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.

There was a surge of interest in the BTTC t-shirts this week and I now have a fresh batch in stock. They’re only $12 each.. a high quality T-shirt with your club name on it. What a DEAL!

We are getting better about the courtesy of other players, but there still needs more reinforcing this idea as people forget….it seems I cannot remind people enough!

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!

PLEASE DO NOT FORGET TO ARRIVE EARLY! REGISTRATION CLOSES AT 6:50 SHARP! If you are planning to be late then 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 or people who misuse this line and do not show up to play.

Keep your eye on the Ball!

 

Regards, Mike Labins
