The 2014 Manila Mavericks season is the inaugural season of the franchise playing in the International Premier Tennis League (IPTL).

In an organized sports league, a typical season is the portion of one year in which regulated games of the sport are in session: for example, in Major League Baseball the season lasts approximately from April to October. In other team sports, like association football or basketball, it is generally from August or September to May although in some countries - such as Northern Europe or East Asia - the season starts in the spring and finishes in autumn, mainly due to weather conditions encountered during the winter.

International Premier Tennis League

The International Premier Tennis League is an annual team tennis league that takes place in various cities in Asia. Founded in 2013, the elite level exhibition tennis tournament took place for the first time in November 2014. Due to financial issues the tournament was not held in 2017.

Move to Manila

On 10 May 2014, before the founder and owner of the franchise had been revealed to the general public, IPTL announced that the Bangkok franchise would be moved to Manila, Philippines due to political unrest in Thailand. [4] [5] On 19 June 2014, IPTL introduced Francis Lumen as the owner of the Manila franchise. [6] The ownership group that moved the team to Manila comprises Filipinos Hans T. Sy, Jean Henri D.

In public relations and communication science, publics are groups of individual people, and the public is the totality of such groupings. This is a different concept to the sociological concept of the Öffentlichkeit or public sphere. The concept of a public has also been defined in political science, psychology, marketing, and advertising. In public relations and communication science, it is one of the more ambiguous concepts in the field. Although it has definitions in the theory of the field that have been formulated from the early 20th century onwards, it has suffered in more recent years from being blurred, as a result of conflation of the idea of a public with the notions of audience, market segment, community, constituency, and stakeholder.
