Q&A about the MCTA Winter Ladies Day League What is the format of the Ladies Day League?
Each Ladies Day League team match will consist of 3 timed (no match will last longer than 2 hours) doubles matchesÂ
How much will it cost to participate in the Ladies Day League?
Each team will be charged $96 per match. This equates to $16/per player/per match. This price covers court fees, tennis balls, and administrative costs. Payments for each team are made through the MCTA web site. Captains will pay for their team costs in advance of the season. The captain should then divide the costs amongst her players.        Â
What dates will the Ladies Day League run?
The Ladies Day League will run from early January through the end of March .Â
How many players are allowed on a team?
A team may have up to 18 players (6 players are needed for each match). All players must be registered in TennisLink in order to play for a team. MCTA recommends a minimum of 10 players. Each team will have a captain, sometimes two co-captains.Â
How times per week will each team play?
Generally, each team will play once a week. Â
Will there be a set schedule for team matches?
There will be a published schedule for the season. Teams will play on different days and possibly different locations each week. Matches will be scheduled Monday-Friday from 10:00am - 12:00 Noon or 12 Noon-2:00pm (depending on facility availability). Â
Where will the Ladies Day League Matches be played?
 The Ladies Day League will be played at Montgomery County private tennis clubs, country clubs, and the Tennis Center at College Park. If you represent a facility willing to host League matches, please advise Â
Does one need to be a USTA (United States Tennis Association) member to participate?
Yes. Every player and captain must be a member of the United States Tennis Association to play in the league. To join the USTA go to Join the USTA.  MCTA will provide a tutorial for all players explaining registration and use of Tennislink.
 Are there different levels of play in the Ladies Day League?
The MCTA Ladies Day League will use NTRP (National Tennis Rating Program) ratings for the leagues. Many players will not have a rating. Their self rating procedures will be included in the Tennislink tutorial. Â
If one has played in the Country Club Interclub League before, some approximate guidelines are:
Green C and Yellow CÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 2.5 to 3.0 NTRP rating
High Yellow and Blue CÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 3.0 NTRP rating
Red CÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 3.0 to 3.5 NTRP rating
Blue BÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 3.5 NTRP rating

Red AÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 4.5 NTRP ratingÂ
Please remember that these are only guidelines. A self rated player will generate a computer rating after playing a season of Ladies Day League.Â
Do you have to sign up with a team with the Ladies Day League, or can you sign up individually?
To enroll in the Ladies Day League, each team captain will receive a team code from the Leagues Coordinator. Players will use that Team Code to register for a team using Tennislink. If you do not have a team but would like to play, contact Laura Sommers to get on the available players list. Captains will then contact you if they need to fill out their team roster.   If you are interested in becoming a captain, contact Laura Sommers or Nancy Britt for more information.
