Important Announcement

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
______________________________________________________

March 14, 2007


While inputting the names to the USTA Tennislink we were notified that three of the 14 and Under Players were not eligible due to USTA regulations. In an Advancing League, which we are in, all players have to remain age eligible up to August 31, 2007. With this in effect, the players will be moved to the 18 and Under division and that some matches had to be defaulted.

We discussed the matter with the USTA and believe the best solution is to have a playoff between the teams that this impacted: LIONS, ICE TIGERS and POLAR BEARS. The winner of this playoff will be the INTERMEDIATE representative and will be going to REGIONAL. We will announce the playoff as soon as possible.

WEEK FIVE

Week Five complete. The Spirit beat the undefeated Monarchs by one, 29-28. Storm upended the Rampage 29-18 in the 18's. In the 14's Ice Tigers won over the Polar Bears 31 to 23 and Tiger Sharks continued to be undefeated by downing the Lions 30-20.

Next Sunday will have the Polar Bears playing the Lions the winner will be going to the Regional with the Tiger Sharks. Ice Tigers still have a shot, if they can beat the Tiger Sharks and Polar Bears and Lions play to a tie then we will have a playoff. In the 18's the Storm need to beat the Monarchs to stay alive, if the Spirit get a point they are in along with the Monarch for the Districts at South Towns Tennis Club March 25th at 2:00 PM.

THANKS

Would like to thank Taylor Cotter and Rachel Yolovich for subbing for the Rampage.
