Team Tennis Fall 2008: 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 act 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 Commissioners by the reporting deadline via email. Once reported to the Commissioners, the alternate(s) becomes a member of the official line up for that week

  7. Point deductions for alternates will be determined at the upcoming Captains meeting.

  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.
