| Singles League: Format |
 |
|
- The league coordinator will give players a schedule that shows the dates that each player is scheduled to play.
- The league coordinator will provide the tennis balls.
- Matches are best 2 out of 3 set, regular Ad-scoring, 12 point tie-breakers. If time is running out for the 3rd set, the players can agree to switch to no-ad scoring if they want to finish the match, but it isn't necessary to finish the match because a player's ranking each week is based on how many games are won out of the total number of games played.
- During the first three weeks of play, each player will be assigned to a court with another player on a random basis (i.e., by drawing numbers from a hat) to play a best of three set match.
- At the conclusion of the third week of random play, all players will be ranked according to their cumulative win/loss ratio.
- Beginning with the fourth week, the top group of players will randomly draw to determine their court assignments, and the second group of players will also randomly draw to determine their court assignments. 6 slips of paper with the numbers 1-3 (i.e., two 1's, two 2's etc.) are put into a hat with each player in the group drawing a number. The number 1s play each other, the number 2s play each other, etc. The process is then repeated for the second group of 6 players.
- Cumulative win/loss ratios will be calculated throughout the season. The cumulative win/loss ratio is calculated based on total number of games won divided by total number of games played, not based on total number of matches won. Thus, it is to the advantage of players to always do their best in every game played.
- The coordinator will post the win/loss ratios each week so that players can measure their progress over the course of the season.
