League page

A league page shows where every team in a league stands and how each team match went. Each dotted word on it opens its answer in these docs.

Summary

The summary says where the season stands.

• The line under the name gives the area, the season and how many teams the table lists.
• “Regular season” shows how far the season has gone, like 3 to 5 “team matches each so far”. At the season's end it says “Over”, until playoff or sectionals results replace it.
• “Next matches” gives the next date on the schedule, and how many team matches fall on it.
• “Playoffs” names the latest playoff winner, with its playoff record.
• “Sectionals” gives each league team's record at sectionals. If only the playoff winner went, it leaves out the name, which the playoffs line already gives.

The table

The table's heading tells you how complete it is, because the Desk may not hold every result.

• “League table (unofficial)” means the Desk has every team's whole record, and orders them by the league's rules.
• “Teams in this flight” means the Desk has only part of some team's record, so no team gets a place.
• “Teams” lists the teams the Desk has, in no order of its own.
• A ranked table gives each team's place, with a T when two teams share it, so the team at the top reads 1, or T1 when shared.
• “W-L” counts regular-season team matches against teams in the table, so a team reads 0-0 until it plays one.
• “Points” or “Lines won” comes next, whichever the league ranks on, then “Sets lost”.
• The line under a team opens its club page, when the Desk has one.

Teams in this flight

When the Desk is missing some of a team's results, no team gets a place, because a place ranks each team against every result in the flight. The teams still follow the league's order over the results the Desk has. There's no grid either, because it lists teams by place.

Partly observed

Some teams play teams the Desk doesn't cover, so their records here miss those matches. When that happens, a note under the table says “Some of these records leave out matches against teams the Desk does not cover.”

How the table is ordered

The Desk orders the table by USTA's published league rules (the full order, tiebreaks included). It still calls the table unofficial, because a match never played or never finished comes with no scorecard.

Some leagues rank on points. A team's points are the league's own match points from each team match, so they can differ from the lines it won.

Every result

• “Every result, in table order” has a row and a column for each team, in table order, with every regular-season result between them.
• A filled mark means the row's team won. A hollow ring means it lost, and neither means a draw.
• An empty cell means the two teams haven't met.
• A cell opens nothing, so to open a match, use its date in the week lists.
• Some leagues get no grid, such as one with missing results.

Week by week

• Week by week · 55 team matches opens every regular-season team match, by week. Each date opens its match page.
• “Latest results” shows the newest results, on a page with no grid.

Playoffs and sectionals

• “Playoffs and sectionals” lists each playoff and sectionals team match of the league's teams, oldest first. Each date opens its match page.

Next matches

“Next matches” lists the team matches of the next 7 days, or of the next date on the schedule when none fall in them.

Highest Desk levels

“Highest Desk levels” lists the league's 10 highest Desk levels in the page's area. A Desk level is the Desk's estimate of how someone plays now.

• The list has no position numbers, because a hundredth between two levels is too small to rank on.
• Rated is the NTRP rating, with only its letter at the league's own level. A disqualified rating always shows whole, because it carries two NTRP ratings.
• If all 10 share one rating, the list drops Rated and names that rating once, after Player, since a column of one rating tells you nothing. The full player list always shows it.
• In a league whose level adds two players' NTRP ratings, such as a mixed or combo league, a line under the heading says so. Each level in the list is still one player's own.
• When two or more people share a name, each name links to its own person, and the level is that one person's own.
• All 221 players opens the full player list. Withheld players are left off and counted.

Other areas and years

The page ends with “Other areas and years:”, then links the same league in its other areas and years.

The Desk Pass link

A Desk Pass shows each line's win chance before a team match, when both teams play in areas the Desk covers. This season's page ends with See each line's win chance. It opens the pricing page, and the ranking view shows it under the back link. A past season's league page has no link.
