Remember: Player limitation Rules Applies to All Leagues 

Team Captains:

Mid-Atlantic Section Rule #10 (the so-called “2-player rule�) has been revised for 2008 and now applies to all leagues, regardless of whether they are "advancment" or "non-advancement" leagues. Remember also that the rule applies within the same season and Division but not across seasons or Divisions (in USTA League Tennis terminology, a “Division� is Adult, Senior, or Mixed Doubles).

For non-advancment leagues only (e.g., MCTA's Fall Combo and Fall Mixed, or Winter Ladies Day League), the 2-player restriction applies only within the same District. In other words, more than 2 players can be on the same team in such leagues if one team is in Maryland and the other team is in Virginia, Washington, DC or West Virginia; but only 2 players can be members of the same Fall team in Montgomerry County and, say, Howard County.

In the event you need to delete a player from your roster, these policies and procedures apply!

1. Complete a Player Deletion Form. Be certain to complete it in its entirety; in order to process it, the players full name, USTA Membership Number, Team Code and Captain’s Name all must be legible and accurate. Save the form to your hard drive first; then complete it.
2. E-mail the completed document as an attachment to MCTA Leagues Coordinator Carol Cohen (ccohen@mctatennis.org) with a copy to your level coordinator. (If you prefer to print the form and mail it, contact Carol for mailing instructions.)

Remember that once the Captain signs the Player Deletion form, the player is no longer eligible to participate in match play and “deletions� cannot be reversed.

USTA’s membership database is not sophisticated enough to recognize you as a former member simply by using your name and address. It assumes you are a brand-new member, with no player history. Hence, when it assigns you a new Membership Number, all your existing data – such as NTRP Rating – is not automatically transferred.
