单打最低10人、双打最低10对完整队伍可开赛，正常容量20人或20对；11–19全部保留，第21个报名单位起才是超额候补。小组人数为4–6，完整单循环后按层排位，每人或每对计划5–6场真实比赛。不足10个有效报名单位不能发布签表，需主办方调整或取消并按订单处理；不会以轮空凑比赛。

排位采用两人对决、三人循环或四人半决赛与名次赛。13人、17人部分尾部排位沿用已完成的小组赛果，仍只计一次真实比赛；必要补充赛不改变赛事名次。部分11人排位安排中，已完成五场小组赛的选手可直接确定末位；实际安排以现金资格和发布签表为准。不同人数小组不直接按总积分跨组比较，具体排位池、对手与场数以发布签表为准。

年度每个小组按真实排名选出最高的奖项组资格合格者：单打须有正式 RLR，双打须至少一人有正式 RLR。只有部分小组有合格者时，仅这些代表争夺前三名奖项，其余正常排位；只有一名合格代表时直接确定其奖项组名次，并安排必要补充赛。全部无人合格则不产生前三名奖项组及对应奖励，其他排位照常进行。少数19/20人资格组合采用三人半决赛加决赛，避免重复对手或超过六场。无 RLR 的单打球员和两人均无 RLR 的双打队伍不能递补奖项组名额。

满20人（双打20对40人）的冠军现金为300美元。不足额时，冠军现金＝本组有效报名费合计－组织费（单打100美元，双打200美元），最低100美元；已取消、退款或免费替补不重复增加报名额。满额双打冠军各获300美元现金；不足额双打的公式金额及最低100美元均为两人合计，由冠军两人平分。单打10/14/19人、每人20美元时，现金分别为100/180/280美元；双打11对时，两人合计240美元，每人120美元。金额发布签表时锁定，年龄扩出的独立组仍按后台公布的各组奖励，不被本公式覆盖。冠军、亚军、季军的100/100/50美元奖项券拆成10美元报名券发放。

赛事计划场数不保证受退赛、弃权或争议影响后仍能实际打满。排位阶段至少预留六天，包括小组末场比分的24小时确认，以及轮间24小时确认；前置结果未确认或有争议，不提前认定晋级者。本人赛程显示每场具体截止时间。

Singles can start with 10 players and doubles with 10 complete teams, with a normal capacity of 20 players or teams. Fields of 11–19 retain every entry; capacity waitlisting starts with the 21st entry. Groups of 4–6 play a full round robin, followed by placement, scheduling 5–6 real matches per entry. Fewer than 10 valid entries cannot produce a draw; the organizer must reschedule or cancel and handle the affected orders. Byes do not count as played matches.

Placement uses two-entry matches, three-entry round robins, or four-entry classification brackets. Some lower placement pools for fields of 13 or 17 carry forward an actual group result; that match is counted only once. Supplementary matches do not change event places. In some 11-entry placement arrangements, an entry that has completed five group matches can receive the last place directly. The actual assignment depends on cash eligibility and the published draw. Raw group points are not compared across groups of different sizes. Follow the published draw for your pool, opponents and match count.

Each annual group selects its highest-ranked eligible entry for the top-three prize bracket: singles players need a published RLR, and doubles teams need at least one rated partner. If only some groups have eligible entries, only those representatives contest the top-three awards; other placement matches continue. A sole eligible representative receives the prize-bracket place directly and plays any necessary supplementary matches. If none qualify, there is no top-three prize bracket or associated awards; ordinary placement continues. Certain 19- or 20-entry qualification patterns use a three-entry semifinal and final to avoid repeat opponents or more than six matches. Singles players without an RLR and doubles teams with neither partner rated cannot fill a prize-bracket place.

With 20 players, or 20 doubles teams / 40 players, the champion cash award is $300. For an underfilled field, champion cash equals valid entry fees, minus the organization fee ($100 for singles or $200 for doubles), with a $100 minimum. Canceled entries, refunds and free substitutes do not add duplicate fee value. In a full doubles field, each champion receives $300 cash. In an underfilled doubles field, the formula amount and $100 minimum are team totals, shared equally by the champions. At $20 per player, singles fields of 10, 14 and 19 award $100, $180 and $280; 11 doubles teams award $240 total, or $120 to each champion. Amounts are locked when the draw is published. Separate age divisions retain their published configured awards. The $100/$100/$50 prize vouchers are issued as individual $10 entry vouchers.

The scheduled match count does not guarantee every match will be played after withdrawals, walkovers or disputes. Placement needs at least six days, allowing 24 hours for the last group score and 24 hours between dependent rounds. A player does not advance on an unconfirmed or disputed result. Check each match’s published deadline.

仅适用于后台已启用年龄扩组的单打组别。先确认最多20个正式名额，再接受最多20人付费候补，合计最多40人。报名截止时，已付款且资格有效的球员（含候补）达到30–40人，才将全体按比赛开始日的年龄尽量均分为两个年龄组，每组15–20人。30人分15+15，31人分16+15，39人分20+19，40人分20+20；奇数时较年轻组多1人。报名期间达到30人不会提前分组。

分组按完整出生日期排序；同日出生按可复核的系统抽签顺序划分，不按先报名或候补身份分组。付款仍在处理、资格或出生日期需核对时，先完成核对再锁定名单，不把未完成付款计入扩组人数。未满30人时维持原组，空缺按原递补规则补齐，最多保留20人；未成功递补者退还实付报名费，并按订单退券。退款申请、处理成功和实际到账分别显示。

两个年龄组分别沿用按实际人数自动编排的小组循环及排位赛，每人计划5–6场真实比赛；具体对手与场数以发布签表为准。两个年龄组分别排名，奖杯、现金及报名券以各组公布的独立奖励为准，不因未满20人而套用普通不足额组的奖金公式。月赛年龄组仅设公布的奖杯，开赛赠券沿用本期规则。双打不启用此年龄扩组规则。

This applies only to singles divisions with age-group expansion enabled. Up to 20 confirmed places are followed by up to 20 paid waitlist places, with a maximum of 40 players. At the registration deadline, 30–40 eligible paid players, including the waitlist, are split as evenly as possible by age on the tournament start date into two groups of 15–20 players. A field of 30 splits 15+15; 31 splits 16+15; 39 splits 20+19; and 40 splits 20+20. With an odd total, the younger group has one more player. Reaching 30 before the deadline does not finalize the groups.

Players are ordered by full date of birth; identical birth dates use an auditable system tie-break. Registration order and initial waitlist status do not determine the age group. Pending payments, eligibility questions or missing birth dates must be resolved before the roster is locked; unfinished payments do not count toward the threshold. With fewer than 30 eligible paid players, the original division remains, with up to 20 players and vacancies filled under the existing waitlist rules. Unsuccessful waitlisted players receive a refund of the amount paid and voucher return under their order. A refund request, successful processing and receipt of funds are separate states.

Each age group uses the existing field-size-based round robin and placement format, planning five or six real matches per player. Follow the published draw for opponents and match counts. Each group has its own standings and published trophy, cash and voucher awards; the ordinary underfilled-field cash formula does not override these configured awards. Monthly age groups have only the published trophy awards, while kickoff vouchers follow that month’s existing policy. This age-group expansion rule does not apply to doubles.

年度自由双打组、赛程与个人奖励

自由双打6.5及以下（D65）加入现有年度赛事，与单打组别并列；各组独立报名、分组和排名，符合条件可兼报。单打最低10人、双打最低10对开赛，正常容量分别为20人和20对40人；11–19人或对全部保留。双打沿用年度赛日期：前两周小组循环、第三周排位，每对按最终人数安排5–6场；不采用月赛的20天加10天安排。具体日期、每人报名费和各场截止时间以所选赛事页面及付款确认页为准。

满20对的年度双打，冠军每位有 RLR 评级的队员可领300美元现金及100美元代金券；亚军、季军每位有 RLR 的队员分别可领100、50美元代金券。不满20对时，冠军两人合计现金为本组有效报名费合计减200美元组织费，最低合计100美元，按两人均分确定各自份额。例：11对、每人20美元，原价合计440美元，现金合计240美元，每人份额120美元。至少一人有正式 RLR 的队伍可按小组成绩争取前三名奖项组名额。获奖队伍中无 RLR 的队员只领对应奖杯，放弃自己的现金和名次代金券；该份额不转给搭档，开赛赠券不受影响。两人均无 RLR 的队伍可参加小组赛及其他排位赛，不能进入前三名奖项组。获奖后使用各自账号的领奖记录和二维码。此规则不改变月赛奖杯及开赛赠券配置。

报名方式与级别

男双、女双、混双均可组队。可组队报名，也可个人报名由官方匹配。

组队报名：两人分别报名付款，再邀请并确认搭档。个人报名：报名截止后，由官方按报名顺序和级别条件匹配搭档；不保证一定匹配成功。

报名按人缴费；可以邀请约好的搭档，也可以在同组名单中寻找级别合适的球友。男子、女子及混合组合均可参加。每人先按 RLR 对应半级归档，女子再减0.5，二人折算级别相加须不超过6.5（含6.5）。例如男子3.0可搭男子3.5或女子4.0；女子4.0折算为3.5。名单显示姓名、性别和级别，不显示年龄或出生日期；双打不按年龄扩组。

邀请与固定搭档

双方完成付款、尚未组队且合计级别合格，才可发送邀请。每人最多同时发出两个待处理邀请，可主动撤回；收件人可接受或拒绝。一个邀请被接受后，两人立即组成固定队伍，双方发出的其他待处理邀请自动撤回，收到的其他待处理邀请失效。接受前系统再次检查资格，不能同时加入两队。

报名截止后不再接受组队邀请，未处理邀请失效。组队成功不等于一定取得正式席位，仍需查看队伍是否显示为正式参赛。成队后固定搭档，不可私自换人；开赛前一人正式退赛后，留下的人可按下述规则重新组队。

名额、自动匹配与开赛前递补

每个双打组20对、40人，按完整成队的先后顺序确认前20对；超额成队和尚未成队者进入候补。报名截止时，系统按报名时间先后，在同组符合合计级别的未组队球员中自动配对。时间表用于后续约赛，不是自动配对的硬性条件，系统不保证一定找到搭档。

开赛前一人退赛，原队伍解散并释放席位，留下的人保留原报名时间及付款，无需重新报名或付款，回到找搭子名单。已有完整候补队按成队顺序优先递补。留下的人在报名截止前可重新邀请搭档，截止后按原报名时间及兼容级别参与自动匹配；新队伍按重新成队时间排队，不继承原席位。再次发生退赛与重组时仍按上述规则处理。主动退赛者的退款按本人订单规则独立核算，不影响留下者保留的报名及付款。开赛时候补关闭，所有未取得正式席位者，包括单独一人和超额候补队员，退出本届并安排退还实付报名费；用券按订单返券记录处理。退款申请、处理成功和实际到账是不同状态，请查看订单。

开赛后的官方免费替补

开赛后需要永久退赛，请联系官方；普通候补已经结束，不会持续排队或自动补位。官方从本组曾报名、已结束候补且资格合适的球员中联系替补，确认本人同意后，在后台替换退赛队员。新人免费参赛，与保留搭档合计仍须不超过6.5；年度前三名奖项组换人后，队伍仍须至少一人有正式 RLR；每人只按自己的 RLR 资格领取奖项，无 RLR 的队员只领对应奖杯。

替补保留队伍和已确认的历史成绩；未完成比赛改用新队员，相关时间、场地安排须重新确认。有待确认或争议赛果时先处理赛果。替补不触发退赛者自动退款，也不重复发放开赛赠券；退款或特殊情况由官方按原订单处理。不可私下代打。

四色空闲时间与约赛确认

沿用单打的日期和时间段。每场四人各有一种颜色，同一个格子分别显示四人的空闲状态；请按姓名图例辨认。优先找四人都有空的时段，并及时更新自己的空闲时间。四色齐全只表示四人都标记有空，不代表球场已订或比赛已确认；具体时间、场地须四人共同确认。没有共同时间时，四人协商其他时段；临近截止仍无法约成，请及时联系官方。

联系球员与短信

四位球员均可主动联系约赛，不设本场联系人。联系列表标明“搭档”和“对手”，姓名旁展示可用的 RLR 评级；点击号码可单独打电话或发短信，也可发起写给其他三人的短信。具体时间、球场费用和订场分工由四人协商。

两人及四人短信统一使用简短英文：“🎾 This text is to coordinate our Rolling League tennis match.” App 仅打开短信草稿，由本人核对后发送；是否形成群聊取决于设备、短信应用和运营商。无法群聊时，可逐一联系。

比赛、成绩与排名

双打以完整队伍为单位，最低10对开赛、正常容量20对；11–19对全部保留，不能把未配对个人当作一队。后台按最终队数自动分组并进行小组完整单循环，再安排排位和必要的补充赛，每对计划5–6场真实比赛、不重复对手；发布后以本人赛程为准。月赛按小组同名次分层；年度先选各组排名最高且至少一人有正式 RLR 的队伍进入前三名奖项组，其余参加普通排位。已有交手结果可沿用但不重复记分，补充赛不改变赛事名次。无占先、限时、弃权及同分排名沿用本页对应规则。任一队员可代表本队提交比分，由对方队员确认，搭档不能替对手确认；普通待确认比分24小时无回应按规则自动确认。单场弃权不等于退出整届赛事。

Annual division, schedule and individual awards

Open Doubles 6.5 & below (D65) is a division inside the existing annual event, alongside singles. Entries, draws and standings are separate; eligible players may enter both. Singles requires at least 10 players and doubles at least 10 teams to start, with normal capacities of 20 players and 20 teams / 40 players. Fields of 11–19 retain every entry. Annual doubles uses two weeks of group play and one week of placement, scheduling 5–6 matches per team based on field size, rather than the monthly 20-day plus 10-day calendar. Check the selected event and checkout for dates, per-player fees and match deadlines.

In a full annual doubles field of 20 teams, each champion with a published RLR receives $300 cash and $100 in vouchers; each eligible runner-up receives $100 in vouchers and each eligible third-place player $50. With fewer than 20 teams, champion cash is the valid entry fees, minus a $200 organization fee, with a $100 team minimum. Divide that total equally to determine each player’s share. For 11 teams paying $20 per player, gross entry fees are $440, champion cash is $240 total and each share is $120. A team with at least one published RLR may advance to the top-three prize bracket based on group results. An award-winning teammate without an RLR receives only the corresponding trophy and forfeits their cash and prize-voucher share; that share does not transfer to the partner. Welcome vouchers are unaffected. Teams with neither player rated may play group and other placement matches but cannot enter the top-three prize bracket. Each recipient uses their own award record and QR code. Monthly trophies and welcome-voucher policies are unchanged.

Entry options and ratings

Any gender pairing: men’s, women’s and mixed pairs are welcome. Enter with a partner, or sign up individually for organizer matching.

With a partner: each player registers and pays separately, then confirms the partnership by invitation. On your own: after registration closes, the organizer’s system matches eligible partners by signup order and rating. A successful match is not guaranteed.

Registration and payment are per player. Invite a partner you already know or find an eligible player in the same division. Men’s, women’s and mixed pairs are welcome. Classify each player’s RLR down to a half level, then subtract 0.5 for a woman. The adjusted total must be 6.5 or lower, including exactly 6.5. For example, a male 3.0 can partner with a male 3.5 or a female 4.0, whose adjusted level is 3.5. The partner list shows names, gender and ratings, but no age or birth date. Doubles does not expand into age divisions.

Invitations and fixed partners

Both players must have paid, be unpaired and meet the combined limit before an invitation can be sent. Each player may have at most two outgoing pending invitations and may withdraw them. Recipients may accept or decline. Once accepted, the two players form a fixed team: their other outgoing invitations are withdrawn and their other incoming invitations expire. Eligibility is rechecked on acceptance; a player cannot join two teams.

Invitations close at the registration deadline and unresolved invitations expire. Forming a team does not guarantee admission; check whether the team is confirmed. Partners remain fixed and private replacements are not allowed. If a partner officially withdraws before the start, the remaining player may form a new team under the rules below.

Places, automatic matching and pre-start replacements

Each doubles division admits 20 teams / 40 players. The first 20 complete teams receive places; additional teams and unpaired players remain on standby. At the registration deadline, the system pairs unpaired players in signup order with eligible partners in the same division. Availability is for arranging matches, not a mandatory automatic-pairing criterion; a partner is not guaranteed.

If a player withdraws before play starts, the original team dissolves and releases its place. The remaining player keeps their original signup time and payment without registering or paying again, and returns to the partner pool. Existing complete standby teams advance first in formation order. Before the registration cutoff, the remaining player may invite a new partner; after it, they enter automatic matching by original signup time and compatible rating. A new team queues by its new formation time and does not inherit the old place. The same rules apply to repeated withdrawals and re-pairing. Any refund for the withdrawing player is assessed separately under their order policy and does not affect the remaining player’s entry or payment. Standby closes when play starts. All unadmitted players, including unpaired players and members of surplus teams, leave the event and have their actual entry payment refunded; voucher returns follow the order record. A refund request, successful processing and receipt of funds are separate states.

Official free substitutes after the start

For a permanent withdrawal after kickoff, contact the organizer. Ordinary standby has ended; there is no continuing queue or automatic admission. The organizer contacts an eligible player from that division’s closed standby entries, obtains consent and replaces the outgoing member in the system. The substitute plays free and must still meet the 6.5 limit with the remaining partner. After a substitution in the annual top-three prize bracket, at least one partner must still have a published RLR. Awards depend on each player’s own RLR eligibility; an unrated teammate receives only the corresponding trophy.

The team and confirmed historical results are retained. Unfinished matches use the new member and require time and court arrangements to be confirmed again. Pending or disputed results must be resolved before substitution. Substitution does not automatically refund the outgoing player or issue another welcome gift; the organizer handles refund exceptions under the original order. Private stand-ins are not allowed.

Four-color availability and match arrangements

Use the same dates and time slots as singles. Each match participant has a color, and each cell shows all four availability states; use the name legend to identify them. Prioritize slots available to all four and keep your availability current. Four colors mean everyone marked themselves available, not that a court is booked or the match is confirmed. All four must agree on the actual time and court. Agree on alternatives together when no slot works; contact the organizer promptly if a deadline is approaching without agreement.

Contact players and messaging

All four players can arrange the match; there is no assigned coordinator. The contact list identifies your partner and opponents and shows available RLR ratings beside their names. Tap a phone number to call or text that player, or start a message to the other three participants. Agree on the time, court costs and booking responsibilities together.

Both two-player and four-player messages use the same short English text: “🎾 This text is to coordinate our Rolling League tennis match.” The app opens a draft for you to review and send. Group messaging depends on the device, messaging app and carrier; contact players individually if it is unavailable.

Matches, results and standings

Doubles requires at least 10 complete teams to start, with a normal capacity of 20. Fields of 11–19 teams retain every team; an unpaired individual does not count as a team. The system creates complete round-robin groups, then placement and any necessary supplementary matches, scheduling 5–6 real matches per team without repeat opponents. Follow your published schedule. Monthly placement tiers follow group finishes. The annual top-three prize bracket selects the highest-ranked team in each group with at least one published RLR; the remaining teams enter ordinary placement. An earlier result may be carried forward without recording it twice; supplementary matches do not change event places. The No-Ad, timed-finish, forfeit and tie-breaking rules on this page apply. Any of the four participants may submit; a player from the opposing side confirms, not the submitter’s partner. Ordinary pending scores are automatically confirmed after 24 hours without a response or dispute. Reporting an incorrect score pauses automatic confirmation; contact the submitter to correct it. Forfeiting one match does not withdraw the player from the event.

1. 年度赛和月赛统一采用无占先（No-Ad）：40–40后再打一分决定该局，由接发球方选择接发球区。正常比赛仍为三盘两胜，前两盘六局盘、6–6抢七，第三盘抢十；正常抢七和抢十均须净胜两分。
2. 场地预约有限时，双方须在开赛前约定限时比赛及结束时间，并在场地结束前5分钟启动收尾。个人临时有事不能单方面改为限时比赛。
3. 限时收尾时，正在进行的一局由分数领先方赢得；若局内平分，原发球方在平分区发一个决胜分。该盘局数领先一局者赢得该盘；局数相同则打一分决胜。若双方各胜一盘且尚未开始抢十，打一分决胜；已在抢十则领先一分即可获胜，平分再打一分。用于决出盘或整场胜负的单分抢七延续发球次序，由接发方选择接发球区。不得提交平局，具体流程见下方南加州程序。
4. Rolling League补充规则：至少正常打完第一盘，才可提交限时完赛。第一盘未完应保留比分、在赛事规定期限内另约续赛；有疑问请联系主办方。
5. 录入收尾后的实际比分，选择“限时完赛”，确认双方赛前约定且已按程序收尾。例如6–3、3–2可作为限时赛果，不能把未打的局补成6局。提交后仍由对手确认，24小时未回应自动确认。
6. 已确认的限时赛果参与胜负、积分和排名；前两盘按记录的局数计算净胜局，第三盘决胜分计一盘但不计普通局。新规则不改写已确认的历史赛果或已公布的排位对阵。
7. 本场开打前无法出赛，或开打后因伤病、身体不适或突发事情无法继续，均可在比赛详情申报本场弃权，无需填写比分。本场按弃权规则处理，不影响后续比赛的报名。双打成绩计入本赛事排名，不计入单打长期排行榜。

1. Annual and monthly events use No-Ad scoring: at deuce, the next point wins the game and the receiver chooses the receiving side. Regular matches remain best of three sets: two six-game sets, a seven-point set tiebreak at 6–6, and a ten-point match tiebreak instead of a third set. Regular tiebreaks require a two-point margin.
2. For a limited court booking, agree on a timed match and the finish time before starting. Begin the finishing procedure five minutes before the booking ends. A personal scheduling issue does not allow either player to impose a timed finish.
3. At the timed finish, the player ahead in the current game wins that game. If the game is tied, the same server serves one deciding point from the deuce court. A one-game lead then wins the set; if games are tied, play a one-point tiebreak. If sets are split and the match tiebreak has not started, play a one-point tiebreak. In an unfinished match tiebreak, a one-point lead wins; if tied, play one more point. A one-point tiebreak follows the service rotation, with the receiver choosing the receiving side. No tied result can be submitted. See the Southern California procedure below for the full sequence.
4. Rolling League addition: the first set must be completed normally before a timed finish can be submitted. Otherwise, keep the score and resume within the event deadline, or contact the organizer for guidance.
5. Enter the actual final scores, choose Timed finish, and confirm that the format was agreed before play and the finishing procedure was followed. A result such as 6–3, 3–2 is valid; do not add unplayed games to reach six. The opponent confirms the result, with automatic confirmation after 24 hours without a response.
6. Confirmed timed results count toward wins, points and standings. Net games use the recorded games in the first two sets. Deciding match-tiebreak points count as one set but not ordinary games. Previously confirmed results and published placement draws are preserved.
7. If a player cannot play before the match begins, or cannot continue because of injury, illness or an emergency, report a forfeit in match details. Do not enter a score. The match is handled under the forfeit rules, and registration for later matches remains active. Doubles results count within their event and do not add players to the long-term singles leaderboards.

1. 小组赛胜一场得1分，负一场得0分，积分高者在前。
2. 两人同分，优先比较相互交手结果；没有有效相互胜负时，依次比较全组净胜盘、全组净胜局。
3. 三人及以上同分，依次比较原同分选手之间的胜场、全组净胜盘、全组净胜局。任一步骤只剩两人同分时，回到两人规则。
4. 仍无法区分，由主办方公开抽签并记录结果。净胜盘＝赢盘数−输盘数；净胜局＝赢局数−输局数。第三盘抢十按一盘计算，抢十分数不计入普通局数。
5. 弃权按确认结果计胜负，不虚构盘数或局数。仅已确认的有效结果计入排名，包括24小时自动确认。未全部完赛显示暂列，完赛后仍同分显示待裁定。
6. 已公布排位赛的历史名次和对阵保留，不因新规则自动重排。小组排名与跨赛事累计净胜局榜、RLR榜分别计算。

1. A group-stage win earns 1 point; a loss earns 0. Higher points rank first.
2. For two tied players, their head-to-head winner ranks first. If there is no valid head-to-head winner, compare net sets, then net games, across the entire group.
3. For three or more tied players, compare wins among the original tied players, then net sets and net games across the entire group. If only two remain tied at any step, apply the two-player rule.
4. The organizer settles any remaining tie by a public draw and records the result. Net sets = sets won minus sets lost; net games = games won minus games lost. A deciding match tiebreak counts as one set; its points do not count as ordinary games.
5. Walkovers count toward wins and losses, without invented sets or games. Only valid confirmed results count, including scores automatically confirmed after 24 hours. Standings remain provisional until the group is complete; unresolved final ties await an organizer decision.
6. Previously published placement rankings and draws are retained. Group standings are separate from the cumulative net-games and RLR leaderboards.
