Welcome to the 2009-20010 Interclub Paddle Tennis Season

We welcome the women to the clevelandpaddle.com website! Womens interclub schedule and results can be found on the Schedules and Standings pages of the site. Women, send us news or funny stories from your matches so we can post it on the site.

As to the interclub league for this year, the format has been tweaked slightly to accomodate 27 teams.  The result is a 10 team Division 1, an 11 team Division 2, and an 6 team Division 3.

Division 1 includes one team from each club with Wembley and Shaker combining to form 2 separate Division 1 teams  These teams will play eachother once during the 9 weeks between October 13th and December 15th. and then once each again during Jan - March.  We will either do a one or two week playoff at the end of this 18 week regular season.

Divisions 2 has 11 teams, with one team having a Bye each week. Division 2 teams will play every other team before Christmas. In order for this to happen, we have to start the season a little early (Oct 8th). We will do the same for the second half of the season with a one-week playoff to follow.

Division 3 will have 6 teams.  Each team with play the other 5 teams twice before Christmas, and then again during the second half of the season. Playoff format will be determined towards the end of the year.

As noted above, the division standings will be posted on the web site.  In order to keep the standings up to date it is important that all scores be reported in a timely manner.  This year scores should be reported to Eric Miller at emiller@letternine.net.  It should be the responsibility of the home team captain to report the scores but we dont care who we get them from as long as we get them.  As with the last couple of years, the division standings are determined by ranking points -- teams get 2 points for winning a match (4-0 or 3-1), 1 point for tying a match, and 0 points for losing.

See you on the paddle court!
