Match
Day Reminders:
Home captains should contact the visiting captain
by email at least 2 days before the match. Be sure to let the visiting captain know whether you
have 5, 4, or 3 courts at 9. Captains should have plenty of notice about courts so that they can
plan their lineup accordingly.
Contact information for captains
on each level can be found by clicking on the "Captain's Report" tab on your team page.
Have your lineup filled in and ready to exchange upon arrival at the match site.
Lineup exchange is at 9, with warmup from 9:05 until 9:15. If you need longer
than a 10-minute warmup, come earlier or warm up at another site.
If
a player has not yet arrived at the match site by 9:15, it should be a default. Remember that #2 singles should
be defaulted before #1 singles, and #3 doubles shoudl be defaulted before #2. So if a team's #1
singles player has not yet arrived at 9:15, their #2 player will need to move up to play the #1 position, and the #2 position
will be a default. Or if a #1 doubles player is absent, the #2 and #3 teams will have to move up to play the #1 and
#2 positions. The only exception is if a match has already begun. If the #2 position has already started
their match, then the default could take place at the #1 position.
When
the match is finished, captains should compare their scorecards to be sure they agree. All names and scores should match,
and if not, check with the match participants to be sure that both cards are accurate. Then both captains sign
each other's scorecard to show your agreement.
