Ladies Tri-Level League
FAQ's

What is a Tri-Level League?

Tri-Level League is a league tennis program that accommodates players at three different NTRP levels on each team-it's perfect for friends at different NTRP levels to play together on the same team!  This league does not affect your NTRP rating.

How is this different from USTA league?

In traditional league programs, all players compete at the rated level of the league. For example, in Women's 4.0 leagues, all courts could be filled by 4.0-rated players. In Tri-Level, 3 courts of doubles are played in each match- one court of 3.0 doubles, one court of 3.5 doubles, and one court of 4.0 doubles.

How long is the season?

The new Tri-Level League will play its matches beginning Wednesday, June 18 and ending by July 30.

Where are the matches played and at what times?

Depending on the number of teams that enter the league, court time has been arranged at Rome Tennis Center on Wednesdays at 9:00am.

What is the cost?

Tri-Level Leagues participants must be USTA members and must pay a player registration fee when registering for a team in TennisLink ($23.00)

How do I captain a team?

Just as with any other CVTA league, registration is via TennisLink.

When is the team registration deadline?

Team registration is open now and closes June 11.  All teams that have a minimum of 6 players-2 3.0-rated players, 2 3.5-rated players, and 2 4.0-rated players registered by Jun 11 will be included in the league schedule.

When is the player registration deadline?

July 9.

What is the minimum number of players on a team?

The league format is one court of 3.0 doubles, one court of 3.5 doubles, and one court of 4.0 doubles. Hence, you need a minimum of two 3.0-rated players, two 3.5-rated players, and two 4.0-rated players to compete. It is recommended that a team carry 4 players at each rating level (total of 12 players) to account for potential schedule conflicts. Roster maximum size is 16 players.

Is there a restriction on players "playing up" a level? What is it? Why?

The Tri-Level League is designed to provide quality competition on each court. The best way to assure an enjoyable, competitive match is to field a qualified doubles team for the level played on each court. Captains are strongly encouraged to recruit enough players at each NTRP level to assure they can meet this objective for every match. Occasionally, it may be necessary to pair a lower-rated player with higher-rated player, but this should be a rare occurrence.
