MENS 50 PLUS TENNIS LEAGUE OF LEE COUNTY

COMMISSIONERS MESSAGE

HANK MORGAN

OCTOBER 2008

The Men’s 50 Plus Tennis League of Lee County has expanded dramatically this summer. We now have a record of 75 teams divided into 11 flights. Simply stated, we will have about 600 of Lee County’s senior citizens playing competitive doubles tennis each week during our regular season.

This season, I will continue to serve as your Commissioner, Manager of the Blue Division and Co-Captain the Pelican Landing White C Team. Vice Commissioner Bob Dalton will continue to serve as Manager of the Red Division and Captain the Landings Red C Team. Vice Commissioner Jim Hebert will continue to serve as Manager of the White Division. As questions arise, please contact your Division Manager by email or telephone (See Contacts section this site).

At the Captains Luncheon last spring, we reviewed our match pointing system where all courts, one through four, count the same. Each court is assigned one point for a win and no points for a loss. This system works without “sand-bagging” due to the high level of integrity continually displayed by our Captains. We play in order of court strength. Our dress code asks each visiting team to abide the dress requirements of the host tennis club. We will continue to play 2 out of 3 full sets; there will be no super tie-breaker in lieu of a 3^rd set. We use the Coman tie-breaker and do not allow USTA 4.0 and above players to play in the White or Blue Divisions. These players should play in their clubs Red Division. Teams are exempt from this rule if their club does not have a Red Division Team.

Please note that each individual flight schedule appears on a single page and each match is separated from other matches by a double line. The shaded area team is the home team. This should result in 11 schedules that will be easier to read.

Each year when the League has surplus funding, we donate to a charitable organization associated with tennis. This fall, the League will make a donation to the Lee County Community Tennis Association (LCCTA). The LCCTA provides tennis programs to at-risk children and handicapped citizens at no cost.

I wish to thank Bob Dalton and Jim Hebert for their untiring support. Their efforts, as Division Managers, ensure the smooth and efficient operation of our League. This year, we called upon a number of our Captains to review the schedules. Their review and suggestions were greatly appreciated and for the most part incorporated into our website structure.

I wish you all good health and a competitive tennis season.

Hank Morgan

Commissioner
