[gvttc general] GVTTC - Week 2 Tryout Results / Update / New Rules

[Marc Maronian]

Hello everyone,

 

Last night we completed our second round of tryouts for this year's classic
league.  We had some intense matches.  One group had a 3-way tie that came
down to points to determine the top 2 spots.  With that said, we have our 8
spots filled.

 

Congratulations to the following who have made the cut.

 

Adam Johnson

Ishaq Kothari

Jacob Shmois

Kevin Johnson

Pruthvik Ar

Randy Bittner

Ta-Min Chang

Vadim Feygin

 

If you see any of these individuals please congratulate them.

What's Next?

-          Next Tuesday (9/24) all the one men will gather and we will
select teams using a draft.

-          Feel free to come and PRACTICE as all tables will be available
for open play.

-          League play begins on 10/1.  I will work on generating all teams,
schedule, and updating the website as soon as we have our teams drafted.  It
will all be posted on the GVTTC website and I will communicate that when it
is ready.

-          2019/2020 league rules are here:  If you are a new classic league
member, PLEASE take a moment to read the rules here; especially on how to
find your own SUB should you need to miss a week.  You are responsible for
finding your own subs.  Everyone else, please take a moment to see below on
the new rule on lets, start time and how doubles should be treated.

 

League Rules

1 - New Let Rule

 

16) Let Rule - A ball rolling behind you during a point is not a let. It may
be a

reason to wait before beginning a point. If the ball behind you is truly
distracting,

your opponent can offer you a let but it is their decision to honor the let
or not. If

a ball rolls between you and the table during a point, that is considered a
let and

the point should be played over. A ball or adjacent player that interferes
with

your ability to play the shot is a let. A let may not be called after the
point has

been played. Seeing a ball off to the side of a table is not a let. If a
ball hits you

during a point, that is a let.

 

2 - Start Time and Doubles

 

2) ALL matches must complete by 10 PM. Team league matches may begin at

6:15 PM. Ladder matches may begin at 6:00 PM. All league matches must begin

by 6:15 - mandatory. All players must be in the building by 7:15 PM for team

matches. All players who are NOT in the building by 7:15 PM may default
their

peer match at their opponent's discretion. After that, all matches will be
defaulted

by 7:45 PM, at the opponent's discretion. If there are TWO remaining matches
at

9:15 PM, they must be played as 3 out of 5. If there is ONE remaining match
at

9:30, it must be played as 3 out of 5. Any unfinished matches at end of
evening

will be decided by the majority of games won (even if it's 1-0!) when play
stops. If

players are, for example, at 2-2 in games, the win goes to the player who
first

reached a majority of odd number of games (in this example, 2-1). Doubles

should be considered to be the last match of the evening.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions.

 

Thank you,

Marc Maronian

GVTTC Classic League Director
