Dear Tabletenniser’s,

 Happy holidays to everyone…a ho ho happy 59 players competed at our round robin this week…

Mattias Eriksson edges out Parry Husbands and Mike Lee on tie break as they each lost one match in the top

Division…

The Executive Committee has overwhelmingly (11-2) approved my recommendation to raise fees $1 across the board.

This will be effective as of Jan 1, 2007 Adults will be charged $4, Juniors(16 and under) $2 .

This is the only increase in many ,many years ,and was suggested because of increased cost of supplies and to be able to try to build our reserves.

The extra $1 in junior fees will directly benefit the juniors.50 cents of that dollar will be set aside for future junior events and subsidies

CONGRATS!       To view the RR results go to www.berkeleytabletennis.org  Please report any errors or omissions ASAP.I cannot change the posted result but will make the rating adjustments.

Courtesy Reminder!   Please do not retrieve a ball from your game when it rolls to another table  or walk behind during another player’s active point play…this is distracting causing one player a serious disadvantage.

People need to be vigilant about this as it happens way too often….Just wait a few seconds for the point to be completed and say “LET!” Thanks for your consideration!

Also one other Reminder: To participate, you need to show up no later than 6:50 PM OR call the Cell Phone Reservation Number:  (510) 587-3388 before 6:35 PM. If you call this latecomer's number, please make sure to pronounce your first AND last name clearly. For non-native English speakers it is recommended to repeat their full name at least twice. We do not guarantee spots in our Round Robin tournament to latecomers who only left undecipherable messages.

Practice Gives you an Edge!

 

Regards, Mike Labins.
