Step 1: we rank our players by "seeds". our #1 seed will play their #1 seed and our #2 seed will play their #2 seed. and so on and so on.
Step 2: we have 6 singles matches. (our top six players) and 3 doubles matches.
Step 3: we have to win more than 4 matches to win the overall match. ( so if our top six win, we automatically win the whole match). you can win 5-4, 6-3, 7-2,8-1, or 9-0.
Step 4:(Dana, this is where it gets complicated) our #1 doubles team is right now is Me and Katelyn(the girl who was in the picture). she is our #2 seed and i am the #3 seed. Our #2 doubles is our #1 and #4 singles player. so it all just depends on how the coach pairs our doubles teams.
Step 5: when we win all our singles matches, and can't lose, we do not play real #1, #2, #3 doubles teams. that is when we play the "backups" as doubles teams. there are also exhibitions that don't count toward the regular score.
Dana, if you think this is a lot, don't even get me started on score keeping......
By the way, disregard what time my computer said i posted this thing at, it said 4:19am. there is no way i would wake up that early to post a blog

okay Daniel, well i hate to break it to you, but i was confused at STEP 1.
So by the time I got to step 4, i wasn't even sure if you were speaking english anymore.....

that is ok dana, i kinda expected that!
Hi Daniel, I enjoyed the Tennis 101 lesson. I needed it almost as much as Dana. I got my computer fixed today. ($120.) I had to have a new modem & they reinstalled Earthlink. There were some software problems. Keep your fingers crossed. I will be looking for witty, entertaining blogs from you now. Love, Grammy
