LADDER AND TEAM CHANGES EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY Posted on our Website 4/23/04. Committee: Stu Hada, Frank Cosky, Al Damiani 1. Effective Immediately. To encourage more teams to be on the Ladder. a. Teams challenging-in and losing will be placed at the bottom of the Ladder. This will be in effective till 5/31/04. i. This is a reversion to our original rules. Team Ladder members now recognize that there is value to be on the Ladder, even if it is at the bottom of the Ladder. That value being greater consideration for USTA play to members of the Ladder. b. Team deletions has been suspended till 5/31/04. c. "Inactive" and "To be Deleted." Will be ignored in selecting teams for Sunday's USTA Matches. d. Effective Immediately: A "Ladder Scramble" will begin on Saturday's and Sunday's. i. Ladder Teams and Matches will be created by the Ladder Scramble Director. ii. Matches will be played at 1PM. No-Ad Scoring. 10 Point Tie-Breaker in Lieu of a 3rd Set. iii. Winners (remember these new Teams were not yet on the Ladder.) will be placed at the bottom of the Ladder. 1. Winning teams will play 10 point tie-breaker to determine the last and next to the last spot. In the event of 3 or more winning teams a racket toss will determine an "odd team out". The "odd team out" will play the winner of the other two. 2. Winning Teams will report score. 3. Losers will not be placed on the Ladder. 4. Al Damini will be the "Ladder Scramble" Director. 5. If any team/player cannot play in a prearranged scramble, it is the responsibility of that team to contact the opposing team/player to reschedule/cancel this match. 6. The purpose of the scramble is to get all registered league members on our ladder/s that will give them more opportunities to play in the league matches. This should also promote more ladder matches and introduce our new members into our league. 7. From time to time, the Ladder Committee will designate "Newcomer Ladder Matches." Newcomers will be invited to challenge-in during our practice sessions against a current player on the Ladder. 8. Tom Finley has been approved as a "Friend" of our Team. Like Cliff Costelo, Mike McGlinn and Dan McGovern, we are giving him all rights as team members (except playing in USTA Matches). _________________________________________________________________________________________________ Important Notice To Team Members 4/12/04 1. For the next 3 weeks,April 17, 24, and May 1, we are allowing Ladder matches at our 1PM Sat. and Sun. Times. This is to encourage more Ladder Activity.

Please register by this Friday. Be aware that I want to avoid time-consuming follow-up by Frank and me. 3. Frank Cosky, can you be sure that Cliff Costello gets the info.

We have given "Friends" Status to: Mike McGlinn and Dan McGovern and Cliff Costello. This means they have all rights to our regular teammates (except USTA 4.0 League Play). The reason is their better level of play helps our team become better. Stu _______________________________________________________________________________________________ In order to recap our meeting on 4/7/04, I wanted to list the ideas presented to generate an opinion from our teammates. We discussed the following; 1. Everyone please read our mission statement on our website. 2. Everyone who hasn't registered for the team, please do so. In order to play you must be registered. 3.Discussed having a practice/drills prior to our round robin format at 1PM Sat or Sun. If desirable, need imput from teammates on who would attend, which day, what would they like to practice. 4. Use Sat/Sun round robin for latter matches to get all teammates on the ladder and welcome new players. 5. Discussed having a pratice/drills on a specific night (mon-fri). Again, if players are interested, NEED IMPUT. 6. We are looking for players to participate/assist in web design/maintenence/updating etc. We are also looking for players to lead practice/drills. 7. Discussed having regular committee meetings in which all interested players can attend. Currently we are looking for a free committee meeing room available during a week night. 8. Suggested we e-mail a survey/questionaire regarding the items mentioned above to get imput from all our teammates. This would also include any ideas not mentioned above that one would like to discuss. Finally, we would like to welcome all of our new players, and regulars, and wish us a banner season for the coming year.
