Captains: It is your responsibility to ensure that the match are correctly scheduled and you have a confirmed email from your opposing team captain. If there is a problem - you need to contact your flight coordinator as soon as possible (by email and phone). Home team captain must contact the opposing captain at least ten (10) days prior to the match to discuss if there are any changes of the time or place of a match (Internet scheduled times are assumed to be correct – unless agreed upon by both captains in writing and notice of change sent to Flight Coordinator); and the proper order of teams playing if other than all at once.  For those matches that will be the second or third at a particular club and/or site – individual courts will be called based on court availability after the agreed upon team match scheduled-starting time. Courts will be called from the top down in singles and/or doubles (see note below). This is especially important for captains of facilities with fewer than five (5) courts.

Captains: Please be sure to communicate with the other captains in your subflights/flights. Please be sure to use email - that way you have electronic proof of your communications.

COMAN TIEBREAK: The John B. Coman Tiebreak is the same as the present Tiebreak except that ends are changed after the first point, then after every four points, and at the conclusion of the Tiebreak.  This is used for both the set and match break. < If you have questions regarding this; please contact your flight coordinator or the NEOTA Office> *** exact rule***

If your team participates in the league program, please contact a facility about hosting your team. Once you have a hosting facility, please remind them that by hosting your team;  the facility has now agreed to supply your team with courts throughout the entire league season. This means that if your team is scheduled for a home match that you and your team will have the courts available for match play at your hosting facility at the designated date and time.

Any questions about this; please contact your level coordinator.
