Dear Tabletenniser’s,

   I’m impressed at our growing attendance , this week keeping up the pace with 83 competitors… oddly enough we had no new sign-ups(we average around five a week)

And special thanks to Dave Sterner for doing a great job as tournament director this week. We still need at least one other person to step up and run the tournament perhaps once a month.. Then my load will feel lightened as it was tonight. Please consider how much you will be helping the club you’ve come to enjoy time after time. I will teach you all you need to know, but you must be good on a computer to easily master this task.

     Parry Husbands again conquers division one seemingly easily 5-0….Randy Hong edges out division two 4-1

Don’t Forget the BTTC CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP ON FRIDAY OCTOBER 19

 Most Importantly I want to remind all of you who did enter

YOU MUST ARRIVE EARLY!

We will have special starting times, pay attention to these details…the club will open at 5:45 for set-up and warm-up and close at 10:15 (last game at 9:55) so we will have a little extra time. Player Meeting at 6:15 Sharp!

The first Matches will begin at 6:30

The players meeting will be to discuss tie-breaking rules and any other special considerations for this tourney.

ENTRANTS MUST BE READY TO START ON TIME OR RISK DEFAULT

ALL 70 spots in the Club Championship are filled.

I will take limited waiting list entries. Who then must show up even though they may not play

If for any reason you need to cancel please tell me in advance.

Regarding Messages on the late-call line

Please leave a quick clear understandable message! There are often 20 messages and it takes a long time receiving them especially when we hear your entire life story why and how you’re late….JUST STICK TO THE ESSENTIALS>>>YOUR NAME SAID VERY CLEAR!

On our Regular Nights…..

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. Please spread the word, IF YOU ARE LATE OR WE CANNOT UNDERSTAND YOUR LATE MESSAGE >> YOU WILL NOT PLAY THAT NIGHT!  I will close the entries if we have 97 people, so please arrive early!!!

Regards Mike Labins
