Greetings Meta Tennis Friends:
Hope everyone enjoyed our 2016 META leagues. Hope all had a great holiday and a nice break from tennis. Here’s to 2017 being a better year yet for league play in our area. Some major changes for 2017 Southern and Tennessee rules relevant to us:
- USTA LEAGUE (NATIONAL): 2.05E(2) Ratings for players 65 & over who are moved up will be published; automatic appeal will be granted upon request (through TennisLink auto- appeal function).
- USTA LEAGUE (TENNESSEE): All teams must have 50% in-state residence
Basically if you are 65 & over and got bumped up be sure to appeal and you will be approved for lowering your rating.
META local rules as well as all the relevant dates and sign-up deadlines for each league being offered have been posted to the META website. All adult leagues are now forming and are open for registration.
I am excited and looking forward to our 2017 league season! If you have any questions or suggestions please let me know and I will bring them to our Board to see what we can do to make META league play even better.
Let the games begin! …Soon!
