Format Note:
 This is a reminder to play the EXACT FORMAT each week. A lot of factors are considered when putting together court pairings. For players who like to read and are interested in understanding more about the format and scheduling process a new page has been created explaining it. If you do not like to read - just play the EXACT FORMAT.

Suggestions: Since the league has grown to almost 150 players, I have decided to write down the process for making formal suggestions. Suggestions meant to further the league's "more play" mission are welcomed. Players are encouraged to follow the "suggestions" link and read through the process.
