Summer Championships 2011 - Entry Form
|
RULES : 1. All competitors must be full adult members of Barnet L.T.C., intermediates, students or juniors with senior status - not open to weekday members. 2. Finals Day is Saturday 9th July. Please do not enter if you are unable to play on this date. You must be available all afternoon (from 12.00p.m.), so if you have other commitments this day please don’t enter. Please inform the Tournament Referee of any holidays etc. you have booked during the tournament period and you will be advised as to whether you will be able to enter. Players taking long holidays during the tournament has caused considerable problems in previous years. If players do this without giving notice they are liable to be scratched from the tournaments,as it is unfair on other competitors. Players must be available to play on both weekday evenings and weekends. It has caused major problems in recent years when players say they either can’t play during the week or they can’t play at weekends, so you must have some availability on both. 3. The Closing Date for entries for all events is 21st April. Players can only enter by completing an entry form and either posting or e-mailing it by the closing date. Players who have not paid their club membership fees before 1st May will be scratched from all events. 4. The draw will be posted on the notice board on the weekend of 23rd/24th April. It is every player's responsibility to check the draw to see when they are playing. 5.This year we are reverting to both players/pairs being EQUALLY RESPONSIBLE for contacting their opponents. The player(s) who makes contact must give a choice of at least 3 dates within the play-by dates – at least 1 of these must be a weekend and at least one must be a weekday. If all the dates are refused then a walkover may be claimed. However, players should try to arrange matches within the spirit of a club competition and not deliberately try to engineer walkovers – for example, if players know their opponents are away for 3 days then offering those 3 days is not very sporting! It would also help the smooth running of the draw if the player/pair who qualify last contact the other players/pair to let them know they have played.The match winners must write the result up on the draw sheet. Every year delays are caused because results are not written in. Players may be scratched if they do not write results in as it will be assumed that the match has not been played. 6. The Tournament Referee is Jean-Marie Fabry (Tel: 07894 789757, e-mail: jm.fabry@gmail.com). His decision in all matters is final. 7. All matches this year will be the best of 3 sets with a tie break at 6-6 in all sets. 8. If you would like to enter a doubles event but have no partner please write `Partner Wanted' on your reply slip. We will then try to find a partner for you. Please do make an attempt to find a partner, as we cannot guarantee that we can pair everybody up. 9. Entry for all events is now FREE! Entry can either be by
10. Competitions will be split into `A' and `B' events if appropriate, and the size of the entry permits. 11. Ratings – Singles results will be sent to the L.T.A. to count towards L.T.A. ratings.
