Hello everyone
Hope you are ready to finally play some tennis outside.
RTL is starting its 20th season this spring about 19 years since its inaugural session.
Please bear through my long post since it contains some important information.
Session I schedule is ready and posted on the links below
Please check it for errors (you are playing someone twice , your name is not on there etc.).
Session I: Key Information
Start Date: Officially starts on April 28th, but matches can be played earlier.
Players: 95 players (81 in men's/co-ed league and 14 in women's). Some divisions will have 7 players with one bye week allowing you even more time to catch up .
Postponed Matches: While we strongly recommend playing weekly and keeping up with the schedule, matches can be postponed and played later during the session.
Session Duration: Last day to play and report scores is June 16th.
DNP/Forfeits: Incomplete/unreported matches by June 16th will be recorded as DNP (Did Not Play) or forfeits. A DNP results in a 0.5-point deduction for each player.
Format is round robin. At the end of this session top two players in each division get to move up, and bottom two drop down.
Flexible Scheduling: There is flexibility, but due to weather and court availability, completing matches could be challenging. It’s recommended to take advantage of early scheduling and avoid getting behind too many rounds.
Punctuality and Attendance
Players are expected to arrive at the agreed-upon time for all scheduled matches. If your opponent is more than 15 minutes late and fails to call , you have the right to leave and record a forfeit win.
No-shows are strongly discouraged. Multiple instances of failing to show up without prior notice may result in suspension from the league.
We appreciate your commitment to keeping things running smoothly and ensuring fairness for all participants.
Contacting Players:
Players are expected to respond quickly to their opponents texts/emails . Please let me know if your opponent is not responding in a timely manner.

Courts and providing tennis balls :
Info on court locations and availability can be found here: Court Info Link
Matches are played on local public courts with free access or anywhere else two players agree on.
Each player needs to bring a can of unused balls, racket spin is done before the match to determine who provides the balls for that match.
RTL doesn't own, claim or reserve any courts for our matches.
