| USTA INFO & RULES For FALL LEAGUE beginning 9/21/02. Revised 6/17/04 USTA INFO: Official Name: Wall Bangers Fall League, USA Team Tennis This site is located at: Wood Park Branch Pike Cinnaminson, NJ 08077 USTA Section: USTA/MIDDLE STATES USTA District: NEW JERSEY This has been assigned a Site ID number 8782002280. RULES: 1. Four teams 2. There will be no limit to the roster. 3. Three matches: 2 Doubles, 1 Singles 4. 2 sets no-ad, 9 point tie-breaker at 6-all, Third set will be played, if needed. Third set=1 Super Tie-break game (Play to 10, win by 2, 1st server start serving 1 pt. then each server serves 2 pts., thereafter, switch sides on every 6 points and at the conclusion of the match.The player, or pair in the case of doubles, whose turn it was to serve first in the tie-break game shall receive service in the first game of the following set.) 5. Matches to be held at Wood Park 6. Two start times: 1PM (Say, for teams A vs. B) and 2:30PM (for teams B vs.C). o Only three courts will be used at once 7. Round Robin – each team will play each other once 8. Winner-Most matches won at the end of 3 weeks (match=2 sets/Super-Tiebreaker) 9. Losers supplies balls. Opposing parties bring balls. There will be 2 unopened cans. 1 can will be opened - winner takes unopened can. 10. No Charge 11. Rain Make-ups: Maple Dawson Courts o Tueday 6 PM for Sat. 1PM match. o Thursday 6PM for Sat. 2:30 PM match. 12. PENALTY FOR LATENESS: 15 minutes is a default. 13. Players from other team's rosters can be used interchangeably. In a match between the Jammers vs. the Chefs, Player A from the Jammers can be used by the Iron Chefs with permission of the Captain of the Jammers. No permission is required if Player A is from a team other than the Jammers. This is so that members of our league get maximum opportunity to play 13.a. All players must be Wall Bangers. 14. SUBSTITUTION RULE: A team can, during court court changeovers, INCLUDING THE SUPERTIE-BREAK GAME, substitute a player into a set for any reason. Once a player is replaced, he can return to that set and players can play in both matches. If a substitution occurs in doubles, the remaining player cannot change the side on which he receives or the service order. The Supertiebreaker should be treated as a new set, and all substitutions are allowed. 15. Opposing captains must exchange Game Day Rosters before the start of the match. A verbal exchange is okay. 16. Only the players named on the game day roster can be used for substitutions. 17. If teams have five players from their permanent roster, then all five players must play. Substitutes from another team's permanent roster is not allowed. Essentially, Game Day Rosters cannot exceed 5 players unless they are all on your team. 18. A minimum of 3 players must be from the teams' permanent roster. If not, play can resume, however, All Courts are forfeited to the opponent. 19. Captain's must play players from their permanent rosters first and they must play for the full match. They cannot be substituted with players from another team's permanent roster. 20. Franchise players from another team cannot be used as substitutes or be on the game day roster of another team. 21. Substitute players must go into a match already warmed up. There will be no additional warm-ups (esp. for substitutes) once the match has started. 22. In summary, you can substitute players in and out of the SAME set or match as many times as you want as long as this is done only on court changeovers. The general idea is to test how substitution works with as little rules as possible - KISS. 23. The standings will depend on total "courts" won for the round not for the day. Each court played is important. Example: 1st doubles is 1 "court", 2nd doubles is another "court", singles is a third "court". Against your first scheduled opponent, if you won 1st and 2nd doubles, and lost the singles, you have won two courts and lost one. Your record will be 2 wins and 1 loss, not 1 win and zero losses. 24. The Overall champion will be determined by play-offs. The season play will determine seedings in the play-offs. #1 will play #4 & #2 will play #3. 25. Each team must use permanent rosters only. 26. Rain: If it is raining 2 hours before the match, match will be postponed. If there is forecast for rain, captains/co-captains to decide at least 2 hours before the match whether to postpone the match or not. 27. Co-captains will be named. 28. Winning teams will report scores. 29. To insure worthwhile matches on Sunday effective 7/25/03: a. Captains will verbally exchange Rosters and Line-ups by Weds. 9PM. Exchanges will be made in Good Faith b. Captains will agree on Featured Matches to promote matches. 30. To encourage Team Captain recruiting: Captains agree to allow new players on the recruiting captain's team. New players must wait one week before playing. Approval of their team assignment will be at the Weds. meetings. USTA RULES APPLICABLE TO OUR LEAGUE On No-Ad Scoring "Any non-roster player who will be used as a substitute should be identified to the opposing team's captain prior to the start of the day's matches. 15.If a player wins his first point, the score is called 15 for that player; on winning his second point, the score is called 30 for that player; on winning his third point, the score is called 40 for that player, and the fourth point won by a player is scored game for that player except as below: If both players have won three points, the score is called deuce; one deciding point shall then be played. The receiver shall choose whether he wishes to receive the service from the right-half of the court or the left-half of the court. The player who wins the deciding point is scored the game. Doubles In doubles a similar procedure to that for singles shall apply. At deuce the Receiving Team shall choose whether it wishes to receive the Service from the right-half of the court or the left-half of the court. The team who wins the deciding point is scored the game. Mixed Doubles (For Information Only: Not applicable to the Wall Bangers League since we are non-genderized) In mixed doubles, a slightly different procedure will apply as follows: At deuce, with the male player serving, he shall serve to the male player of the opposing team irrespective of which half of the court he is standing, and when the female player is serving, she shall serve to the female player of the opposing team. USTA Comment: In a non-officiated match the Server should announce, in a voice audible to the Receiver and spectators, the set score at the beginning of each game, and point scores as the game goes on. Misunderstandings will be avoided if this practice is followed." Nine-Point Tiebreaker: If a set reaches 6-6, a nine-point tiebreaker is played to decide the winner of the set. Service is as follows: The first, second and third servers serve twice. If the score is tied at four all, the last server serves three times. The receiver has a choice of where he/she wishes to receive. (This is different from the 12 point where the first server serves once and then the subsequent servers twice each.) A tiebreaker is won by the first team to reach five points. Players change sides after four points. The tiebreaker counts as one game and decides the outcome of the set. Super Tie-Break "USTA Regulation I.V.4. authorizes the use of the Set Tie-Break or the Super Tie-Break in lieu of the third or final set in selected tournaments. The following system shall be used in a tie-break game. Singles "A player who first wins seven points shall win the game and the set provided he leads by a margin of two points. If the score reaches six points all the game shall be extended until this margin has been achieved. Numerical scoring shall be used throughout the tie-break game. The player whose turn it is to serve shall be the Server for the first point. His opponent shall be the Server for the second and third points and thereafter each player shall serve alternately for two consecutive points until the winner of the game and set has been decided. From the first point, each service shall be delivered alternately from the right and left Courts, beginning from the right Court. If service from a wrong half of the Court occurs and is undetected, all play resulting from such wrong service or services shall stand, but the inaccuracy of station shall be corrected immediately it is discovered. Players shall change ends after every six points and at the conclusion of the tie-break game. The tie-break game shall count as one game for the ball change, except that, if the balls are due to be changed at the beginning of the tie-break, the change shall be delayed until the second game of the following set. Doubles In doubles the procedure for singles shall apply. The player whose turn it is to serve shall be the Server for the first point. Thereafter each player shall serve in rotation for two points, in the same order previously in that set, until the winners of the game and set have been decided. Rotation of Service The player (or pair in the case of doubles) whose turn it was to serve first in the tie-break game shall receive service in the first game of the following set. |

| WALL BANGERS CHAMPIONS 2003 COSSACKS Ihor Shapowalenko-Captain |
| Wall Bangers Bulletin. September 3, 2004. On May 4, 1493 Pope Alexander VI drew a Line of Demarcation that divided the uncolonized world between Portugal and Spain. Almost as arbitrary, and almost as important, a coin-flip would determine the Wall Banger League Season Champion. Iron Chefs captain, Al Damiani shouted, "Heads", as papal-like arbiter Matt Short flipped the Susan B. Cossack Chief Ihor Shapowalenko looked on helplessly hoping to keep his own head intact. He knew his mutinous marauders would be seeking it once they found out their season-long efforts had been lost on a coin toss. He dreaded hearing his team's continual complaints. Like the voice in his own bedroom, he could hear his teammates harangue, "Ihor, why do you always fall short?" And short of the mark, Ihor's team turned up. "Heads", Matt Short shouted. With that shout, Ihor felt the Chef's rapier piercing through his heart. But before Ihor succumbed, he realized his own ignorance. The Season's Championship was but a false god. The one true god lay in, "The Wall Banger's Play-offs 2004". And this event had yet to be held. With hopes high, he hoped all would be witness to: Ihor's Resurrection aka "The Wall Banger's Play-offs 2004" All Teams will report to Moorestown High School Courts at 10:30AM. Play to begin at 11 AM on September 12, 2004. Iron Chefs vs. Heart Breakers Cossacks vs. Jammers The winners would play at 1PM at Wood Park. A celebration will be held after the match at Ihor's. Bring your own food; bring your own libation. Witnesses only. Details of our season play are shown below.

Championship Match 1PM, Wood Park. 9/18/2004 Saturday Wood Park AB Tournament Excerpts from Rules 23. The standings will depend on total "courts" won for the round not for the day. Each court played is important. Example: 1st doubles is 1 "court", 2nd doubles is another "court", singles is a third "court". Against your first scheduled opponent, if you won 1st and 2nd doubles, and lost the singles, you have won two courts and lost one. Your record will be 2 wins and 1 loss, not 1 win and zero losses. 24. The Overall champion will be determined by play-offs. The season play will determine seedings in the play-offs. #1 will play #4 & #2 will play #3. 25. Each team must use permanent rosters only. 2004 WALL BANGERS LEAGUE SCHEDULE (Revised 7/26/04) Summer League 07/11/04 Sunday 1PM Iron Chefs 2 Cossacks 1 Sang defeated Bauscher, 6-4 and 6-4 Hada/Brown defeated Sonoga/Leodore 6-4, 6-4 Dugan/Damiani lost to Ihor/Collins defeated 6-3, 6-3 2:30PM Heartbreakers 0 Jammers 3 Phay/Szumski defeated Maxwell/Cosky 6-3, 6-0 Rosewitski/Johns defeated Baran/Damiani 6-3, 6-3 Deleon/Annussek defeated Maddow/Drew 6-4 and 6-2 07/18/04 Sunday 1PM Iron Chefs 2 Jammers 0 DUGAN DEFEATED BARAN 6-1 & 6-3 HADA-DAMIANI DEFEATED SZUMSKI-PHAY 4-6, 7-5 & 6-4 2:30PM Cossacks 2 Heartbreakers 1 IHOR-GREG DEFEATED SHORT-MADDOW 6-4 AND 6-1.
