The TLN leads a collection of city based websites where we connect participants on the tennis courts.

Here are some of the domains in our network:
San Diego Tennis, San Antonio Tennis, Manhattan Tennis

Our playoffs Play after every league.

How do the Playoffs Play?
We use the playoff system to determine who is the overall winner of the season. Its a single elimination tournament where we will eventually have one champion.

Tourney are Skill Level Based
Tourney are skill level based; in most events we only Play 1 division for each skill level. So the qualifying players from the division will be placed in one tournament bracket. But, in some examples we have multiple divisions of the same level.

Seedings & Brackets
We present all the qualifiers on the Division report pages. League Rule #10 is used to shape the brackets:
Rule #10) Playoff Positioning
Regular league ties are broken by this order:
1) Overall Record, based on tennis matches over .500. 6-1 is 5 tennis matches over, 8-2 is 6 tennis matches over and would be better.
2) In league Head-to-Head record for players tied after #1
3) We promote players playing tennis matches, so 6-1 would be better than 5-0.
4) % of games won

Anywhere from 2 to 50 players can qualify for the tournament. The brackets will be produced based upon the # of participants.

Scheduling & Deadlines
In most playoff tourneys we set up a deadline to play each round’s tennis match. This is to make sure the playoffs don’t drag out due to various reasons. If there is a deadline for the tournament it will be clearly communicated in the kickoff email and also on the tournament page.

Prize Pool & National Tournament
The winner of the tourney will receive an invite to the national championship that will be held at Crandon Park Tennis Center in Key Biscayne Florida on Nov. 5-7.

* They will also be seeded according to Rule #10 indifferent of which level the wins came from.
