Rules: USATT rules will govern the games, equipment, clothing and conduct of players.
Time Schedule: On scheduled Wednesdays, from 7:30 pm to 10:30 pm.
- All players must check-in when they arrive. Cut off time is 7:45 pm.
- Share table to warm up between 7:30 to 8:00 pm. League games will start at 8:00 pm, sharp.
Ranking: We will use the already established league rating for returning players. New players will begin with existing USATT rating, if any. Un-rated new players will be given an initial rating by the organizer.
Format: All available league members will be put in groups of 3, 4, or 5 players, according to their rankings. Grouping may also be formed by random draw or by alternate sequence. The League coordinator will endeavor to do this as fairly as possible. The form of playing is Round Robin, best of 5 games.
Scoring system: 4 points for every match won. 1 point for match lost, plus 1 point for each game won. 0 point for default loss. The points will be used to decide who will enter the final playoffs.
Playoff Qualification & Awards:
a: Players must play at least 50% of the league to be eligible.
b: The top 4 players from each division will be qualified to enter the final Round Robin playoffs.
- Divisions: The organizer will divide the participants into 4 divisions, namely A, B, C & D, according
to the end ratings. As much as possible, we want to have even number of players in each division.
- If by the end of the season, the number of participants reaches 35 or more, five divisions will be created.
- The playoff date will be announced at the beginning of the league, or whenever decided.
e: Prizes will be awarded to the 1st place and 2nd place players from each division.
Divisions & Rating Brackets: The league coordinator will announce the divisions & rating brackets, based on the number of participants at the completion of the 8 sessions, or at the appropriate time.
Rating System: League rating will not affect your USATT rating.
