(For example, a new team to the league will not be obliged to serve if they are next in rotation. They will go to the end of the rotation.)

That captain will facilitate communication and meetings with all other captains to resolve the issue.

2.5 Any change to the By-Laws must be approved by a captains’ majority vote.

3.0 TEAM RULES

3.1 Each club comprises five “established” doubles partnerships. These partnerships make up the established playing roster for the team. Changes to an established playing roster can be made by the captain for any reason throughout the season as long as the overall result is a team playing all five lines in order of strength. The Scorekeeper and President do not need to be informed of these changes.

3.2 Players must be members in good standing of a participating club. Teaching pros who are members should be used only if captain determines appropriate level of play.

3.3 Players must be at least 19 years old and not be a member of a scholastic tennis team.

3.4 A player’s USTA rating must not exceed 5.0. Players with a USTA rating of 5.0 are limited to playing in the number one position. Rostered players with a USTA rating of 4.5 are limited to playing in the number one, two or three positions.

A player’s USTA rating at the beginning of the league season will be valid until the end of that season regardless of a USTA end of year rating change. To be eligible to play in the league, a team must have a minimum of six players on their roster and substitute list with a rating at or above 4.0.

3.5 Team positions are filled from the ten names on the established playing roster, the list of substitutes, and/or “B” team members, or a position may be defaulted. NOTE: Captains should field teams in order of strength to foster the spirit of match play and good sportsmanship. USTA ratings may be used as a guideline, but are not definitive in determining the order of strength of lineups.

3.6 If a team is unable to fill one or more positions for a match, they are permitted to default those positions, regardless of the level. (i.e. A team may field positions 1, 3, 4, and 5, and default the number 2 position.)

Players with a USTA rating of 5.0 are limited to subbing in the number one position. Players with a USTA rating of 4.5 may only substitute in the number one, two and three positions, regardless of whether the rostered player being replaced has a 4.5 rating. All other players can substitute in the three, four and five positions. Substitutions, however, must be made in order of strength. USTA ratings may be used as a guideline, but are not definitive in determining the order of strength of substitutes.

4.3 If a player is removed from the established team roster, she may play as a substitute for that team. A player, who has played on an established team roster for one team during the season, may not play for another team during the same season.

5.5 The rules for MBLL are set forth in these rules and regulations reviewed by the Board and Captains annually.

6.7 Rain make-ups must be played as soon as possible for both teams. However, in order to get all rain date matches played, it is permissible to play a match on a day other than Monday. Furthermore, individual partnerships can play on different days in order to accommodate personal schedules. If individual partnership matches are agreed to, substitutes can play in the makeup match if that match was not started and rained out part way through. Matches rained out after they had begun must use same players that were in the original match. Make up matches must be completed by the end of the season, or a double default will be recorded for both teams.
