2020 Oahu League Calendar (revised 10/22/20)

2020 Flex One Mixed 18 and Over League

Close out the year trying out our first ever flex league! Flex leagues are designed with you in mind and gives you the ability to play when it is convenient for you. With flex leagues, matches are arranged with your opponents at a mutually agreed upon location, date, and time. It could be during the day or evening, or weekday or weekend.

Some players were issued credits to their TennisLink account due to the cancellation of the 2020 Adult 18, 55 and 70 leagues. In order to redeem those credits, a player must be logged into their own TennisLink account and not have someone else register for them. Click on the link below to see if you have any credits and how to track your balance. Should you have any questions about your credit balance, contact the coordinator before registering for a team.

Flex One Mixed 18 and Over

USTA membership is not required for this league, but all players must have an NTRP rating and be at least 18 years old by November 14, 2020. Results from this league will not be calculated in a player’s year-end rating. 

Similar to the Tri-One match format, each match will consist of one (1) mixed doubles match. Mixed doubles consist of one male and one female partnering together. The levels of play will be determined by the combined NTRP ratings of the partners. The levels of play are 6.5, 7.5, 8.5, 9.5 and Open. For the Open level, it’s suggested that a player has a minimum rating of 4.5, but not required. In every division except Open, there should be no more than a 1.0 rating point difference between partners. 

While a full round robin is not guaranteed, a team will have at least four (4) team matches in the season. Your opponent for the week is scheduled in TennisLink, and you will have a week to complete the match. For example, if Team A and Team B are scheduled during the week of November 14, the match must be played and scores entered by November 21. 

For this league, a team will consist of only one (1) male and one (1) female. 

The league fee is $13 per player, which includes the $3 TennisLink fee. Balls will not be provided for this league and teams are expected to supply their own. Home and visiting teams will bring a can per match to use two (2) cans each time. Penn Championship extra duty felt balls (can with black cover) should be used. 

Scoring format is best of 3 tiebreak sets with a 10-point tiebreaker played in lieu of 3rd set, and ad scoring.
