Additionally, while we hope it is not necessary, the board reserves the right to suspend or discontinue the right of any person to participate in the adult mixed doubles league. Any individual who believes the conduct of another participant may warrant such action should report their concerns to the board or a board member in writing.

The Cedarbrook board recognizes that the Cedarbrook Adult Mixed Doubles League is comprised by adults who, under most circumstances, are fully capable of handling any disputes on the court. It also recognizes that while this is a recreational league, there is a level of competitiveness to be expected, particularly among more advanced participants. Nevertheless, the Board expects all participants to conduct themselves properly and to the furthest extent possible, in accordance with the ITF Rules of tennis and USTA Code (Players Guide to unofficiated matches) and the general statement of the Rules of Tennis Etiquette.

Scheduling Play for the League

1. The scheduler should first attempt to schedule all participants for at least one match per week, regardless of whether the participant is a member of the club or not.
2. Members who have stated a desire to play two or more times per week should get priority for one additional spot per week if available.
3. Thereafter any nonmember should be scheduled for a second match per week if requested.
4. If open spots still remain, available members will be given priority in filling those remaining spots.
