F5 Mission & Vision

Adding F5 Tennis tournaments alongside regular league play, such as USTA and ALTA, creates an extraordinary experience for tennis communities. It fosters teams that are deeply connected, relentlessly improving, and designed to endure. Rooted in our understanding of the challenges of managing and growing community tennis leagues, we aspire to build teams that not only excel in traditional league play but also serve as a supportive platform where players of varying skill levels can come together, exchange knowledge, and cultivate lasting relationships.

Matches, Playoffs & Championship

F5 Tournaments consist of 8 weeks of play: 5 Rounds, 2 Playoff Rounds, and 1 Championship match. All registered players play in all Rounds and all Playoff Rounds (one match per week). F5 match format is designed to be progressively difficult for advanced players to ensure equal opportunity for all players. An F5 Championship match will be played by the top four players from each level. Levels are determined by the total number of players in the tournament. The winner of each level may be awarded an optional F5 Championship trophy.

Match Scheduling

Similar to T2 or Ultimate, tennis match dates & times are scheduled by players at a time convenient to all participants. Matches must be completed before the designated "Play By Date". Matches may be completed earlier than their assigned week if agreed by all players.
