40+
+ ADULT League Play Off Advancement
March 31 – April 2, 2017
NOTES:
1. 2017 USTA Dallas 40++ ADULT League Play Offs are a privilege for advancing teams. Having
earned their spot through competitive play over the course of the regular season, the DTA
expects that your team will be fielding the full 5 lines and players available throughout the
entire weekend.
2. The DTA’s goal is to host a City Championship. However, if faced with inclement weather, as the
tournament organizer the DTA maintains the right to alter post season play (i.e. number of
advancing teams, format, etc…) or possibly even canc
cancellation.
3. A player MUST play 2 times during the local league to qualify to advance to championship play
(i.e. League Play Offs, City Championship, Sectionals). 1 Default may be counted towards their
2-local league matches during the regular season.
