty early it will be tough to screen all newcomers so any feedback about your skill level is helpful For example if you played someone from RTL before , participated in USTA leagues, etc.
Some of you new players might be placed a bit lower or higher for the first session but eventually you will get to the division that is at your level. In between each session top to players in each division move up a bottom 2 drop down.

Assistant organizers
If anyone else is interested in helping us input scores for the league this year let me know. Normally one assistant organizer takes care of scores and standings for 2 divisions. It's a pretty simple process of entering scores in a google spreadsheet. You would enter 8 scores every week.
I believe we can take one or two more people.
RTL Juniors
I had a couple of parents inquiring about a possibility of setting up a pilot junior division within RTL for players under 18 y/o. It would provide weekly matches similar to our adult league.
Not sure if there is enough interest for something like this but if you know someone who might consider participating send them my way.
So long for now , have a great week and hopefully we will be able to get out on the courts soon.
