By-Laws
were written in great detail for a League of 300 players. We are

your team captain. Your vote is very important.

Court Chatter
The Board has
created this section for frequently-asked questions. We hope
this information will help to clarify rules and explain how to
handle situations that occur on the court.
Have a question
about rules on the court? Send your questions to timdot@comcast.net
Be sure you include LCWTL in the subject line. Example:
LCWTL - Question on Player Touching the Net. Your email will
receive a response and the question and answer will be included
in Court Chatter.
LCWTL plays according to USTA rules. Should there be any
discrepancy between LCWTL rules and regulations and USTA rules,
LCWTL Rules and Regulations shall prevail.

1. add your rating (to 3 decimal points)
to your partners as of that date (that is why it is important to enter
matches with the correct match date)
2. add the ratings of your 2 opponents
3. if your rating is higher than your
opponents, then there is a formula based on how much higher your rating
is than your opponents that is calculated. The result of the calculation
is a number of games.
4. This is the number of games that you
must beat the opponents by in order for your rating to go up. (For
example it might be a range of 3-6 games)
5. So therefore, if you were to beat your opponents by
6 games, there would be no change in anyone's rating.
6. If you were to
beat your opponents by 7 games, then you and your partner's ratings
would go up.
7. If you only beat your opponents by 2 games (7-6, 7-6)
then your opponents ratings would go up and yours would go down.
8. The court that you play on (1-4) does
not enter into the calculation
If you would like to see a match history of your
matches, please check the front page of the web site and request one.
Player Match History Note:
The points column
1 means that your rating went down - did not beat the expected spread
2 means that your rating stayed the same
3 means that your rating went up - beat the expected spread
Subject: 2011 Procedure Change I understand that there has been an important change in the
procedure for 2011 for correcting out calls to good.
Can you confirm this?
Jennifer, Orlando, FL
KAUFMAN: Yes, see 2011 Friend At Court,
page 47, # 12. The Code: Players Guide for Matches When Officials Are
Not Present
Prior to 2011, if the correction was made immediately and the receiver
played the ball back in the court, then a let should be played.
However starting in 2011, the USTA Tennis Rules and
Regulations Committee has determined that any call corrected from out
to good is loss of point to the player or team that corrected the
call, even if the ball is put back into play. (Except on first or
second serve fault calls corrected that hit the net in which case the
server is entitled to a first serve)
The out call on a ball that was good creates a hindrance to play and
it is loss of point due to this hindrance.
We hope this does not encourage players from making erroneous calls
and then not correcting them since they will now lose the point. We
have always expected players to be honest. This will certainly end
the action of players calling good balls out, correcting the call and
hitting it back in play in order that they can then replay a point
that they were likely to lose. In addition it will encourage players
to give their opponents the benefit of the doubt on close balls and
continue playing the point.
