The scorecard report also works for USTA and Juniors, but USTA captains need to check with their coordinator before submitting this as their scorecard. The USTA scorecard is a 3-part NCR form (i.e. carbonless) and is impossible to duplicate in Tennis Captain.

Release Notes for version 6.1.1
1. Added the ability to designate forfeit-wins without having to affect player
statistics. In other words, you can designate a forfeit-win or a forfeit-loss
without specifying any player's. This prevents the problem of recording a forfeit-win
as an actual playing-win for a given player or pair of players.
NOTE : Defaults should still be scored as a playing win for the winning pair.
For example, if your 2's defaulted (i.e. lost) when the match score
was 6-2, 4-4, then you must record them as losing the match
(6-2,2-6,2-6 or something like that). Defaults are too rare for me
to go to great lengths to distinguish between a regular loss and
a loss by defaulting (due to injury or something). The only place these
scores are used is on the Player Statistics reports. No other part of
Tennis Captain uses them.
2. Enlarged the column widths for the scorekeeper report (weeks 1 thru 7).
3. Built-in Email Server support for AOL users, allowing them to select the
tenniscaptain server to send email. Note: You must log onto AOL first, then
minimize it, then go into Tennis Captain's email.
4. Improved use of the TAB key in the Options screen.
5. Cleared the hints text from the lineup text boxes when a player is removed
from the active lineup.
6. Improved program load time (after the first run of a new version).
7. Expanded the Tennis Captain Manual it include help for the New Season Wizard.
Release Notes for version 6.0.0 thru 6.0.10
1. Added the "New Season Wizard" to aid users in creating a new season.
This wizard will add and select Players, add and select Teams, setup
pairings for the matches, and load you into the lineup screen, ready to go.
2. Enhanced the email screen by adding Year / Season filters so you don't see
every player or captain in the database when you try to select for sending email.
3. Added "Court Side Preference" to Players. You can now designate which players
prefer the Deuce side vs. the Ad side for returning serves.
4. Incorporated the "Court Side Preference" into the Lineup screen by adding columns
to the Player List. Also, changed the font so the information lines up better and
is more readable.
5. Changed information in the "Next Opponent" column to reflect the current week's
opponent, which is more relevant.
6. Added a Toolbar to the main screen and removed the goofy pictures that were in the
middle of the screen. Tennis Captain now looks like a real application program (I think).
7. Our fax number has changed. It is now 678-513-0533. This is also reflected in the program
and on the website.
8. Changed the "Cancel" button to say "Stop Adding" when you are in the middle of adding
players into Tennis Captain.
