'Rose Bowl' 2010/11

We are today posting out to all Secretary's the new Rose Bowl Handbook - 1
per team. This handbook contains everything you need for the competition,
from the group stages through to the Final game.

There are changes to the format of the competition, and most importantly,
results are to be sent via an e-result facility in the Rosebowl button. No
paper score sheets are to be sent.

The Group stage, Player averages and Rules will be published on the web.

Player Averages will be updated as new players are registered and following
the group stage when all averages will be reviewed.

Please contact your Club Secretary for your Handbooks.

Have a good competition.'

Congratulations to Linda Attridge of Hullbridge TTC, who won a bronze medal in the Six Nations Tournament 2 weeks ago. Lyn said she was really pleased to represent England B and actually win something...... and also because she came very close to beating the 2 women playing for England A, so feels really inspired for this season. 

Well done Lin.

Hockley C Withdraw from Division 4

To all Captains in Division 4, of the Southend & District Table Tennis League, please note that Hockley C have withdrawn from Div 4.

Trevor Vincent, who runs this team, knew from the onset that this team may not make it, but he has tried very hard to achieve 3 teams for Hockley. As a new club to our League last Season, Trevor has put a lot of time and effort into developing a new club into our league and should be congratulated on setting up 2 teams and just failing to add a third. The Committee would like to thank Trevor for his efforts to promote table tennis at Greensward School in Hockley. (Hockley TTC was once our strongest club, winning the Premier Division 3 years running, with the superb team of Mike Watts, Ray Eley, Andrew Bawden and Alan Carroll.

Can you please all mark your records that Hockley C have withdrawn and confirm to Jayne that you have noted this change.

 Many thanks

 Ken

Two Rule changes from ETTA

At the ETTA AGM in July, in addition to agreeing to follow the ITTF list of approved rubbers, there were two rule changes accepted and passed which should be observed. 

1.      A racket cannot be changed during the course of an individual match unless it becomes accidentally damaged so badly that it is unusable.

2.      A point is not scored against a player for an accidental double hit. An accidental double hit, such as the ball touching the racket and the racket hand, can be ignored.

SDTTL League Secretary, Jayne Johnson

SDTTL Cancelled 15 September Meeting & Revised 2010/11 Meeting Dates

 

Hi everyone,

 

It was originally intended to have a Southend Committee meeting next week, but as so many of the committee attended the Captains meeting on the 07 September, the majority of current issues were covered.  Therefore we have made the next full meeting of the Executive Committee 21 October 2010. 

 

I have also altered the 2011 dates to tally up better with the County meetings.

 

There are obviously ongoing areas of discussion such as ETTA registration, Rosebowl and Hardbat Tournament which we will conduct by e-mail.

Ken Field, SDTTL Chairman
