Longboat Key Senior Clay Courts Super Cat II

You may enter one singles and one doubles. Two doubles divisions will not be allowed. more info

All singles and doubles will begin on Tuesday, December 3rd. The only exception is, if you receive a bye, your first match will be Wednesday.

The doubles will use a Round-Robin draw format in all divisions. As an example, a division with 16 teams will divide into 4 groups of 4 teams. Each team will play a two out of three set match with a 10-point match tie-break to decide the 3rd set. The team with the best record in each group will advance to a single elimination play-off where 3 full sets will be played. Draws that have groups less than 4 teams will have the opportunity of additional matches against other teams that did not qualify for the elimination draw. This method has been endorsed by the National Senior Men's Tennis Association for tournament play.
