Feel free to ask me if you have any questions.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Team scoring is easy enough. This year we will have 9 matches per evening of team play (<span style='color:red'>NO DOUBLES THIS YEAR</span>). If your team wins more matches that night, your team scores 2 points. At the end of the year, whoever wins the most points wins the league. A tiebreaker is based on % of team matches. Anyone with questions about team and individual scoring please let me know. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Ladder play is peer based, and everyone will always try to move UP the ladder. Usually that is accomplished by making top 2 on your table. Bottom 2 players on each table will move DOWN the ladder. Sometimes a player may not move UP because a player with a bye that week cannot be dislodged from their ranking. You will notice that our first ladder night is October 12<sup>th</sup>, and the players with a bye that evening are Ahmet, Kock-Yee, Sri and GianCarlo.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Be aware that <b><u><span style='color:red'>YOU</span></u></b><span style='color:red'> </span>are responsible for arranging your own substitutes!
