Tour
Features
The league runs
three months. The first two months consist of ladder style challenge
matches with the help of an automated match scheduler. The ladder is
broken up into eight person groups or "tiers". During the
final month every tier plays a masters cup style playoff. This includes
three round robin matches for each person during this final month and
possibly two more matches if you keep winning.

Tournament Sharp
Playing
competitive tennis every week will keep your game at it's peak level.
Improve your Game Fast
Playing different players each week with different
styles is an excellent way to raise your game.
Flexible
Scheduling and Locations
The
Tour is the easiest way to set up competitive tennis matches around.
You
decide how much tennis you want to play.
Once a week? Twice a week? Every other week? Away on vacation? No
problem. You are able to choose when you play. To maintain your ranking
you only need to play one match every two weeks. There are no hassles
if you don't play, you will simply drop in the rankings a few spots.
(Tour match record 39 matches one season!)
You
decide where you play.
People that challenge you try to play where it's convenient for you.
It's
easy to find someone to play.
The Tour Match Scheduler Program e-mails
other players who are looking to play matches at times and places
convenient to you. You are under no obligation to play. Simply respond
to the request if it fits your schedule.

How
the Rankings are Determined
Each season starts where the previous left off. New players are added
to the bottom in order of sign up. We don't use any complex formulas.
We keep it simple and let the large number of matches played over
the summer take care of things. As the season progresses it becomes
more and more difficult to move up the rankings from a big win. The
maximum amount you move up with each win is adjusted each month.
First
Month - Move up a maximum 30% of the rankings with each win
Second Month - Move up a maximum 20% of the rankings with each
win
Note:the maximum is always at least 5 spots.
One thing that doesn't change, each match loss to a lower ranked player
moves you down one spot. The final Tour tournament decides the Tour
Champion.
Testimonials
I
would also like to add that my experience on the tour so far has been
a very pleasant one (aside from being winless in the B division so
far). I never imagined I could find so many people that enjoy tennis
as much as I do. Thanks for all the hard work you put into the tour
to make it a success. I am excited to see it continue to grow in the
years to come.
Thanks, Chris
I really enjoyed
the tour this year.
I am losing pounds, getting a better game, positive
things all around . thanks much for keeping it going.
