Fall Competitive Play, Practice Tomorrow

Howdy-

Practice tomorrow, 4-7.

If you haven't yet joined the best tennis club in the nation, we will be around tomorrow if you have any questions, collect some dues, or get you signed up to play competitively with us.

We need your USTA numbers, if you are a USTA member. Its real easy to retrieve your number by calling them up if you don't have it memorized or tattooed somewhere. Link to the entry form is on the right side of the website.

Competitive Stuff:

So its looking like we will be traveling to 3 away team tournaments this semester (Houston, Austin, and Dallas), the first of which on Oct 13. We also have scheduled a dual match vs tu (to be played at home) and we will be hosting a singles tournament of our own. The team tournaments are played with 6-10 people per team, in a WTT format. Initial placement on our teams are primarily based our Intra-club competitive matches in the fall, and challenge matches in the spring. Last year we were able to take 5 teams to some of the tournaments.

This fall we will be playing a win-lose type setup, similar to Vicki's tennis class, where you will play people with similar won/lost ratios. For example, on the third week, if you have won 2 and lost 1 match, you will be playing against someone else who has also won 2 and lost 1. We will post the entire setup online soon, but for now, the first round matches are attached.

From here on out, these matches are your responsibility to get in touch with your opponent and get your match played, either during our Sunday practices or in your own time. We are allowing 1 week per match, starting tonight and ending a week from now ( 2 out of 3 sets, regular scoring ). Please let us know if there are any problems getting in touch or finding a suitable playing time.

Score Reporting: check out the "Report a score" button on the right side of our website, where you will enter winner's and loser's name, match number, and your score.



Thats all for now,

David
