Notes
NEW SCHEDULE
If it says Saturday 11/26 please take that as Saturday 12/3.
Thank you.
1045 AM WEATHER UPDATE
It is raining again and forecast shows consistent rain throughout
the day. PLAY IS CANCELLED for the day and we will have to
reschedule for next weekend (12/3 or 12/4). Please email me if you
are registered for another tournament so I can work around the
time.
10AM WEATHER UPDATE
Draws have been re-updated with new times. This is the last attempt
to dry courts and reschedule for this weekend. Please check in 15
minutes prior to the posted draw time unless you would like to come
earlier and help dry courts. Please check here before you leave
your house.
8AM WEATHER UPDATE
I have updated the draw for new times today. Check in 15 minutes
before your match. If it rains before this time, I will reschedule
for another weekend so we don't sit around all day for stop and
go.
I'd like to get at least all semifinal matches done today.
There is forecast for rain again so make sure that you check back
here for updates.
Happy Thanksgiving from ECCTA!
Come join our 2nd Annual Turkey Tournament!
CODE OF CONDUCT FOR PARENTS, COACHES, AND
SPECTATORSA tournament tennis match is between the players
on the court. No one else other than an official may go onto the
court or become involved in any way in the match. ** Any person
associated with a player has an obligation to encourage and
maintain high standards of proper conduct, fair play, and good
sportsmanship. He/she must avoid acts that may be considered
detrimental to the game of tennis. ** No conversation is allowed
between the players on the court and anyone other than an official.
Parents, coaches and spectators may offer encouragement to their
player, such as clapping or saying "Good shot." Advice such as
"Move your feet", "Stay focused", or "Settle down", or speaking to
your player in any language other than English, may be interpreted
as coaching. The only exception to conversing with your player is
to ask the score on a changeover. This must be done in a loud
enough voice that no one would construe it as coaching. * **
Applauding an opponent's double fault or unforced error is always
inappropriate. * ** Coaching is permitted during the ten-minute
rest period after the second set, or during a rain delay when the
official allows the players to leave the court. ** Coaching is not
allowed during the warm-up, during the match, or during a
suspension or interruption of play, except during an authorized
rest period. Coaching is not permitted when a player takes a
medical time-out, a toilet break, or seeks the assistance of an
official. If a player accepts coaching at an unauthorized time, the
player will be subject to the Point Penalty System. ** Only the
players or an official may make a call during a match. No one else
may become involved in making calls or settling disputes. Only the
player may request the help of an official. * ** An official may
enter the playing area at any time, whether or not a request is
made by any player. * ** As stated in Friend at Court (FAC), a
player may only leave the court area with the permission of an
official. If an official cannot be found, a player may leave the
court area to find an official. ** No person shall abuse any
official or player. An official who observes such conduct may
suspend play and warn the person to stop the offensive behavior. If
the offensive behavior continues, the person may be asked to leave
the area. If he/she refuses, the player may be penalized under the
Point Penalty System, which could result in a default of the match.
** Your player's court is just one of many that you must be aware
of when talking or cheering. Please be courteous to those playing
matches on other courts. Young people learn from watching adults.
At the tournament site, it is your responsibility to set a good
example for your player by modeling good sportsmanship, ethical
behavior and self-control at all times. You must abide by the above
