Fall 2021 Session

Wildcard & Playoffs

All teams must be current on weekly dues in order to be eligible for the wildcard or playoffs. In each division we determine 1st, 2nd, 3rd and then we draw the wildcard from the remaining eligible teams. Ties are broken in accordance with the rule book (please refer to pages 36 & 37).

Playoff format is as follows:

Divisions with 8 or more teams

Tier 1 - 1st vs. WC; 2nd vs. 3rd

Tier 2 - 4th vs. 7th; 5th vs. 6th

Divisions with 5-7 teams

Tier 1 - 1st vs. WC; 2nd vs. 3rd

Divisions with 4 teams

Tier 1 - 1st vs. WC

IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO PLAY IN TIER 2 IT IS YOUR RESPOSIBILITY TO MAKE SURE THE OFFICE IS AWARE OF THAT FACT BEFORE THE LAST WEEK OF PLAY.

Winners will advance to the Qualifier Cups.

Handicap Complaints

Skill level evaluations can be submitted on the website in the contact us section OR you can send a detailed email to scoresheets@ctapa.com.

Bruce and the National Office are the only ones who can review skill levels.

MISSING ON PURPOSE

If you sending a skill level review stating that a player is missing on purpose; make sure that you have marked all those misses appropriately on your scoresheet. A defensive shot should be marked for every intentional miss.

When emailing a review to our office please include the player name, player number and what format you want the review done in. Also include if you think the player should be raised or lowered.

Proper scorekeeping is the key to defeating sandbagging.
