Attend at your own risk (includes players and spectators) as we have no liability. Please pay close attention to your surroundings and be on alert at all times, especially during active play.

These premises are not monitored to ensure the security of personal property of participants or attendees at our events. You are responsible for the security of your own belongings. The event organizers nor facility shall have no liability for any theft or damages.

Team/Captain Responsibilities

*Check the schedules & scoresheet and initial it after EVERY MATCH for accuracy. Win/loss tallies are taken from the scoresheets so if those are incorrect then the win/loss tally will be incorrect too. Schedules change so be sure to check online for the LATEST schedule.

*Check the Win/Loss tallies EVERY WEEK for accuracy. Once seeding has occurred for playoffs it is too late to make any changes. These are posted online for all to view at our website on the page where a team views the schedule.

*ONLY CAPTAINS or acting captains are allowed to approach the Referee with any questions, clarifications, or appeals. Verbal abuse or similar towards our refs or if non-captains (this includes players and their fans) approach/direct aggressive comments to our referees this will result in a yellow card warning and then a red card loss of point and match ejection by the offending parties if it continues.

*Occasionally we receive special time requests (i.e, late match times, a bye week, no 7PM, etc.). We try our best to honor time requests but know we cannot accommodate every request. We will not accept a request for “all early times all season”.

*Rarely will we need to schedule a two match wait time in between a team’s two matches for the night (other than playoffs). It does happen so have your team be prepared if your team must sit out two matches.

*We keep track of ONLY the 1045 match times and attempt to limit that to a maximum two times a season NOT counting playoffs (excludes teams requesting late match times). Your team might have multiple 915 or 10pm match times since we only track 1045. Special time requests will likely mean more late match times. Your team must be willing to play all match times we assign in order to continue in the leagues, notify us immediately if your team cannot meet this requirement and must drop out.

*If an issue arises at leagues, immediately bring it to your referee’s attention or to our League Director on the premises, usually Brad Baxter (do NOT call/text Brenda/Anita unless directed by Brad). Waiting until the match is over or after everyone’s gone home will be too late for resolution.

Season:

Seasons are usually 6 weeks long (League Dates for the Year), 10 matches plus playoff night for ALL teams. Teams select/are placed in divisions based on skill level. Review our Platinum Sports SA Rules for descriptions. Each team will have double-header matches for the first 5 weeks (each match is best out of 3 sets) for a total 10 matches of league play plus the single (sometimes double) elimination playoff tourney the 6th week. At times we will have shorter seasons which results in a lower team fee, fewer matches, and they will be advertised as such.

When and Where:

Coed/Reverse Coed Leagues matches @ MCSP are on Monday evenings. We may also host Coed on Thursday evenings if we have court space for Coed C and B divisions. Women’s Leagues & Men’s Leagues matches @ MCSP are mainly on Thursday nights with occasionally another night thrown in the mix. Occasionally we add FRIDAY night leagues for Coed, Women’s, or Men’s. Matches on all nights except Friday @ MCSP will be played between 7-11:30PM. Friday night matches are between 7-10PM. Match times are 7, 745, 830, 915, 10 & 1045 each match lasting 45 minutes. All matches are best out of three sets: two sets to 21 (cap at 23) and one set to 15 (cap at 17) if needed. Mission Concepcion Sports Park, (MCSP) is located at 714 E. Theo, San Antonio, TX.

Cost:

Team Deposit Amount & Deadline: DEPOSIT (USUALLY $120) is due no later than 5PM TWO DAYS before the league starts and if we fill up the deposit will be due SOONER. Teams paying the deposit after the deadline will most likely be placed on a waitlist or scheduled for a BYE the first week.

Early Bird Price & Deadline: The Early Bird Price (USUALLY $360) varies depending on the number of weeks a particular season lasts. Early bird price is charged if paid in full by the day AFTER the FIRST night of league (the deposit counts toward your team’s price). FOR EXACT PRICES/DEADLINES check the “Teams, Schedules, & Standings” for a particular division: Coed, Women’s, or Men’s

Regular Team Price & Deadline: The Regular Team Price (Usually $380) varies depending on the number of weeks a particular season lasts. Regular Team Price is charged if early bird price is not paid in full by the deadline (the deposit counts toward your team’s price). FOR EXACT PRICES/DEADLINES check the “Teams, Schedules, & Standings” for a particular division: Coed, Women’s, or Men’s

Late Fee and Team Cancellation: If the entire team balance is not paid in full by the Regular Deadline, then a 10% late fee will be added to the balance due and the entire balance must be paid with 24 hours of the Regular Deadline. We may also impose points penalties in future matches. If the entire balance plus late fees are not paid after the 24-hour period, then the team may be dropped from the leagues. Teams who have shown a disregard for prompt payments will be required to pay the entire team fee the following season at the time when the team REGISTERS in league apps. If payment is not made at the time of registration, the team will be dropped.

Refunds/Credits: If a team wishes to cancel out of leagues, 100% of all monies paid can be refunded or credited to the captain if we are notified PRIOR to the Deposit Deadline. After that if a team wishes to cancel or is dropped then a prorated amount can be refunded/credited based on court/referee time we have paid for on behalf of the team, the number of matches played, and any late fees. Exception: once the 3rd week schedules have been released, only credit can be given towards a future Platinum Sports SA event.

Free Agents: Free Agents do not pay until they are picked up by a team.
