LTT: FED CUP


What do you think?

Yes or No?

Ideas?

Maybe we can also create teams for those who dont have enough players to make up a team.
European Union - (SCG)/(SVK)/(POL)/(AUT)
Asian Region - (CHN)/(JPN)/(IND)

FOR THOSE COUNTRIES WITH LOTS OF PLAYERS MAY MAKE A TEAM A AND TEAM B

FED CUP:


Play-Off ties, each tie is contested in a best of five matches format, and is played across two days. On the first day there are two singles matches, and then the reverse singles matches take place on the following day. The final match is a doubles.



Teams can have max. 4 players in each match + captain but she/he won't play in that tie. Or 3 players + captain and he/she will play matches. (like in WTA Fed Cup).



WE CAN ONLY MAKE 16 TEAMS!!

OK! We did have another idea. Instead of playing for your country, maybe you can make and name your own teams?

But its not really FEDCUP. Its more like Team Tennis.

But the choice is there and we would like to hear ideas. We need to put together our Season 2 Schedule.

:bounce:

I like Fed Cup. Patty/Martina. :drool:

I like the idea of Fed Cup. Maybe there could also be a 1 week period during the middle of the season for the Team Tennis idea too.

Playing Fed cup, and create teams for those who don't have enough players to make up a team for their country! ;)

I wish we will play Fed cup, me and Jool are ready to rock :bounce:

I like Team Tennis. :)

Team Tennis I think

Fed cup


make it real because in reality not everyone from a big nation can play only the top players

I like both ideas! :D

:confused: where's ana's compatriot jankovic?

:eek: what an ugly tongue! :p

It reminds me of yours :lol:

I rather keep things like on the tour: Fed Cup by countries only :p (I usually never am so conservative :lol: hey, understand me, in FWTA I can't play coz anyone else if from my country , and I dont complain because the others play it , but anyway evrything you will all choose will be ok for me :hug: )

I would like to nominate Kim Clijsters as the captain for Beligum, if Kim still gets to play. Right, since Belgium only has a total of three players. ;)

:wavey:

A.Stevenson, M.Seles and S.Williams havent yet responded to this thread, so it wouldn't be a wise decision for them to be captain. :tape:

We will require new points from everyone as we deleted all points at the end of last season, throughout the YEC and it is the TEAM CAPTAINS responsibilty to get all players points and make team line-up.

I really don't care what the teams are, we just need 'ACTIVE' captains. :o

Kuznetsova will play for a russian team. Dont mind which, dont wannabe a captain tho. ;)

I would like to nominate Kim Clijsters as the captain for Beligum, if Kim still gets to play. Right, since Belgium only has a total of three players. ;)
sorry I was away last week end but Kirsten is fine with Kim as a captain :cool:

I love the USA 2 Team! I'd love that to stick! :D

I love the USA 2 Team! I'd love that to stick! :D
