Fall
Schedules
The schedules for the fall season
are published on this site with the exception of the 3.0 league.
Match times have to be entered into the TennisLink schedules
before they can be published.
Fort
Worth 5.0 and 5.5 men heading to Nationals
Adult Sectionals week 1 found the River
Crest 5.0 men, captained by Rafael Omana, on top and now headed
to Indian Wells, CA for the 5.0 National Championships Oct 1-3.
They did this by defeating teams from Dallas, Austin, Houston
and NOHO and dropping only two of the twelve individual lines
along the way.
Rafael Omana also happens to be the captain of
the men's 5.5 team representing Fort Worth. They beat the Dallas
team in two straight matches winning five of the six lines played.
They will head to Las Vegas Oct 8-10 for the National Invitational
Championships.
Fort Worth 4.5 men captained by David Luningham had a strong
showing against the teams from NETX and Austin but fell short
in a 3-2 loss to Wild San Antonio.
The Old Gang, captained by Steve Miller, and Shelingham, captained
by Jonathan Martinez, did not fair as well in the 4.0 Sectional
Championships. The Old Gang lost 3-2 to San Antonio and Wild
Austin on day one and were mathematically eliminated from advancing.
Shelingham lost 3-2 to San Angelo and 4-1 to Houston on day one
but came back to beat Corpus Christi 3-2 on day two.
Fall
Team Numbers are now available to Captains
Captains can access the Fall League
team numbers in the Captains' Area. To alleviate confusion, please
note that the fall league is being played under the 2011 Championship
Year even though it is Fall 2010. This is why the mid-year ratings
are know as Early Start Ratings.
Early
Start (Mid-Year) Ratings Are Now Available
The 2010 Early Start (Mid-Year) ratings
have been published on the USTA-Texas website. These ratings
are only for the fall season (not Combo or Super Seniors). These
ratings are not used for tournament play (tournaments use the
2009 year-end ratings). Further, the list only shows players
who have a change in their rating (up or down). If you do not
appear on the list then your rating did not change.
Click here
for men's ratings.
To appeal your rating go to www.texas.usta.com and click on the Early Start Ratings header (this can also be
found under the Adult Leagues menu). Instructions will be found
on that page.
Super
Senior League
Schedules for the 2010 Super Senior league
are now available on this site and on TennisLink.
The list of Super
Senior (60+) eligible players has been posted in
the captains
area
of
this website.
There is a consideration to move this league from the heat of the
summer to the cooler spring. However, to do this we would make
this league be a SUNDAY league. Please forward opinions about this
move to the league coordinator.
Fort
Worth 8.0 Senior Mixed heading to Nationals
The 8.0 Senior Mixed Doubles team captained

Amarillo in the finals of the Sectional Championships by a score
of 2-1. To get to the finals they defeated teams from San Antonio
(3-0), Amarillo (2-1) and Midland (3-0) to advance to the semi-finals.
In the semi's they defeated Dallas (3-0) in a close match taking
two lines to a third set tie-break. The team members competing
at Sectionals were: Bill Stetzer, Skip Butler, Bob Barrie,
Darrell McCallum, Frank
Carpenter,
Susan Hull, Martha Benson, Cheryl Halpern, Gina Tallent
News
about John Mixon
3/28/2010
I received the following message from Marc Klamecki, captain
of the Flower Mound LJP 4.0 team:
"We had a serious situation
today in Flower Mound. John Mixon the captain of the TCU Men's
4.0 team suffered a heart attack during our league make-up match
today. John's team acted heroically in administering CPR and
were commended by the EMS personnel. Even though we were able
to get immediate help from Flower Mound EMS, the damage to John's
heart was massive... Apparently he had
suffered from a heart attack twice before".
UPDATE 3/31/2010
John passed away this morning before his family had to make any
decision about life support. They plan to have a private service
soon and a celebration of John's life with his friends at a later
date.
More
information will be placed here as it becomes available.
Fort
Worth 4.0 and Under Men take the Title at the
Tri-Level Sectionals
Cade Tims captained the Fort Worth men
through a five team round robin to win the Sectional Championship.
Team Tims defeated teams from Dallas (3-0), College Station (3-0)
and SETX (3-0) while losing to Amarillo (1-2) to enter a three
way tie for first at 3-1 with Amarillo and College Station. Fort
Worth won by having one additional individual win over Amarillo
(10-9) to win the event.
Effect
of Ratings on Fort Worth Men's League
According to the USTA,
30% of the players across the nation (90,000) were bumped up
in rating with the recent publication of the year-end ratings.
Unfortunately for the men in Fort Worth, the percentage is even
higher - 35% or 293 Fort Worth men were bumped in rating. Of
the 101 self-rated players in the men's league, 42 (39%) were
bumped up. View a level by level calculation of these ratings
here.
3rd
Set Tiebreak format will be used for ALL league
matches.
Coman
Rotation has been adopted as the tiebreak
procedure to be used at the National Tournaments since 2006.
The Texas Section and our local league has also adopted this
format to be used in Sectional and Local Championships and
local league play. Click
here for an explanation of the Coman Rotation. |
