Sorry for the inconvenience.

To All Delegates of teams
playing singles/doubles in the Summer
By-law 3j states: 'Matches shall consist of four eight games sets of singles in
which each player shall play an opposing player in order of merit, followed by a
rubber of doubles......'
On the 'Fines and Penalties' page on the website it states 'loss of points if
player plays lower than nominated order of merit' $15 fine.
This is your final warning. If you wish to change your order of merit for your
singles/doubles teams please advise me BEFORE Tuesday, 6th September.

Mixed Rubbers
When entering scores on-line for Mixed Rubbers sections could you please enter
the Mens rubber first, followed by the Ladies rubber, then the 2 Mixed rubbers.
If the ladies is entered first the statistics for teams will be incorrect!
Thankyou

Submission of Match Scores:
All match scores for the Weekend
Senior Competition are to be submitted via the on-line scoring system (TROLS),
which can be accessed via this
link. Note that a User ID and Password are required in order to
submit match scores.
Here are links to the manuals for
the on-line entering system in PDF format.
All score sheets for the Weekend
Senior Competition are to be retained by the Home club until after the date
of the Grand Final. In the event of any query, a request may be made for the
scoresheet to be submitted to the Record Secretary for review.
Third Set Tie-Break
The Committee is trialling the
option of playing a third set tie break (not a set) for the Summer
Competition 2011-12 in Ladies Rubbers. The option to play a third set tie
break is to be decided before the start of the match, with both Captains in
agreement.
Mobile Phones
As a courtesy to other players, all mobile telephones should be turned
to silent for the duration of all matches. Special allowance may be made in the
case of medical emergencies.
Matches at Melbourne University Tennis
Club
Players are required to pay a car parking fee if they wish to park on the University campus. Parking
inspectors conduct frequent patrols and will issue fines for any cars which do
not display a valid parking ticket on the dashboard. Free car parking is
available along Swanston Street or Royal Parade.
Adverse Weather
In the case of adverse weather, both teams must attend at the venue for
play. Score sheets need to be filled in, and names entered into the
on-line system.
Heat Outs
It appears that some matches have been declared "heatouts" on a day
prior to the date of the match, and that some teams have not arrived at courts.
By-law 12 states - "If the temperature should
reach 35 degrees C at the appointed starting time or thereafter, play may be
stopped at the option of either captain. Any postponement must NOT be
arranged before the appointed starting time." By-law 10d
also states that all players must be in attendance within 30 minutes of the
appointed starting time. Refer to this link for selected
current temperature readings: BOM

Senior
