""League Rules: NPC League Format: Six players per team will represent their team in the matches each league night. A, B, and C matches are played. This designation is not skill-level, just team pairings. Before the match, captains or the captains designee will have their A, B and C players already written down on a score sheet and exchange their copy with the opposing captain who will have the same information filled out. They will each then fill in their player information and play the matches on the designated courts on the schedule. Matches will be best 2 out of 3 sets, to 15 points, win by one point. Players will change ends after each set and at 8pts in the final set if a third set is played. At the conclusion of the match both teams will take a picture of the score sheet and email it to the league administrator.
