Ann Arbor: Singles Flex Leagues Aug 19th-Sep 22nd (Points Race Event)

**Overview**

Flex Leagues are back and better than ever, offering you the chance to play your matches on your schedule while improving your game. This specific kick-off event runs from August 19th to September 22nd, serving as the perfect way to start your year with competitive, level-based play.

**What is a Flex League?**

A Flex League is a modern approach to competitive tennis that fits into your busy life. UTR Sports pairs you with local opponents for four verified matches over a five-week period. You and your opponent coordinate the specific time and court location that works best for both of you. It is the ultimate way to enjoy high-quality matches, boost your UTR Rating, and connect with other players in the area.

**How It Works**

Divisions are grouped based on UTR rating and location to ensure level-based play, with unrated players placed at the discretion of the league manager. Each player receives a five-week schedule within a group of four to ten players. A sixth week is included specifically for makeup matches if needed. Juniors aged 16 to 18 may be placed in either a Junior or Adult group depending on the manager's assessment.

Match Format: Best of two-out-of-three sets

Scoring: Ad scoring with a 10-point tiebreaker in place of a full third set
