Every member has a tag at the club that is used to reserve court time. It displays their name and rating level.

As a courtesy, all members should be present at least five minutes prior to their reserved court time. If you are more than 10 minutes late, your court time may be forfeited.

Court Stewards are responsible for the smooth operation of the Tagging Board. They will place a “Doubles Only” sign to allow maximum court usage when the Tagging Board shows two time slots completely filled.

1. The first member to place his or her tag on the upper hook sets the level of play during that court time.
   1. Members with the same rating are free to tag up with the first member.
   
   
   2. Members with a rating higher or lower than the first member must ask and receive permission from the first member before tagging up.
2. One member may only tag up a maximum of three other players on the same court. The first member must place his or her tag on the upper hook, closest to the board.
3. A member may tag up for one court at a time – double-booking is forbidden. Specifically, while a member is on court playing or involved in a DTC activity, his or her tag may not be removed in order to reserve a subsequent match or court time. Further, no other member’s tag may be used to falsely reserve any court time.
4. No player may tag up for court time 40 minutes prior to a DTC activity for which he or she has registered, such as ladder play, lessons, house league, team practices or games, or a tournament.
5. With a choice of courts available at the same time, as a courtesy, please allow doubles play to override singles play to permit maximum court time for members.

No telephone reservations for court times are permitted.
