The main goal of the Singles League is to offer you the opportunity to play fun and challenging matches against players whose abilities are similar to yours - all within a friendly and recreational setting.

Here’s how the 2023 league works:

• The start date is May 28th.

• The league is open to adult members from the Club de Tennis Pincourt.

• Wheelchair Tennis Rules

Wheelchair tennis is one of the forms of tennis adapted for people with certain physical disabilities. Court size, net height, racquets, and balls are the same as non-adapted tennis. There are, however, two differences:

• 1.  athletes use specially designed wheelchairs

  2.  the ball can bounce up to two times, the second bounce can be out of bounds.

• The season is divided into 2-week periods ("blocks"). Each period begins on a Monday morning and ends Sunday at 8:00 pm. 

• During each period, the participant must play a match against two different players from his/her group (i.e. 2 matches every 2 weeks). 

• During each period, the participant must play a match against 1 player ranked higher an another match against a player ranked lower (maximum 3 ranks difference). 

• Matches are played using a Pro-8 formula, within a one-hour time frame. Please familiarize yourself with the rules of play and scoring details by going to the “règlements de la partie” page or by clicking here. If there is a disagreement about a rule during play, remember to be a good sport – we play for fun!

• Participants are responsible for contacting other players and scheduling their own match times. Player coordinates can be accessed on the "Coordonnées" page.

*** IMPORTANT ***

If you are not available to play during any 2-week period (injury, travel, etc), you must notify the organizer prior to the start of that period (by Sunday 8:30 pm the latest). Your name will be removed from that the ladder for that period This will avoid frustrations for other players and also ensure that you will not be penalized for your absence (i.e. you will remain at the same level at the start of the following period).

• Participants are responsible for reserving their courts. Click here or on the "Réservations" page.

• Participants are responsible for bringing their own tennis balls.

• Participants are responsible for submitting their match scores by going to the "Soumettre un pointages (simple)” page or by clicking here. It is suggested that the winner of each match submit the results.

• The deadline to submit your scores is 8:00 pm on the last Sunday of each period. Late results will not be included in the calculations for the next period's ladder. This will result in the loss of any points earned during that match.

• After completion of each period, the organizer will tabulate the results and form new groups for the following period.

•  Results will be emailed to participants and they will also be published on the “Tableau” page.

• Rule being applied as of 2023: If a player is a no show for 2 consecutive periods (that is they do not advise ahead of time (sickness, injury, holidays etc), they will be removed from the league.

Note: There are a limited number of spots in the singles league and registration ends June 24th or before if the limit has been reached. You can register to be on the waiting list in case there are injured players that need to be replaced.
