2008 CVTA Adult League Policy

All players must be current members of the CVTA.

It is the player’s responsibility to know his or her published NTRP rating. If they think their rating is published inaccurately, it is their responsibility to appeal it with the USTA by the published deadline.

Players are required to play at the level of their published rating. In extenuating circumstances the Adult League Coordinator may authorize a captain to let a player "play up". Playing up can only be done with the League Coordinator’s permission.

1. The League Coordinator's permission is required before a player can register for a team higher than his or her published NTRP rating.
2. Players registered for teams higher than their published level without the League Coordinator's permission may be required to withdraw from the higher-level team, thus potentially losing the opportunity to play for that league. Any league fees already paid may be forfeited.
3. Captains are required to attempt to field a team of players "at level" before requesting players to play up.
4. Captains have the discretion to limit the participation of players who are playing up to field the most competitive line up.

Players are responsible for payment of all league and membership fees prior to playing their first match.

Players must conduct themselves in accordance with "the Code" at all times when representing the CVTA in an adult league match.

Each team determines whether all players play an equal amount or not. This is a team agreement rather than a CVTA policy and is determined on a team-by-team basis. It is the responsibility of prospective team members to understand the team’s philosophy prior to committing to that team.

Membership in the CVTA does not guarantee participation on a league team. Availability is determined by many factors.
