Southern COMBO
18/40 & Over

Combo Doubles is FUN! The program allows participants to self rate, thus making it easy to play with family and friends. For most players, this is the program's single most attractive attribute. Local team play is available in Adult (same gender) combined levels 7.5 and 8.5. Team matches consist of three doubles matches with a 10 point tie-break for the 3rd set.

Player Requirements: Teams must have a minimum of 6 eligible players registered by the deadline. It is suggested that there are no more than 10 players on a roster as only 6 are needed to play each match. Teams must play at the combined level (the combined NTRP rating of a doubles team). Teams must have at least 3 players rated lower than the maximum rating per player level. This league does not affect NTRP ratings.

An individual player’s rating must not exceed the highest rating allowed per level as follows:
5.0 level – rating cannot exceed 2.5 - 7.5 level
– rating cannot exceed 4.0
5.5 level – rating cannot exceed 3.0 - 8.5 level
– rating cannot exceed 5.0

Play Format:
Regular scoring. Best 2 of 3 sets w/10-point tiebreak in lieu of a full 3rd set.
