$200 REWARD |
|
$200 REWARD FOR
ROUNDING UP
NEW TENNIS PLAYERS
Help get
adults to play
USTA League Tennis and earn $200.
Any tennis coach,
team captain, Local League Coordinator or other
tennis enthusiast will be rewarded with a cash prize
when adding six new players to a new or existing
team. The Southern League Growth Initiative is an
innovative program designed to promote play in the
USTA League Adult and Senior programs. New players
can be at the 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, and 5.0
levels.
Here is the online claim
form. This is only for leagues that begin in the
2012 calendar year.
The League Growth
Initiative is a program in the USTA Southern Section
designed to bring players into USTA League. Anyone
who brings six new players to a USTA Adult or Senior
team is eligible for a $200 incentive.
Why?
New players are
crucial to USTA League growth.
What programs are included?
USTA Adult and
Senior programs. The first 350 new teams in the USTA
Southern Section are eligible.
What constitutes a "new player?"
A new player will be
identified as one that is participating in USTA
League Tennis for the first time.
Who is qualified to start a team?
Anyone that starts a
team would qualify for the payout. This could
include a pro, a LLC, a facility manager, a captain,
or just a tennis enthusiast.
Can a player be counted in two leagues?
No, a player is only
eligible to be counted one time. If they are
resubmitted on another form they will not count
towards the six players to constitute a team.
When can I start recruiting new teams?
The first 2012
registrations begin January 1, 2012 and submissions
will be accepted at that point for the 2012 league
year or until the first 350 teams are claimed. Early
Start Leagues will run on a 2012 calendar year
cycle.
How do I submit a claim?
Fill out this
form and submit to your state office for
verification via fax, mail or email. After
TennisLink records are referenced your state office
will mail out incentives. Please note checks are
mailed once per month.
Go to
www.ustageorgia.com go to the bottom of the page
and CLICK on the wanted poster
for
more information on recruiting your new team and to fill

NEW
TIEBREAK PROCEDURE - ALL LEAGUES |
|
All tie breaks (set and/or match
tiebreaks) in local league matches will follow the Coman
tiebreak format.
You will sides after the first point
is played then after every 4 points (point totals of 1,
5, 9, 13, etc.). Remember, you always change when
the tiebreak score total is odd each time you change.
Please inform all your players.
Even though you play out the full
third set for the adult and senior leagues, you will use
the Coman tiebreak procedure at the end of any set which
reaches 6-all.
In mixed league, you play a third set
match tiebreak in lieu of the third set. The
tiebreak is played following the Coman format.
