Discretion of Club Pro
Team Composition
Each of the Davisville Mixed Intercounty Teams will consist of 12 men and 6 women (AGM Motion 2010)
The Daytime Ladies C Doubles Team will consist of 9 women.

Meetings
There will be one meeting held prior to Intercounty Tryouts. This meeting will include the Club Pro(s), the Teams and Tournaments Director, and anyone else that both the Club Pro and Teams and Tournament Director agree on inviting.
There will be a meeting held after each Intercounty Tryout round. These meetings will include the Club Pro, the Teams and Tournaments Director, the Teams and Tournament Chair (if available), and anyone else that both the Club Pro and Teams and Tournament Director agree on inviting.
There will be a meeting held after the final Intercounty Tryout round in each division of play. This meeting is held to determine the players that will be selected for a particular Intercounty Team. The meeting will include the Club Pro, the Teams and Tournaments Director, the Teams and Tournament Chair (if available), and anyone else that both the Club Pro and Teams and Tournament Director agree on inviting.
Informing Players
If the Club Pro(s) chooses to have certain players called back on “if necessary” or other unspecified days, the Teams and Tournaments Director, or any individual assigned by the Teams and Tournaments Director, will inform these individuals by phone. These individuals will be informed at least 12 hours prior to the new tryout date. If a called back player is unable to attend the new tryout date set by the Club Pro(s), the call backed player’s record over the prior tryouts that season will be used. It is highly recommended that a called back player attend a tryout session that the Club Pro(s) arrange.
After the final round, all players will be contacted via email or phone to be informed whether or not he/she made a certain League Team.
Final decisions will be also posted in the clubhouse and on the website.

Captains
Any member of the Davisville Tennis Club has the right to run for captaincy of a League Team.
Those who choose to run for the position will be reported to the League Team he/she chooses to run for.
The League Team decides whom to elect as their captain. (Elected based on which player has the most votes. If more than one person has the same amount of votes there will be either a re-election, if more than 2 people, or a double team captaincy.) AGM Motion 2006
If no Davisville Tennis Club member runs for captaincy for a League Team, the Teams and Tournament Director will be in charge of that particular League Team.
The captain is in charge of deciding who will play each week, with whom, and which time slot.
The captain must make their best effort to inform all league team players of the schedule two days prior to a match.
The captain is also in charge of food for all home matches.
