B. The preceding dates are absolute except for:1) National TennisLink malfunction, permanent move into district from another

district or dynamic disqualification from lower level. Players moving up from dynamic disqualification or permanently moving in from another district should contact the Kansas District Adult League Coordinator to be added to a roster after deadline, subject to individual coordinators’ discretion and overall league coordinators’ final decision.

who is promoted, the captain may replace that player within the time frame of scheduled matches for the season as players at this level should improve.

B. If a captain of an Adult or Senior Men’s or Women’s team at the 3.5 level or above has a player who is promoted, the captain may not replace that player. Captains should make this a consideration when establishing team rosters.

The promoted player may continue to play on that team paired with a partner whose rating corresponds with his/her new rating.

Section 6 -Guidelines for Self-Rated players: A. Players will only be allowed to “self-rate” if they do not have a valid computer rating

from league tennis anywhere in the United States. B. See last page in 2012 USTA League Regulations for specific age guidelines

regarding duration of NTRP computer ratings. C. Pl ayers with expired ratings will not be allowed to self-rate at a lower level than

their last published NTRP rating. However, they will have the opportunity to file a self-rate appeal.

D. Players should study the NTRP guidelines found at www.usta.com and should complete the entire Self-Rate questionnaire by answering every question honestly in


http://www.usta.com/


order to avoid disqualification and penalties that may result from attempts to be placed in an inappropriate level by the system.

E. Players should look at the NTRP ratings of Kansas players with whom you have played to be sure you are at level.

F. For future guidelines, players should consult a tennis professional or former head verifier.

G. If you have questions about appropriate level, you may contact the District League Coordinator about whom to contact.

H. Players, not the captain seeking to place players on a team, are responsible for their rating.

I. Players should take care not to register below their ability as they will be most susceptible to being moved up in the middle of a season and having matches forfeited.

J. A player will now generate a computer rating even if he or she only plays Mixed Doubles or sanctioned tournaments.

K. Players who are good athletes, or intend to spend a good deal of time taking lessons or practicing or who formerly played should be aware that their improvement may be significant enough to surpass their original self rating by the time they reach the end of the local league season or championship level. To avoid NTRP disqualification and forfeits, these players should enter at the higher level they hope/expect to attain.

L. Players disqualified during a league season must re-register and pay again to play on another team

Players who play one or more matches will not be eligible for a refund under any circumstances.

E. Players disqualified during a season, that player must re-register and pay again to play on another team.

F. The KDTA will pay court fees for matches played outdoors.G. Team captains are responsible for court fees for all matches played indoors (either

scheduled, or moved indoors due to bad weather). Those fees must be paid before



the match starts. Estimated court fees are $84.00, plus tax, per match. In case of a match forfeit the team not responsible for the forfeit will not be asked to pay for the unused court(s) and the forfeiting team will be required to pay an additional $28.00. Failure to fully pay fees may result in deposit forfeiture or match forfeiture or both.

H. Home teams are responsible for providing USTA approved tennis balls for matches. I. Teams advancing to Missouri Valley Section Championships and USTA National

Championships will receive ½ of the charged entry fee from the KDTA. Such payment will be provided after all Section and National Championships are concluded. Team entry fee is required for all teams attending Section or National Championships. Registration will be online. Team entry fee for Section Championships is approximately $250. Team entry fee for National Championships is approximately $450 or $550 (depending on 3 or 5 court format).

Section 8 – League Season/Match Scheduling:A. League matches for the Kansas Indoor and Outdoor League seasons will be

scheduled with each division (Adult, Senior, Mixed, Senior Mixed and Super Senior) playing one weekend each month. Last weekends of the month will be reserved for make up matches. Local league play may be scheduled on week nights if league numbers dictate the necessity.

B. Captains and players should use sound discretion when bad weather makes travel dangerous. District or local league coordinators may cancel matches if road conditions are hazardous. Decisions to cancel will be made only on the day of the match and will be based on current information from the Kansas Highway Patrol, the National Weather Service. Weather Spotters, etc. Contact the league coordinators the morning of the match if there are concerns.

C. Non weather related schedule changes are not permitted. D. Absent rain outs and depending on league participation, Outdoor League play

generally will not be scheduled on the following: Easter weekend Memorial Day (weekend) Mother’s Day ( day only) Father’s Day (day only) 4th of July (when falling on Friday, Saturday, Sunday or Monday)

E. KDTA Scheduler will attempt to avoid scheduling matches on weekends of traditional local tournaments in Salina, Topeka and Wichita. There are no guarantees.

Section 9 – Match ProceduresA. Captains should confirm court reservations with each other and the facilities to

insure correct location and times of matches 24 hours in advance.B. Captains must inform each other in advance, as much as is possible, of any default

minutes prior to the scheduled match time. D. Adult Men’s and Women’s Indoor League matches will be one court of Singles

and two courts of Doubles. Format for Adult Men’s and Women’s Outdoor League matches will be two courts of Singles and three courts of Doubles. Senior Men’s and Women’s, Super Senior Men’s and Women’s, Super 70’s, Mixed Doubles and Senior Mixed Doubles match formats will be three courts of Doubles. Tri-levels will have 2 3.5’s playing 2 3.5’s, 2 4.0s playing 2 4.0’s and 2 4.5’s playing 2 4.5’s.

E. Players need not be present at the time of the line-up exchange. F. Players arriving late will be penalized according to the following time frame and

game forfeits: 5 minutes or less: Loss of toss + one game 5:01 to 10 minutes: Loss of toss + 2 games 10:01 to 15 minutes: Loss of toss + 3 games More than 15 minutes: Default of match

G. Penalties may not be waived, even if the offended captain would consent to due to court rescheduling restraints. Captains should be sure players arrive on time.

H. Captains should confirm scores and sign the opponent’s scorecards to assure correct scores are recorded at the conclusion of the match.

I. Home team shall provide new USTA approved balls. J. The Tennis Link system must be used to record match results. K. Ten-minute warm-up is permitted. Matches scheduled for 10:00 am – actual play

is to begin no later than 10:10 am. This assumes the court was available at 10:00 am. Delays due to weather, or earlier matches will result in appropriate adjustment.

L. All warm-up serves shall be taken before the start of the match. Do not warm up the serve of the player serving first; play the first game, then warm-up the serve of the other player. Do it all before the first point of the match.

M. If rain interrupts a match in progress, the captains are to document the exact score, service, and side of court. Resumed matches shall pick-up exactly as left off. This is true whether there is a ten-minute delay, or a two-week delay.



N. A player may expect no more than a 30 minute break between back-to-back matches.

O. All electronic communication devices (cell phones, pagers, etc.) must be OFF while players are on the court.

Section 10 – KDTA Adult League Forfeit Rule USTA rules state #2 Singles court must be forfeited before #1 Singles. Further stating #3 Doubles must be forfeited before #2 Doubles, and on to # 2 Doubles before # 1 Doubles. Kansas District has elected to impose additional rules. In the event a team must play with fewer than the required minimum number of players as stated previously (Section 3 B) the following forfeit policy will apply:

# of Players Available Action

7 Forfeit #2 Singles

6 Forfeit #3 Doubles

5 Forfeit #2 Singles & #3 Doubles

4 Forfeit #2 & #3 Doubles

3 or fewer Forfeit Match

All forfeited matches are recorded as a 6-0, 6-0 score for the winner, and 0-6, 0-6 for the loser (forfeiting team).

A. If both teams are missing players, the above plan shall generally be followed, using the guidelines for the team with the fewest players so that the maximum number of players present can play. Both teams will forfeit the courts in which they can not field a full team. Term used in TennisLink is “double default” for entering scores in the scorecard.

B. If a team default occurs, the results in TennisLink will remain. Final team standings will be determined at the end of the League season by the District Coordinator manually tallying match results. A team default received cannot be the deciding factor in determining final team standings.



1) If all teams in contention for championship played valid matches against the defaulting team, those match results stand as played in determining final team standings.

2) If any team in contention for championship received a default win, none of the defaulting team’s matches in that round robin will count in determining final team standings.

3) If a defaulting team is in contention for championship, the match default committed will stand in the defaulting team’s record as a 0-5 loss (0-3 for 3 court formats).

C. Notify the league scheduler as soon as possible if match dates must change. The League Scheduler must have notice within one week that a mutually agreed upon date for a changed match date has been set by captains involved in changing match dates. Rescheduled matches MUST NOT overlap from one season to the other as in Indoor and Outdoor league seasons. Rescheduled matches in the Outdoor league season must be completed one week before the posted District Playoff dates or be counted as defaults for both teams and both deposit checks WILL BE FORFEITED.

Section 11 – Weather PolicyA. League Coordinators and schedulers do not have special ability to predict

weather. The weather channel is the same at your house as it is the coordinators. (i.e. don’t call at 5 am and ask if it’s going to be raining in 4 hours.)

B. Host captains shall be responsible for securing indoor facilities, if necessary and available and shall make every effort to play on the day scheduled to avoid tennis link problems.

C. Host captains are asked to be responsible for all matches being played at their level, in their city/site, on a given day. (For example, we use schedule formats that often bring 2 teams from other cities to a 3rd city to play – Salina, Topeka, and Wichita may gather in Wichita to all play. The Wichita captain is asked to secure courts for the matches between Salina and Topeka, as well as the matches involving the Wichita team.)

D. Make every attempt to play matches on the date it is scheduled. This might involve playing indoors, or waiting a few hours for a storm to pass and courts to dry.

E. Play interrupted by rain should continue indoors if courts are available. All games and points shall be recorded and play is to resume exactly where it left off. Match locations that do not have indoor court facilities will require play to be rescheduled.

F. Team captains are responsible for court fees for indoor matches. (See Sect. 7 G.)G. Kansas weather changes rapidly. We have all witnessed, many times, heavy rains

followed by sunshine and dry courts within an hour. It can also rain all day.



H. The KDTA recognizes that lengthy travel is often required and that most players don’t want to drive 2 or 3 hours only to get rained out. When this threat exists:

I. Coordinate with the host captain.J. Rely on weather radar and local forecasts.K. If prudent, delay the start times of the matches.L. Secure indoor courts, if possible.M. Exchange cell phone numbers and communicate.N. Captains are responsible to inform their players of match location and time

changes.O. Notify the league scheduler Jason Doll at [email protected] of changes in

play dates due to weather problems within 48 hours so computer forfeits are not entered.

P. Captains are asked to reschedule complete or partial rainouts within one week of the original match date. The league scheduler shall be notified of the proposed make up date and site and must approve both. ( This does not mean the make up match must be played within one week, simply that the new date is scheduled and approved. )

Q. Rainouts not rescheduled within this time frame will be re-scheduled by the league scheduler. (After one week and the league scheduler has not been given a make-up date, the scheduler will reschedule.) Captains may not like the rescheduled date so make every effort to reschedule by agreement. All rescheduled matches must be complete, not piecemeal, matches.

R. Captains of teams residing in the same city should decide 30 minutes prior to the scheduled match start whether to play, move indoors or reschedule. If indoor courts are available for the matches to be played it is advisable to play as many teams as possible. If court time is limited so that only two or three lines can be played, put on doubles teams first and consider playing singles lines at a rescheduled time.

S. Summary:1) Make every attempt to play on the scheduled date.2) Delays in start times are permissible due to bad weather (Communicate with the

tennis facility if they have a phone/staff to ensure court availability.)3) Changes in plans (moving indoors, re-scheduling times or dates) shall be done

by the participating captains by agreement.4) The host captain shall be responsible for logistics when weather becomes a

factor.

Section 12 – On Court Rules and ConductPlease follow “the code” as it appears in the Friend at Court.

Section 13 – Match ScoringA. Adult, Senior and Super Senior Men and Adult and Senior Mixed Doubles

and Men’s Tri-level matches shall be best 2 out of 3 sets in Indoor and Outdoor League play.



1) A set tiebreak shall be used at 6 -6 in all sets. Traditional Tiebreak procedure shall be followed. See Section 13 D & E for procedures when matches are played indoors or otherwise have a time constraint.
