Shoot - Out Rules

​

What is a “Shoot-Out”?

​

A Singles “Shoot-Out”  You will play against other singles players in the league. Your ranking moves up and down depending on your wins and losses.

​

Rating/ Ranking

Singles players and Doubles teams will have ratings based on their current USTA rating. Doubles teams will have a combined rating.  If you do not have a current USTA rating, a local tennis pro can assess your abilities and provide a rating.

 

Rankings will be determined by the FATP committee and match-ups will be determined based on current rankings. Rankings will be updated after each match.

​

Matches

Matches will begin January 14 and will run through March 25. Every second Monday, players will be notified of their rankings and opponents for the next round by the “Shoot-Out” coordinator. The matches must be completed within two weeks. 

​

All matches will be based on the best of 2 sets. In the event of a tie, a 3rd set 10 point tie break will be used.

​

Rankings will be updated after each match. The winning team will earn the higher ranking of the two teams.

​

• For example, if the team ranked #1 plays the team ranked #4:

  • If team #1 wins then they remain #1 and the loser remains #4

  • If team #4 wins, they take the ranking of #1 and the loser becomes ranked #4.
