2005 Girls Junior Ladder

Each Junior Ladder participant will play 8 matches with a different opponent each week:
January 8, 2005 February 26, 2005
January 15, 2005 March 5, 2005
January 29, 2005 March 12, 2005
February 5, 2005 March 19, 2005
February 12, 2005 April 2, 2005
February 19, 2005 April 9, 2005

Halfway through the Ladder I will determine if there is enough interest to play a tournament. It would still include the top 16 players and would take place April 16 and April 23.

Each match costs $8 per participant. You will play 8 game Pro-Sets (The first to 8 games, winning by 2 games) with No-Ad scoring. You play a 12 point tie-breaker at 8 all. (The first to 7 points, winning by 2 points) If you finish before the hour is up, please continue to play for the extra practice. If you have any questions regarding the scoring format please call me 722-3491.

If you have a conflict that you know of in advance, please contact your opponent as soon as possible. Everyone should remember that we are playing for the match experience. Please try to be accommodating by rescheduling your match if your opponent gives you 5 days or more notice. The player who cannot make the scheduled match time will lose by default. If you absolutely cannot make a match on short notice make every effort to reach your opponent and/or the Tennis Center (722-3491)

You will notice that there are more girls involved this year. Therefore, we have had to make adjustments in scheduling. Matches were originally scheduled to be played at 4 pm, 5 pm, 6 pm and 7 pm; however we have a scheduling conflict with Senior USTA Mixed Doubles league. Therefore, we have had to extend the ladder an extra 4 weeks to complete all of the matches. No longer will everyone be playing each weekend, so if you have a conflict please let me know and I will do my best to reschedule your match for a different weekend. You are still able to reschedule any matches on your own, but please let the tennis center know so we aren’t wasting court time.

For any questions or concerns throughout the ladder please call me 722-3491.

Thanks
Libby
