NETT Procedures for Rain Delayed Matches

 

In the event of Rain, ALL PLAYERS must be on site for play at least 1 hour beyond the time of scheduled match play unless BOTH team captains agree otherwise. Defaults may be issued (which will be binding even if the match is ultimately considered a rainout) if all players are not present before default time.  Failure to have ALL players in attendance at the scheduled time of the match is subject to default at the default time.

1. Home team captain’s responsibilities for 11:00 Match:
   1. Call the facility to determine the start time of the 9:00 match.  If the 9:00 match has been delayed up to one hour, the 11:00 home team captain MUST call the visiting team captain and inform her of the delay.  The 11:00 teams will then assume control of the courts no later than 12:00.

1. The reschedule of the date and time of these matches must be called in or emailed to the flight coordinator by BOTH team captains within 72 hours (3 days) of the scheduled match time.

1. Rescheduled matches must be played within a 2 week period of the originally scheduled match time.  Rescheduled matches that are rained out will be allowed a 1 week extension from the rescheduled date or the remainder of the 2 week period.

1. Once a match is officially rescheduled, it cannot be changed unless the above conditions exist or the NETT league coordinator has ruled to set the match time.

1. Incomplete matches will be continued by the same players at the exact place halted~ set, game, point.  Indicate such on the back of both score sheets to prevent controversy when resuming play.

1. In matches where rosters have been exchanged, but the match has not begun, a NEW roster may be exchanged for the make up match.  If a default has been issued, it is now voided. The exception to this is noncompliance to rule 1.  However, if a minimum of one court has served the first ball, the roster is locked in and cannot be changed.

1. Teams may play these make-up matches by positions rather than as a whole team.  Home team captains must be flexible in designating 3 or more alternate days and times, not to be consecutive days, for make up matches.  Nights and weekends will not be considered reasonable times, however both team captains may agree to play at these times.  Captains unable to agree on rescheduling are subject to playing at a time designated by the league coordinator.

1. If all courts play at the same time, line-ups must be made out and ready to exchange by the designated match time.  If positions play at different times, the line-ups may be filled out as the positions are played.

1. For incomplete matches scheduled for make up beyond 3 days, home team will supply NEW balls. 

1. Scores should be entered on the website AFTER ALL LINES have completed play.
