Divisions & Events

(maximum draw in parenthesis)

40+ Age Rule: A player may enter 40+ events if the player will have reached the age of 40 years old by December 31, 2008.

Split Division's Allowed: Players are allowed to play in different divisions if they wish to do so. For example, a player can play B singles and C doubles (so long as their rankings allow). Note though that doing this may make your schedule of matches a little more difficult and cause you to have a minimum rest period, or longer rest periods than you might like between matches. Players electing to play in 40+ events may not play in a corresponding regular events, due to scheduling conflicts. For example, you can't play 40+ A singles and Men's A Singles. But you can play 40+ A singles and Men's A Doubles. Got it? The 40+ singles and doubles are for both men and women. Women are invited to sign up either at their level, or one level lower than their rating.

World Team Tennis competition includes singles, doubles and mixed doubles and replaces the mixed doubles we've offered in years past. The winning WTT team qualifies for the WTT National Qualifiers and the opportunity to play at the Nationals and meet Billie Jean King. In addition, WTT will provide players who lose early in singles and doubles the opportunity to play extra tennis while socializing more with players of different abilities. It will also provide a climatic ending to the tournament!
