So welcome ladies! I was looking around I did notice the Senior Women's League completed on 2/17.
Headed to Sectionals:
3.0-Eldorado
3.5-Brookhaven-Ground (Starring Jane Gilpin)
4.0-Northwood
4.5-LB Houston
The men are almost complete in their regular season.
3.5
Three of the four playoff spots are taken at 3.5 by Oakridge, Bender and Huffines. This weekend HP/Northcut and GH/Kayser play Huffines and Gleneagles respectively and the most impressive winner will advance since they are in a virtual tie only separated by 16 games lost with all other categories being equal. Their head to head record goes to Kayser who beat Northcut's team twice.
4.0
T Bar M finishes on top. I am not sure if there is playoff since there was only flight. I don't see schedules posted as of yet but I am guessing the top few teams would playoff against one another possibly Springpark and Bartlett's team.
4.5
There are still two matches remaining at this level, T Bar and Oak Creek are tied at the top with Harilee's Brookhaven squad needing to win out against Oak Creek and Hackberry to stay up in the top three.

Senior League Almost complete
Looks like there are some close finishes at all three levels and with only a few playoff spots to be had these last couple of matches will decide everything.
3.5
Flight A looks to be sewn up by Bender’s team but the Oakridge group is not far behind with just two losses. Lou Forte’s team is in 3rd place and looks to mix things up as they finish with Bender’s team and then last place Eldorado. If they can come up with a win over Bender’s group it will put some big pressure on the Oakridge boys to hold onto their 2nd place spot.
Flight B
Huffines has clinched their playoff spot and then there are three teams deadlocked for the 2nd spot, Kayser, Northcut and Rosemore. They all seem about even but it would be hard to pick against Kayser’s team and their recent winning ways but they do have a remaining match v. Huffines whereas Northcut does not so I might have to lean towards them in grabbing that 2nd spot.
4.0
I am not sure how many teams advance to a playoff or whether the winner of the league is the champ but nothing looks decided as close as all these records are.
TBAR only has one loss but plays Eldorado who has played just about everyone tough. Springpark, Canyon Creek and Brookhaven/Bartlett are lurking close behind to decide the rest of the top spots.
4.5
If 4.0 was close I don’t know how you can describe the 4.5 league with three teams tied at the top at 5-2 and LB Houston sitting at 3-3 only one loss behind. If the format is the same as years past these top three teams will fight it out in a single elimination tourney which should be closely contested.

SUBS for Ultimate Tennis/League Tennis.com
Hello all,
This is a blatant call for help for me personally and for a few others.
As you know Leaguetennis.com and Ultimate Tennis.com have arrived here in Dallas and waived their fees so numerous people signed up including myself and now they leagues have started and it is becoming impossible to play all these matches.
The leagues don't have sub lists built up yet because this is their initial season so I am attempting to create my own sub list. These are flex leagues so whatever day and time work best for you and that can be mutually agreed upon with your opponent. Most matches are in the Allen/Plano/Frisco area.
So if you are interested please post your email or send it to me at bazan.dean@gmail.com.
There are some good opponents in these leagues so I hate to just default matches so feel free to contact me with any questions or to get contact info.
Thanks
Cary

NETX Rules Men's Tri Level
Well NETX had a great weekend taking both the Upper and Lower Tri Level championships. Unfortunately I didn't get to see much of the upper level matches since we were on the court contstantly but from looking at the results they were pretty strong but did lose a match to College Station who was hurt big time by not bringing 3.5 players. College Station was missing 3.0s in our tourney as well. Eugene Davis the Dallas Tri Level star did not make the trip for Madison's team which obviously hurt them as they pretty much had to sacrifice each 4.5 match.
The NETX in the lower tourney was very strong Will Rohrer was probably the class of the weekend but Erik Fleming was also very good along with Eric Schroeder of College Station. At 3.5 Charles Lusk and Marc Ivy were very tough. I didn't get to see too much of the 3.os but the SETX team was very solid at that level. Overall there was truly no weak team which explains why I am so exhausted today. I think it probably helped NETX because at each level they were very efficient in their victories whereas the other four teams had some long hard matches that might have drained them by Sunday.

San Antonio MZ Tourney
So it will be a busy weekend with a Major Tourney in San Antonio and the Tri Level Championships in Houston and some good Senior league matches going on and don't forget the Oscars on Sunday night, will No Country For Old Men beat out Juno...(wait a minute that is a whole other blog)
SA Tourney thoughts:
It does seem the draw is a little thinned out due to Tri Level and underrepresented for Dallas folks.
3.5 singles
Phil Girder may get far with this good seed. Phil I just noticed you are from Aubrey, we should hit up there I didn’t know anyone lived up near the cows with me. Other favs would be Abilene winner Molina and Clyde Parker who would meet in the quarterfinals, I think the winner of that should do well. Lookabaugh as the #1 seed doesn’t seem to have many roadblocks in his draw.
4.0 singles
This draw is stacked, amazing what a better location than Abilene will do. Foad, Jorge, Mark Carter, Brock, Dennis, Newman, Kraemer, Dutchover, Canann, Marcus, Ellis, Voss, Abilene winner Nguyen, Trevino and Zielinski. I don’t see anyone burning through this draw with that much talent and I am leaving out a few wildcards. Don’t know much about 2 seed Murray but I would think he would figure in results as well. I guess I would have to pick Nguyen to go far with this many tough matches although if he runs into a big hitter like Zielinski or if Trevino trips him up in the quarters that could end his run.
4.5 singles
Oh the trash talking draw, Trautman has to be favored every time out for now but I like Kallus, Warren, Sevin, Schmucker to do well and best of luck to Noaman one of my former doubles partner, he has an 8 seed and if he gets into a rhythm he could cause problems for anyone.
