Bring back the full third set!
We the undersigned are asking the USTA-NORCAL board to reinstate the third set for all regular season league matches. continue reading »
"I fully support reinstating the third set. The tiebreak rule is causing me to lean toward not participating in future USTA league teams.It takes away the full sense of competition which includes physical indurance. "
"Please leave in the third set for all USTA play. Also leave a player at the same level through the season. "
"USTA # 10337034"
"Bring back the third set. Just playing a 10 point tie breaker in lieu of the deciding third set does not truly represent the essence of the game. You might as well flip a coin should you decide to not reinstate the third set."

"I am in support of reinstating a third set versus a tiebreaker."
"USTA number 11718598"
"Much more indicative of a true match winner(s) with the playing of a third set. "
"Third set is tennis as it is intended to be played. USTA Norcal should listen to its membership."
"When the touring pros use this match tiebreaker in lieu of the third set, then we will have to agree to it. BUT until then, PLAY IT OUT in the third set!"

"LET US PLAY TENNIS !!! THE WAY IT5 WAS MEANT TO BE PLAYED. ALL OF THE MEMBERS OF MY TEAM ARE AGAINST THE TIE-BREAK. THERE IS TALK AT THE LOCAL LEVEL ABOUT PLAYING THE THIRD SET OUT AND REPORTING IT AS A TIE-BREAK. ALLEN"
"USTA #1180045384"
"Bring back complete tennis matches please!"
" The Crawford family wants to support tennis as a physcial fittness sport and not rush the game. We do not want the first and second set to be compromised based on a abbreviated third set, which would become a servers set. It would take the grace of the"
"I feel cheated in this short format. I have taken the day off from work in order to play these matches. "
"a great idea!!!"

" We just played a Sr.USTA match last Saturday... we had 3 tie-breakers, and no one (not even the winners)liked the tie-breaker 3rd set !!"
"USTA# 10233841 "
"tie-break is insufficient"
"Please reinstate the normal best of 3 full sets. I cannot think of any reason to support the tie-breaker format. Let us Play!!"
"We spend a lot of time practicing and preparing for our matches and would like to be able to play a full third set instead of a tiebreaker."
"I AM NOT IN FAVOR OF THE 10 POINT TIE BREAK IN LIEU OF A 3RD SET"
