Hi all captains,
Firstly, a reminder that nomination forms are due at the meeting on Monday night for all remaining events (Open and Ladies singles, Ladies doubles, Masters, under 21s). All relevant fees must accompany the entry forms (attached below for your convenience). Please note that Monday’s meeting will be at MOOSEHEADS, 7pm start as usual. Keep in mind that they have a dress code, so don’t wander down in your trackies and thongs please!
Also, there has been a date change for the open singles ‘knockout’ event, to be held for the first time this year instead of the traditional top 4 playoff. The change is simply to bring this event forward to be after the weekend of the top 16 playoff. So, instead of the knockout event being held on 6/7 August, it will be held on 23/24 July.
The thinking behind the initial timing was to have the knockout event closer to the national championships, to provide better practice for those in the state team. However, upon reflection it was thought that the break would not be beneficial to those competing, and the nationals was more than 2 months later anyway! Anyone that can win the title after the top 16 weekend and then the playoffs the following weekend will truly deserve the crown of state champion 2011!
Please pass this information on to your teams, and if there are any strenuous objections to this date change, please bring those objections to the committee meeting on Monday, which is at MOOSEHEADS.
