Kilsyth Senior/Junior Open - IMPORTANT INFORMATION - REGISTRATION LIST ATTACHED
Published Mon 06 Nov 2017
Please find details from event organisers for the Kilsyth Senior/Junior Open this weekend
Hi All
We would just like to thank everyone who has entered this tournament. We expected to get somewhere between 60-80 entries, but we were super impressed to have reached 130 entries.
We have included with this email a list of all players, how much they owe and what events they have entered. We have cancelled several events, which are
O50 Women's Singles, O60 Women's Singles, O70 Men's Singles, O70 Women's Singles.
The players who were in these events have been moved to another event to compensate.
With payment, we ask that you bring the exact money, in cash. No change will be given. We have a volunteer who will be collecting money from 8.30am. Please ensure upon arrival the first thing you do is to pay the outstanding amount. We would much rather not be chasing players throughout the day.
As been advised on the entry form, we will be having a minute's silence at 11am to commemorate Remembrance Day. We will be stopping a few minutes prior to this at approx 10.57am. All matches shall stop (or at least finish off the point that's in play) regardless of the score (so even at 10/9 in deciding game).
Due to the high numbers, the 10am time slot we have much more groups than actual tables available. So we need to change some event starting times.
- Under 9 singles groups - moved from 9am to 12 midday.
- Under 13 singles groups - moved from 9am to 11am
- Over 30 singles groups - moved from 10am to 9am
We also wish for all scores of matches to be updated as soon as a match finishes, and not when all three matches in the round robin has been completed. So as soon as you shake your opponents hand to conclude a match, that match sheet must be brought back to control office so the scores can be updated.
We have asked Croydon players from our Junior comp (who are not playing) to volunteer their time and assist. If we can get some helpers, these juniors, will be the people you will give the match sheet to and they will run it back for you.
Please ensure all matches start quickly, match sheets are brought back immediately, otherwise it will be a very late finish.
We do not think we can emphasize it enough the need to come promptly when called to play, to get your matches started and to return quickly the finished match sheets.
The Event Draws will most likely be published on Wednesday on TTV website, Croydon Website and Facebook pages.
Due to the high number of players and busy schedule, we shall not be allowing people breaks for them to eat, you will need to work around the busy schedule as best you can.
Also, if you sent an email in on behalf of someone else, please ensure that toy pass this message to them as well.
