  Team Tennis Spring 2010: Alternates
  1. All remaining SDTF members not assigned to an official team roster are considered eligible Team Tennis alternates.

  2. The Ranking Committee will assign alternates a rank relative to the current roster of Team Tennis players and their rankings.

  3. When required, Team Captains are responsible for securing their own alternates. If a good faith effort has been made to find an alternate from the list of alternates and a replacement still cannot be found then, and only then, should a player from another team be approached to play as an alternate.

  4. Alternates must have the same, or lower, ranking than the player they are replacing.

  5. Alternates must play both the singles and doubles match. A Team Captain may not make a substitution with an alternate to play only singles or only doubles.

  6. Alternates must be reported to the Commissioner by 3:00pm the day before the match via email. Once reported to the Commissioner, the alternate(s) becomes a member of the official line up for that week.

  7. During the regular season the first alternate for a team is without penalty; for two alternates the team is deducted ½ a point; for three alternates, 1 point deduction; for four alternates, 1½ points deduction; and so on.

  8. If a line up player is a no show for his/her match, it's up to the discretion of the opposing team captain to decide if a last minute substitution will be allowed. In the event that teams play with a last minute substitution, a 1½ point deduction is automatic in addition to any penalty that may already apply for using the substitute. Captains may NOT agree to waive the last minute substitution penalty.
