"USTA #: 919436842 Really do favor the full three set format."
"We join these leagues to play tennis in a competitve format. A couple of loose points in a set may mean the loss of a game--in a TB it could mean the match. Once the players have split sets, let the third set decide who will win--not a time schedule!"
"more tennis!"
