Captain

The league committee/administration would like to thank you for being your team leader and organizer. Please remember that you need to understand all the rules, regulations and policies of the league program in NEOTA. Thank you again for handling this responsibility as required by the USTA National League Rules.

Please check on the Resources page for all your information, documents, and forms that you might need for the league. You should also be using the USTA/TennisLink - your "My Page"! You can also find help at these locations: NTRP Level committee members ,USTA's CAPTAINS CLUB

Captains: please be aware of all deadlines!

Captain/Representative Obligation:(click here)

This is the option available for NEOTA and Midwest policy.

Needed for the League Obligation (all forms/rules available at our league website).

1.) Please remember to choose ALL the possible teams for the ENTIRE tennis season (spring, summer, fall) that you may either be a captain or rosterd member of the team. A captain/representative is required to meet in the obligation yearly (but may do it only once in a calendar year).

2.) Obligation requirement due dates are listed on the calendar page

3.) Please have your team representatives name as the second contact person on the team information sheet (which we hope to do online in the near future) and for that person to check the vera site with their log in information for the team number. If you do not list the representative as the second contact person; then our level committee members will be unable to list a team number for your respective team. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.

4.) Small meetings maybe provided in the future for training in the new web application. Personal help is always available from the level committee members.

Team number process and team fee payment policies:

After completing the registration process you will notice that your team choices are now listed on your vera.us.com home page along with your other information.

After you (the person who complete the obligation) have sent your team captain waiver form and team information sheet to your proper ntrp level committee member and they have verified it and your obligation results they will then enter your team number into the vera.us.com system (usually within 48 – 72 hours after your forms have been verified). Remember to use your log in name and password to view your teams number at: www.vera.us.com

You (the person who complete the obligation) will then see a team number listed after each of your team choices for use with your players registration on TennisLink.

Payment option for team fee is available online. Please click here to pay your team fee. Only online payment is accepted.*

Facilities - if you are paying for your teams (their team fee) .

We are bringing the NEOTA league program into the 21st century. Thus the league committee hopes that you will enjoy the convenience of payment of all NEOTA league fees online.

Each of the facilities will need to have their league facilitator/coordinator/manager register on the new system. www.vera.us.com

Please remember that you do NOT have to do the captain obligation portion of the site (even though it reminds you).

Each facility will be able to process as many teams as they host at their facility. (The application program manager recommends that you can process up to 25 teams online in a session; but you can do as many as you want). Payment is done through either a credit card (just like USTA) or an e-check.

This way all team fees can be processed by the required date in the NEOTA rules and the scheduling process can begin as stated by the NEOTA league rules..

. Online payment will only be accepted*

* If you have a concern regarding this matter please contact the NEOTA DLC. This is an adjustment the committee made after the league rules were published to rule 7.01g. The online payment is required as of Feb. 15, 2013.
