&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#1A1A1A" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_0, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_0, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Team Tennis Registration is now open!&amp;nbsp; Please register via&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.matchiv.com/"&gt;www.matchiv.com&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;or from the Matchiv tab on the CTA Website!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href="https://matchiv.com/leagues/6ab19085e7eb9f3446881297?view=player"&gt;&lt;font color="#1A1A1A" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_0, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_0, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Register Here!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;This will also be our first CTA league run through&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Matchiv&lt;/strong&gt;, our new league management platform!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;u&gt;WHEN WE’LL PLAY&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Team Tennis Schedule - A reminder, team tennis will play Thursday 6:30pm to 9:30pm and Every other Saturday from Noon to 2:30pm.&amp;nbsp; We do have the Saturdays we are not scheduled for as back ups in case there is rain.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#1A1A1A" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_0, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_0, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Schedule will be:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#1A1A1A" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_0, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_0, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Thurs 10/8&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#1A1A1A" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_0, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_0, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Sat 10/10&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#1A1A1A" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_0, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_0, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Thurs 10/15&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Thurs 10/22&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Saturday 10/24&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Thurs 10/29&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Thurs&amp;nbsp; 11/5 (First Day of playoff)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Sat 11/7 (Final Day of playoffs)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;u&gt;HOW TEAM TENNIS WORKS&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Unlike our traditional leagues, you’ll register individually and then be&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;drafted onto a team&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;We are planning for&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;8 teams&lt;/strong&gt;, with&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;5 players per team&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;— one player at each CTA level:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Open • A • B • C • D&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;One player on each team will also serve as the&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Team Captain&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Each team match consists of&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;five lines of play&lt;/strong&gt;, using a combination of singles and doubles, with at least 2 doubles or 2 singles, and the last match required to be doubles. Every active player must play at least one line and may play a maximum of two lines.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;There are&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;no level restrictions on doubles pairings&lt;/strong&gt;, so captains will have plenty of flexibility when putting together their lineups.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;u&gt;SCORING&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Team Tennis scoring is a little different from our regular leagues —&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;every game matters!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Each line is played&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;first to 5 games&lt;/strong&gt;. If the score reaches 4–4, a&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;first-to-5-point tiebreak&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;determines the line.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;But winning the most lines doesn’t necessarily win the team match.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Instead, we add up&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;every game won across all five lines&lt;/strong&gt;, and the team with the most total games wins the match.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;There’s also an overtime element. If the team that wins the&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;fifth and final line&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;is still behind in the overall game total, the match continues into overtime.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;If the teams reach a tie in total games, they’ll play a&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;first-to-7 super tiebreak&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;to determine the winner.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;So even if your team gets off to a rough start, the match may be far from over!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;u&gt;SUBSTITUTES&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Substitutes are allowed, but there is a competitive penalty for using one.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;The opposing team receives a&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;1-game bonus for each substitute used, plus an additional game for each line that substitute plays&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;For now, we will continue using the existing&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;CTA Subs List&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;to find substitutes.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Team Tennis results&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;will not affect your CAPERS/Matchiv singles or doubles rating.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;u&gt;THE TEAM TENNIS DRAFT&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;We need&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;8 captains&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;for the season!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;If you’re interested in being a captain, you’ll be able to indicate that when you register.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;When you register, you are registering for the&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;player pool&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;— you will&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;not select a team or playing level&lt;/strong&gt;. There are 8 positions for each level. Captains can pre-select a co-captain by emailing their co-captain selection to&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="mailto:president@capital-tennis.org"&gt;president@capital-tennis.org&lt;/a&gt;. If a captain selects a co-captain, they will not pick a player during the first round of the draft. After the draft, your team assignment and roster will appear in Matchiv.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#1A1A1A" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_0, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_0, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1"&gt;Level - When you sign up, you will be put into a level based on your current combined Singles and Doubles rating.&amp;nbsp; If you want to play a higher level please let me know I can manually move you.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Matchiv will also be used throughout the season for:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Live scoring&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Match information and results&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;League communications&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Email notifications — and push notifications once the Matchiv mobile apps are available&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Your current CTA ratings have already been transferred into Matchiv.

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;u&gt;⏰ REGISTRATION NOW OPEN&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;We need enough players to fill&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;all 8 teams&lt;/strong&gt;, so don’t wait too long to register.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Team Tennis is one of the most social and competitive formats we run, and we’re excited to bring it back this fall — while also kicking off the next chapter of CTA leagues with Matchiv.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;u&gt;WHEN WE’LL PLAY&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Team Tennis Schedule - A reminder, team tennis will play Thursday 6:30pm to 9:30pm and Every other Saturday from Noon to 2:30pm.&amp;nbsp; We do have the Saturdays we are not scheduled for as back ups in case there is rain.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#1A1A1A" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_0, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_0, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Schedule will be:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Thurs 10/22&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Saturday 10/24&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Thurs 10/29&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Thurs&amp;nbsp; 11/5 (First Day of playoff)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;u&gt;HOW TEAM TENNIS WORKS&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Unlike our traditional leagues, you’ll register individually and then be&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;drafted onto a team&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;We are planning for&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;8 teams&lt;/strong&gt;, with&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;5 players per team&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;— one player at each CTA level:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Open • A • B • C • D&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;One player on each team will also serve as the&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Team Captain&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Each team match consists of&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;five lines of play&lt;/strong&gt;, using a combination of singles and doubles, with at least 2 doubles or 2 singles, and the last match required to be doubles. Every active player must play at least one line and may play a maximum of two lines.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;There are&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;no level restrictions on doubles pairings&lt;/strong&gt;, so captains will have plenty of flexibility when putting together their lineups.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;u&gt;SCORING&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Team Tennis scoring is a little different from our regular leagues —&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;every game matters!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Each line is played&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;first to 5 games&lt;/strong&gt;. If the score reaches 4–4, a&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;first-to-5-point tiebreak&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;determines the line.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;But winning the most lines doesn’t necessarily win the team match.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Instead, we add up&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;every game won across all five lines&lt;/strong&gt;, and the team with the most total games wins the match.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;There’s also an overtime element. If the team that wins the&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;fifth and final line&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;is still behind in the overall game total, the match continues into overtime.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;If the teams reach a tie in total games, they’ll play a&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;first-to-7 super tiebreak&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;to determine the winner.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;So even if your team gets off to a rough start, the match may be far from over!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;u&gt;SUBSTITUTES&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Substitutes are allowed, but there is a competitive penalty for using one.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;The opposing team receives a&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;1-game bonus for each substitute used, plus an additional game for each line that substitute plays&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;For now, we will continue using the existing&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;CTA Subs List&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;to find substitutes.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Team Tennis results&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;will not affect your CAPERS/Matchiv singles or doubles rating.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;u&gt;THE TEAM TENNIS DRAFT&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;We need&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;8 captains&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;for the season!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;If you’re interested in being a captain, you’ll be able to indicate that when you register.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;The official&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Team Tennis Draft will be held Tuesday, October 6 at 6:30pm at Violet Bar &amp;amp; Lounge.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;u&gt;Don't be late!&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Saturday 10/24&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Thurs 10/29&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Thurs&amp;nbsp; 11/5 (First Day of playoff)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;u&gt;HOW TEAM TENNIS WORKS&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Unlike our traditional leagues, you’ll register individually and then be&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;drafted onto a team&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;We are planning for&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;8 teams&lt;/strong&gt;, with&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;5 players per team&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;— one player at each CTA level:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Open • A • B • C • D&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;One player on each team will also serve as the&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Team Captain&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Each team match consists of&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;five lines of play&lt;/strong&gt;, using a combination of singles and doubles, with at least 2 doubles or 2 singles, and the last match required to be doubles. Every active player must play at least one line and may play a maximum of two lines.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;There are&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;no level restrictions on doubles pairings&lt;/strong&gt;, so captains will have plenty of flexibility when putting together their lineups.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;u&gt;SCORING&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Team Tennis scoring is a little different from our regular leagues —&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;every game matters!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Each line is played&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;first to 5 games&lt;/strong&gt;. If the score reaches 4–4, a&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;first-to-5-point tiebreak&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;determines the line.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;But winning the most lines doesn’t necessarily win the team match.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Instead, we add up&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;every game won across all five lines&lt;/strong&gt;, and the team with the most total games wins the match.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;There’s also an overtime element. If the team that wins the&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;fifth and final line&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;is still behind in the overall game total, the match continues into overtime.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;If the teams reach a tie in total games, they’ll play a&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;first-to-7 super tiebreak&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;to determine the winner.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;So even if your team gets off to a rough start, the match may be far from over!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;u&gt;SUBSTITUTES&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Substitutes are allowed, but there is a competitive penalty for using one.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;The opposing team receives a&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;1-game bonus for each substitute used, plus an additional game for each line that substitute plays&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;For now, we will continue using the existing&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;CTA Subs List&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;to find substitutes.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Team Tennis results&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;will not affect your CAPERS/Matchiv singles or doubles rating.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;u&gt;THE TEAM TENNIS DRAFT&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;We need&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;8 captains&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;for the season!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;If you’re interested in being a captain, you’ll be able to indicate that when you register.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;The official&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Team Tennis Draft will be held Tuesday, October 6 at 6:30pm at Violet Bar &amp;amp; Lounge.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;u&gt;Don't be late!&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Captains will draft their teams that evening, with additional details about the draft coming soon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;u&gt;REGISTRATION IS THROUGH MATCHIV&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Registration Fee: $82.00&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;When you register, you are registering for the&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;player pool&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;— you will&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;not select a team or playing level&lt;/strong&gt;. There are 8 positions for each level. Captains can pre-select a co-captain by emailing their co-captain selection to&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="mailto:president@capital-tennis.org"&gt;president@capital-tennis.org&lt;/a&gt;. If a captain selects a co-captain, they will not pick a player during the first round of the draft. After the draft, your team assignment and roster will appear in Matchiv.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#1A1A1A" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_0, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_0, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1"&gt;Level - When you sign up, you will be put into a level based on your current combined Singles and Doubles rating.&amp;nbsp; If you want to play a higher level please let me know I can manually move you.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Matchiv will also be used throughout the season for:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Email notifications — and push notifications once the Matchiv mobile apps are available&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Your current CTA ratings have already been transferred into Matchiv. If you haven’t activated your account yet, please do so at&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://matchiv%5C.com"&gt;https://matchiv.com&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;using your email address associated with you CTA account.

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;u&gt;⏰ REGISTRATION NOW OPEN&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;We need enough players to fill&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;all 8 teams&lt;/strong&gt;, so don’t wait too long to register.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Team Tennis is one of the most social and competitive formats we run, and we’re excited to bring it back this fall — while also kicking off the next chapter of CTA leagues with Matchiv.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;We’ll see you on the courts!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;This will also be our first CTA league run through&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Matchiv&lt;/strong&gt;, our new league management platform!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;u&gt;WHEN WE’LL PLAY&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Team Tennis Schedule - A reminder, team tennis will play Thursday 6:30pm to 9:30pm and Every other Saturday from Noon to 2:30pm.&amp;nbsp; We do have the Saturdays we are not scheduled for as back ups in case there is rain.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#1A1A1A" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_0, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_0, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Schedule will be:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#1A1A1A" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_0, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_0, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Thurs 10/8&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#1A1A1A" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_0, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_0, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Sat 10/10&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#1A1A1A" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_0, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_0, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Thurs 10/15&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Thurs 10/22&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Saturday 10/24&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Thurs 10/29&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Thurs&amp;nbsp; 11/5 (First Day of playoff)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Sat 11/7 (Final Day of playoffs)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;u&gt;HOW TEAM TENNIS WORKS&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Unlike our traditional leagues, you’ll register individually and then be&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;drafted onto a team&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;We are planning for&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;8 teams&lt;/strong&gt;, with&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;5 players per team&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;— one player at each CTA level:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Open • A • B • C • D&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;One player on each team will also serve as the&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Team Captain&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Each team match consists of&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;five lines of play&lt;/strong&gt;, using a combination of singles and doubles, with at least 2 doubles or 2 singles, and the last match required to be doubles. Every active player must play at least one line and may play a maximum of two lines.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;There are&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;no level restrictions on doubles pairings&lt;/strong&gt;, so captains will have plenty of flexibility when putting together their lineups.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;u&gt;SCORING&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Team Tennis scoring is a little different from our regular leagues —&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;every game matters!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Each line is played&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;first to 5 games&lt;/strong&gt;. If the score reaches 4–4, a&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;first-to-5-point tiebreak&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;determines the line.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;But winning the most lines doesn’t necessarily win the team match.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Instead, we add up&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;every game won across all five lines&lt;/strong&gt;, and the team with the most total games wins the match.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;There’s also an overtime element. If the team that wins the&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;fifth and final line&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;is still behind in the overall game total, the match continues into overtime.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;If the teams reach a tie in total games, they’ll play a&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;first-to-7 super tiebreak&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;to determine the winner.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;So even if your team gets off to a rough start, the match may be far from over!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;u&gt;SUBSTITUTES&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Substitutes are allowed, but there is a competitive penalty for using one.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;The opposing team receives a&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;1-game bonus for each substitute used, plus an additional game for each line that substitute plays&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;For now, we will continue using the existing&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;CTA Subs List&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;to find substitutes.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Team Tennis results&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;will not affect your CAPERS/Matchiv singles or doubles rating.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;u&gt;THE TEAM TENNIS DRAFT&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;We need&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;8 captains&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;for the season!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;If you’re interested in being a captain, you’ll be able to indicate that when you register.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;The official&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Team Tennis Draft will be held Tuesday, October 6 at 6:30pm at Violet Bar &amp;amp; Lounge.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;u&gt;Don't be late!&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Captains will draft their teams that evening, with additional details about the draft coming soon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;u&gt;REGISTRATION IS THROUGH MATCHIV&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Registration opens&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;tomorrow at 6:00 PM through Matchiv&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Registration Fee: $82.00&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;When you register, you are registering for the&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;player pool&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;— you will&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;not select a team or playing level&lt;/strong&gt;. There are 8 positions for each level. Captains can pre-select a co-captain by emailing their co-captain selection to&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="mailto:president@capital-tennis.org"&gt;president@capital-tennis.org&lt;/a&gt;. If a captain selects a co-captain, they will not pick a player during the first round of the draft. After the draft, your team assignment and roster will appear in Matchiv.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#1A1A1A" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_0, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_0, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1"&gt;Level - When you sign up, you will be put into a level based on your current combined Singles and Doubles rating.&amp;nbsp; If you want to play a higher level please let me know I can manually move you.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Matchiv will also be used throughout the season for:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Live scoring&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Team lineups&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Match information and results&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;League communications&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Email notifications — and push notifications once the Matchiv mobile apps are available&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Your current CTA ratings have already been transferred into Matchiv. If you haven’t activated your account yet, please do so at&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://matchiv%5C.com"&gt;https://matchiv.com&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;using your email address associated with you CTA account. Please email&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="mailto:president@capital-tennis.org"&gt;president@capital-tennis.org&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;if you are having any sign up issues.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;u&gt;⏰ REGISTRATION NOW OPEN&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;We need enough players to fill&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;all 8 teams&lt;/strong&gt;, so don’t wait too long to register.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Team Tennis is one of the most social and competitive formats we run, and we’re excited to bring it back this fall — while also kicking off the next chapter of CTA leagues with Matchiv.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;We’ll see you on the courts!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Sat 11/7 (Final Day of playoffs)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;u&gt;HOW TEAM TENNIS WORKS&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Unlike our traditional leagues, you’ll register individually and then be&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;drafted onto a team&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;We are planning for&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;8 teams&lt;/strong&gt;, with&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;5 players per team&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;— one player at each CTA level:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Open • A • B • C • D&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;One player on each team will also serve as the&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Team Captain&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Each team match consists of&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;five lines of play&lt;/strong&gt;, using a combination of singles and doubles, with at least 2 doubles or 2 singles, and the last match required to be doubles. Every active player must play at least one line and may play a maximum of two lines.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;There are&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;no level restrictions on doubles pairings&lt;/strong&gt;, so captains will have plenty of flexibility when putting together their lineups.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;u&gt;SCORING&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Team Tennis scoring is a little different from our regular leagues —&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;every game matters!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Each line is played&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;first to 5 games&lt;/strong&gt;. If the score reaches 4–4, a&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;first-to-5-point tiebreak&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;determines the line.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;But winning the most lines doesn’t necessarily win the team match.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Instead, we add up&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;every game won across all five lines&lt;/strong&gt;, and the team with the most total games wins the match.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;There’s also an overtime element. If the team that wins the&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;fifth and final line&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;is still behind in the overall game total, the match continues into overtime.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;If the teams reach a tie in total games, they’ll play a&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;first-to-7 super tiebreak&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;to determine the winner.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;So even if your team gets off to a rough start, the match may be far from over!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;u&gt;SUBSTITUTES&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Substitutes are allowed, but there is a competitive penalty for using one.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;The opposing team receives a&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;1-game bonus for each substitute used, plus an additional game for each line that substitute plays&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;For now, we will continue using the existing&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;CTA Subs List&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;to find substitutes.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Team Tennis results&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;will not affect your CAPERS/Matchiv singles or doubles rating.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;u&gt;THE TEAM TENNIS DRAFT&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;We need&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;8 captains&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;for the season!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;If you’re interested in being a captain, you’ll be able to indicate that when you register.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;The official&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Team Tennis Draft will be held Tuesday, October 6 at 6:30pm at Violet Bar &amp;amp; Lounge.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;u&gt;Don't be late!&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Captains will draft their teams that evening, with additional details about the draft coming soon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;u&gt;REGISTRATION IS THROUGH MATCHIV&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Registration opens&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;tomorrow at 6:00 PM through Matchiv&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Registration Fee: $82.00&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;When you register, you are registering for the&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;player pool&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;— you will&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;not select a team or playing level&lt;/strong&gt;. There are 8 positions for each level. Captains can pre-select a co-captain by emailing their co-captain selection to&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="mailto:president@capital-tennis.org"&gt;president@capital-tennis.org&lt;/a&gt;. If a captain selects a co-captain, they will not pick a player during the first round of the draft. After the draft, your team assignment and roster will appear in Matchiv.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#1A1A1A" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_0, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_0, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1"&gt;Level - When you sign up, you will be put into a level based on your current combined Singles and Doubles rating.&amp;nbsp; If you want to play a higher level please let me know I can manually move you.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Matchiv will also be used throughout the season for:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Email notifications — and push notifications once the Matchiv mobile apps are available&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Your current CTA ratings have already been transferred into Matchiv. If you haven’t activated your account yet, please do so at&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://matchiv%5C.com"&gt;https://matchiv.com&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;using your email address associated with you CTA account. Please email&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="mailto:president@capital-tennis.org"&gt;president@capital-tennis.org&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;if you are having any sign up issues.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;u&gt;⏰ REGISTRATION NOW OPEN&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;We need enough players to fill&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;all 8 teams&lt;/strong&gt;, so don’t wait too long to register.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Team Tennis is one of the most social and competitive formats we run, and we’re excited to bring it back this fall — while also kicking off the next chapter of CTA leagues with Matchiv.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;We’ll see you on the courts!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;This will also be our first CTA league run through&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Matchiv&lt;/strong&gt;, our new league management platform!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;u&gt;WHEN WE’LL PLAY&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Team Tennis Schedule - A reminder, team tennis will play Thursday 6:30pm to 9:30pm and Every other Saturday from Noon to 2:30pm.&amp;nbsp; We do have the Saturdays we are not scheduled for as back ups in case there is rain.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#1A1A1A" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_0, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_0, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Schedule will be:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#1A1A1A" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_0, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_0, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Thurs 10/8&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#1A1A1A" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_0, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_0, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Thurs 10/15&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Thurs 10/22&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Saturday 10/24&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Thurs 10/29&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Thurs&amp;nbsp; 11/5 (First Day of playoff)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Sat 11/7 (Final Day of playoffs)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;u&gt;HOW TEAM TENNIS WORKS&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Unlike our traditional leagues, you’ll register individually and then be&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;drafted onto a team&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;We are planning for&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;8 teams&lt;/strong&gt;, with&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;5 players per team&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;— one player at each CTA level:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Open • A • B • C • D&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;One player on each team will also serve as the&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Team Captain&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Each team match consists of&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;five lines of play&lt;/strong&gt;, using a combination of singles and doubles, with at least 2 doubles or 2 singles, and the last match required to be doubles. Every active player must play at least one line and may play a maximum of two lines.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;There are&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;no level restrictions on doubles pairings&lt;/strong&gt;, so captains will have plenty of flexibility when putting together their lineups.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;u&gt;SCORING&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Team Tennis scoring is a little different from our regular leagues —&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;every game matters!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Each line is played&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;first to 5 games&lt;/strong&gt;. If the score reaches 4–4, a&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;first-to-5-point tiebreak&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;determines the line.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;But winning the most lines doesn’t necessarily win the team match.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Instead, we add up&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;every game won across all five lines&lt;/strong&gt;, and the team with the most total games wins the match.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;There’s also an overtime element. If the team that wins the&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;fifth and final line&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;is still behind in the overall game total, the match continues into overtime.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;If the teams reach a tie in total games, they’ll play a&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;first-to-7 super tiebreak&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;to determine the winner.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;So even if your team gets off to a rough start, the match may be far from over!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;u&gt;SUBSTITUTES&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Substitutes are allowed, but there is a competitive penalty for using one.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;The opposing team receives a&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;1-game bonus for each substitute used, plus an additional game for each line that substitute plays&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;For now, we will continue using the existing&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;CTA Subs List&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;to find substitutes.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Team Tennis results&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;will not affect your CAPERS/Matchiv singles or doubles rating.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;u&gt;THE TEAM TENNIS DRAFT&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;We need&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;8 captains&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;for the season!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;If you’re interested in being a captain, you’ll be able to indicate that when you register.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;The official&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Team Tennis Draft will be held Tuesday, October 6 at 6:30pm at Violet Bar &amp;amp; Lounge.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;u&gt;Don't be late!&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Captains will draft their teams that evening, with additional details about the draft coming soon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;u&gt;REGISTRATION IS THROUGH MATCHIV&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Registration opens&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;tomorrow at 6:00 PM through Matchiv&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Registration Fee: $82.00&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;When you register, you are registering for the&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;player pool&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;— you will&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;not select a team or playing level&lt;/strong&gt;. There are 8 positions for each level. Captains can pre-select a co-captain by emailing their co-captain selection to&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="mailto:president@capital-tennis.org"&gt;president@capital-tennis.org&lt;/a&gt;. If a captain selects a co-captain, they will not pick a player during the first round of the draft. After the draft, your team assignment and roster will appear in Matchiv.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#1A1A1A" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_0, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_0, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1"&gt;Level - When you sign up, you will be put into a level based on your current combined Singles and Doubles rating.&amp;nbsp; If you want to play a higher level please let me know I can manually move you.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Matchiv will also be used throughout the season for:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;League communications&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Email notifications — and push notifications once the Matchiv mobile apps are available&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Your current CTA ratings have already been transferred into Matchiv. If you haven’t activated your account yet, please do so at&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://matchiv%5C.com"&gt;https://matchiv.com&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;using your email address associated with you CTA account. Please email&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="mailto:president@capital-tennis.org"&gt;president@capital-tennis.org&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;if you are having any sign up issues.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;u&gt;⏰ REGISTRATION NOW OPEN&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;We need enough players to fill&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;all 8 teams&lt;/strong&gt;, so don’t wait too long to register.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Team Tennis is one of the most social and competitive formats we run, and we’re excited to bring it back this fall — while also kicking off the next chapter of CTA leagues with Matchiv.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;We’ll see you on the courts!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;u&gt;WHEN WE’LL PLAY&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Team Tennis Schedule - A reminder, team tennis will play Thursday 6:30pm to 9:30pm and Every other Saturday from Noon to 2:30pm.&amp;nbsp; We do have the Saturdays we are not scheduled for as back ups in case there is rain.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#1A1A1A" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_0, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_0, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Schedule will be:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#1A1A1A" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_0, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_0, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Thurs 10/8&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#1A1A1A" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_0, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_0, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Thurs 10/15&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Thurs 10/22&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Saturday 10/24&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Thurs 10/29&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Thurs&amp;nbsp; 11/5 (First Day of playoff)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Sat 11/7 (Final Day of playoffs)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;u&gt;HOW TEAM TENNIS WORKS&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Unlike our traditional leagues, you’ll register individually and then be&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;drafted onto a team&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;We are planning for&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;8 teams&lt;/strong&gt;, with&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;5 players per team&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;— one player at each CTA level:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Open • A • B • C • D&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;One player on each team will also serve as the&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Team Captain&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Each team match consists of&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;five lines of play&lt;/strong&gt;, using a combination of singles and doubles, with at least 2 doubles or 2 singles, and the last match required to be doubles. Every active player must play at least one line and may play a maximum of two lines.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;There are&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;no level restrictions on doubles pairings&lt;/strong&gt;, so captains will have plenty of flexibility when putting together their lineups.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;u&gt;SCORING&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Team Tennis scoring is a little different from our regular leagues —&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;every game matters!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Each line is played&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;first to 5 games&lt;/strong&gt;. If the score reaches 4–4, a&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;first-to-5-point tiebreak&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;determines the line.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;But winning the most lines doesn’t necessarily win the team match.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Instead, we add up&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;every game won across all five lines&lt;/strong&gt;, and the team with the most total games wins the match.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;There’s also an overtime element. If the team that wins the&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;fifth and final line&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;is still behind in the overall game total, the match continues into overtime.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;If the teams reach a tie in total games, they’ll play a&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;first-to-7 super tiebreak&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;to determine the winner.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;So even if your team gets off to a rough start, the match may be far from over!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;u&gt;SUBSTITUTES&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Substitutes are allowed, but there is a competitive penalty for using one.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;The opposing team receives a&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;1-game bonus for each substitute used, plus an additional game for each line that substitute plays&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;For now, we will continue using the existing&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;CTA Subs List&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;to find substitutes.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Team Tennis results&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;will not affect your CAPERS/Matchiv singles or doubles rating.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;u&gt;THE TEAM TENNIS DRAFT&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;We need&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;8 captains&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;for the season!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;If you’re interested in being a captain, you’ll be able to indicate that when you register.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;The official&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Team Tennis Draft will be held Tuesday, October 6 at 6:30pm at Violet Bar &amp;amp; Lounge.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;u&gt;Don't be late!&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Captains will draft their teams that evening, with additional details about the draft coming soon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;u&gt;REGISTRATION IS THROUGH MATCHIV&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Registration opens&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;tomorrow at 6:00 PM through Matchiv&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Registration Fee: $82.00&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;When you register, you are registering for the&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;player pool&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;— you will&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;not select a team or playing level&lt;/strong&gt;. There are 8 positions for each level. Captains can pre-select a co-captain by emailing their co-captain selection to&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="mailto:president@capital-tennis.org"&gt;president@capital-tennis.org&lt;/a&gt;. If a captain selects a co-captain, they will not pick a player during the first round of the draft. After the draft, your team assignment and roster will appear in Matchiv.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#1A1A1A" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_0, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_0, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1"&gt;Level - When you sign up, you will be put into a level based on your current combined Singles and Doubles rating.&amp;nbsp; If you want to play a higher level please let me know I can manually move you.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;u&gt;WHEN WE’LL PLAY&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Team Tennis Schedule - A reminder, team tennis will play Thursday 6:30pm to 9:30pm and Every other Saturday from Noon to 2:30pm.&amp;nbsp; We do have the Saturdays we are not scheduled for as back ups in case there is rain.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#1A1A1A" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_0, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_0, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Schedule will be:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#1A1A1A" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_0, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_0, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Thurs 10/15&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Thurs 10/22&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Saturday 10/24&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Thurs 10/29&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Thurs&amp;nbsp; 11/5 (First Day of playoff)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Sat 11/7 (Final Day of playoffs)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;u&gt;HOW TEAM TENNIS WORKS&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Unlike our traditional leagues, you’ll register individually and then be&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;drafted onto a team&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;We are planning for&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;8 teams&lt;/strong&gt;, with&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;5 players per team&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;— one player at each CTA level:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Open • A • B • C • D&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;One player on each team will also serve as the&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Team Captain&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Each team match consists of&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;five lines of play&lt;/strong&gt;, using a combination of singles and doubles, with at least 2 doubles or 2 singles, and the last match required to be doubles. Every active player must play at least one line and may play a maximum of two lines.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;There are&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;no level restrictions on doubles pairings&lt;/strong&gt;, so captains will have plenty of flexibility when putting together their lineups.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;u&gt;SCORING&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Team Tennis scoring is a little different from our regular leagues —&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;every game matters!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Each line is played&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;first to 5 games&lt;/strong&gt;. If the score reaches 4–4, a&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;first-to-5-point tiebreak&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;determines the line.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;But winning the most lines doesn’t necessarily win the team match.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Instead, we add up&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;every game won across all five lines&lt;/strong&gt;, and the team with the most total games wins the match.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;There’s also an overtime element. If the team that wins the&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;fifth and final line&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;is still behind in the overall game total, the match continues into overtime.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;If the teams reach a tie in total games, they’ll play a&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;first-to-7 super tiebreak&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;to determine the winner.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;So even if your team gets off to a rough start, the match may be far from over!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;u&gt;SUBSTITUTES&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Substitutes are allowed, but there is a competitive penalty for using one.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;The opposing team receives a&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;1-game bonus for each substitute used, plus an additional game for each line that substitute plays&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;For now, we will continue using the existing&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;CTA Subs List&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;to find substitutes.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Team Tennis results&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;will not affect your CAPERS/Matchiv singles or doubles rating.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;u&gt;THE TEAM TENNIS DRAFT&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;We need&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;8 captains&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;for the season!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;If you’re interested in being a captain, you’ll be able to indicate that when you register.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;The official&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Team Tennis Draft will be held Tuesday, October 6 at 6:30pm at Violet Bar &amp;amp; Lounge.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;u&gt;Don't be late!&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Captains will draft their teams that evening, with additional details about the draft coming soon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;u&gt;REGISTRATION IS THROUGH MATCHIV&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Registration opens&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;tomorrow at 6:00 PM through Matchiv&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Registration Fee: $82.00&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;When you register, you are registering for the&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;player pool&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;— you will&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;not select a team or playing level&lt;/strong&gt;. There are 8 positions for each level. Captains can pre-select a co-captain by emailing their co-captain selection to&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="mailto:president@capital-tennis.org"&gt;president@capital-tennis.org&lt;/a&gt;. If a captain selects a co-captain, they will not pick a player during the first round of the draft. After the draft, your team assignment and roster will appear in Matchiv.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
