El Captain
The league schedule for the upcoming season has been published, and the link was sent via email Let me know if you have any trouble with it. Please put an x under your name for all matches you'll be able to play, as soon as you know, and 'out' for the ones you can't. This is what I'll be using to make the lineups, replacing the email inquiries about who can play each match. I will try to send out the lineup for each match by Weds., and I'd like to resume the custom of the Friday check-in for the players in the line-up.
We only have 7 matches, with 3 being at our new home RTC. You'll notice that our home match times and days vary- this is what we were able to get.
Thanks everybody who has registered. Still waiting on Dave Roberts (hope you're doing well and ready to rock n roll!), and our new recruit Michael Powell. I hope you guys will be joining us! By the way, Mark Noethen's old team is reforming somewhere, and he'll be playing with them.
Before I forget, I want to mention a new USTA rule that has taken effect this year regarding changing a call, which is bound to cause controversy. Here is the text from the rules:
Out calls reversed. A player who calls a ball out shall reverse the call if the
player becomes uncertain or realizes that the ball was good. The point goes to the
opponent and is not replayed. However, when a receiver reverses a fault call on a
serve that hit the net, the server is entitled to two serves.
Lastly, If possible I'm hoping we can all get in one final practice session this saturday before our first match, which is saturday 3/19 at Mariposa.
TIME TO OPEN THE CAN
