Fall Team Tennis: Alternates |
 |
|
- 1. All remaining SDTF members not assigned to an official team roster are considered eligible alternates.
- 2. The Ranking Committee will assign each alternate a rank relative to the regular player rankings.
- 3. Captains are responsible for securing their own alternates. A player from another team can be used as an alternate only if a good faith effort has been made to find one from the list of alternates.
- 4. An alternate is reported to the Commissioners by the reporting deadline and then becomes a member of the official line up for that week.
- 5. Alternates must have the same, or lower, ranking than the player they are replacing.
- 6. Alternates must play both the singles and doubles match.
- 7. There is a half-point deduction for each alternate used. There are no “free” alternates in Fall Team Tennis, except for players who are verifiable entrants in an official GLTA event or other GLBT sporting event that would affect a significant number of players.
- 8. If an alternate is reported after the lineup deadline or is a “no show” for the match, the opposing team captain may allow a last minute substitution. An automatic 1˝ point deduction and a substitution penalty will apply for using the substitute.
