1. Recommend to have Individual Districts begin no earlier than Thursday and conclude no later than Saturday
with district school administrative approval and the MSHSAA approval if playing
prior to Saturday.
Amended: Recommend Individual Districts shall be played on Saturday, unless all of the teams participating in the district have administrative approval to play no earlier than Thursday, with final
approval from MSHSAA.
**2. Recommend to allow any doubles line-up during regular season as long as they are placed in doubles rank order of ability. If the line-up is not used 3 times in a 6-3 format during the regular season, the exceptions in 1 and 2 must then be met during the post season play.
1. Doubles
rank orders will be determined by the sum total of the singles rank order
value. Example: if the #1 and #2 singles play together their
sum total is 3 points. If the #3 and #4
singles play together their sum total is 7 points. Therefore, #1 and #2 must play at the #1
doubles spot; #3 and #4 must play at the #2 doubles; etc.
2. When the sum total of the teams are the same
(example: #3 and #4 play together and #2
and #5 play together–both teams point value is 7), the team with the highest
ranked player must play at the higher doubles position. Therefore, #2 and #5 would play at the #1
doubles spot; #3 and #4 would play at the #2 doubles spot; etc.
Amended: Recommend to table after completion of 2011
boys season and then conduct a survey of all member schools with girls/boys tennis.
*** 3. Recommend that after 5 match wins the two coaches can agree to stop play.
Amended: Recommended for regular season that after 5 match wins the two coaches must agree to stop play for the remainder of the match. If one coach wishes to continue the match, both teams must complete the matches.
4. Recommend to change wording in Tennis Manual page 11, F1e to the same as wording on page 12, H1e.
Each dual will be played in a 6
(singles) and 3 (doubles) format and scoring shall be 2 out of 3 sets with
“No-Ad” scoring. The singles matches
will be played first followed by the doubles.
