Winter Season 2010:
To Delegates of teams in Mens
10 game sets section 2
Highett has withdrawn from competition. The section will stay as an 8 draw
section and will now read as follows:
1 St Patrick's Murrumbeena
2 Beaumaris CC
3 Black Rock
4 Bye
5 Victory Park
6 Bye
7 Mordialloc 1
8 Mordialloc 2
The committee decided against changing this to a 6 team draw due to court
allocation and the fact that 3 matches have been played so far. The 6 team draw
is totally different to the 8 team draw! Please notify your teams and sorry for
the inconvenience.

To All Delegates of Winter
teams that have entered Mens Singles/Doubles
We have only received 3 entries for ladies singles/doubles. Does any club have a
problem if we grade these teams accordingly to play amongst the mens teams?
Please ask your teams. The teams would be graded according to ability. If you
are then in an Open section your teams would be able to use males or females as
emergencies. If BRTA receives no replies we will assume clubs are happy for
ladies to play amongst the mens teams.

To All Delegates of teams
entered for Winter 2010 Competition
BRTA will be commencing on-line
entering for our senior competition in Winter 2010. There will be an
information night to learn how to enter scores on-line on Tuesday, 27th April at
Le Page Tennis Club, Herald St, Cheltenham at 8.00pm. Our Sunday morning teams
are using this program for the first time this season and all is going well.
Your club will need to supply a User ID and Password for your delegate to be
able to access this program. If your club is already using this program for
junior teams the same person can enter senior scores. Please either bring these
2 words on the night of the meeting or email them to me jillian.sanders@bigpond.com
before the meeting.

Note from Lisa Ng, Secretary,
Melbourne University Tennis Club:
"Would you be able to send out an advisory to clubs who will play against
Melbourne University? Could you advise them that they are required to pay the
car parking fee if they wish to park on the University campus. Parking
inspectors conduct frequent patrols and will fine any cars who do not purchase
& display the parking ticket on their dashboard. Free carparking is
available along Swanston Street or Royal Parade. Thanks Lisa"
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.
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 2009/10 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.
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.

Saturday Emergency Pool
