Just have an A divison and a B division. 2 flights in each division.<br /><br />It can be by either record, or by volunatry sign up? First come 1st serve. <br /><br />2 divisions in the A flight and 2 divisions in the B flight. Have a great match EVERY WEEK. All Players get better and makes the competition more fun.<br /><br />It means that some teams won't make the play-offs that should, but that is the way it works sometimes. 5-0 wins and losses help no one and is no fun for anyone. <br /><br />I saw that HP/BS lost this week, but it appears that they did the same thing that Brookhaven 3.5 did. Make sure that one less team makes it into the Qualifier, so there is less competition for them.B-Mohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14691628828309239147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6372029287243637381.post-64090924180304093222009-05-08T20:22:00.000-05:002009-05-08T20:22:00.000-05:00Eddie,

I will say Eddie has stayed in shape, he gets to everything. I know Eddie plays good offense but he is probably the hardest player to hit behind for me because he has such great footwork. The first set I played awful and Eddie played well so thus the 6-1 result. In the 2nd set I extended the points but Eddie has more stamina than me and in the end was able to come up with better shots in the tiebreak, I think it was 7-4 or 7-3 in the breaker. Then we had some doubles action and I see why Eddie doesn't play doubles.<br /><br />he plays doubles like most singles players (TQ I am talking to you) "Hey partner you cover that net, I got everything else and if the I feel a huge urge and have no other choice I will come to the net, but somehow that was effective enough to beat Alex and I in a 3rd set.

Otherwise, he will remain a 4.0.

The four second place and two third place finishers with the best records (determined by TennisLink standings) will form two three-team pools, with each pool playing a round robin. The two pool winners will play to determine the team advancing to the City Championships. If the Fall qualifier is one of these six teams, then the Qualifying Tournament will become a 5-team round robin. The City Championships will consist of six (6) teams. The four first place winners, the Fall qualifier and the winner of the Qualifying Tournament will form two three-team pools, with each pool playing a round robin. The two pool winners will play to determine the team advancing to Sectionals. If the Fall qualifier places first in its spring flight, then the winner from the Qualifying Tournament will join the four spring winners in a 5-team round robin to determine the team advancing to Sectionals.<br />To make the playoffs in any of the four 4.0 flights your team needs to finish in first, second or be one of the two third place teams with the best record. The four first place teams advance directly to the City Championships. The four second place teams and the two third place teams with the best record will play in the QT. If Bob's team does not finish in first place his team still advances directly to the City Championships; however, if they finish in second place the number of teams in the QT goes from 6 to 5."Rossouwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01335820676048614940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6372029287243637381.post-32841228413066976822009-05-04T12:31:00.000-05:002009-05-04T12:31:00.000-05:00if that is true Lifetimer, that is what sucks abou...if that is true Lifetimer, that is what sucks about a tough division like B.

That makes if tough on Flight B. 3rd place from Flight D is a shoe in because of lack of strength from bottom half. I would think the final team in would be 3rd place in Flight C for same reason.
