Hello everyone!
Gym locations for the second tournament of the year have been posted. You can see them on the right hand side of the screen there.
Be sure to be there and ready to start at 9am SHARP. We only have the gyms for a limited amount of time and need to finish by that time so that we can have the finals and playoffs and all that jazz. Starting this month, if you’re not there in time and your team is scheduled to start, your team may be penalized.
Notice to teams about cheques. If you haven’t gotten your cheques in yet, please do so now, as you need to have your cheques to ensure your team a spot in the tournament. Also, some teams only sent in $66 for the February tournament. It is the annual “charity” tournament, and costs $100 to enter a team. Teams who didn’t send in enough will be notified by their court reps at this coming tournament. Sarah Maguire is taking on these responsibilities, and you can find her contact information on the Contacts page.
Teams who cancel after Wednesday night at 8pm will unfortunately lose their cheques. This is to prevent tournaments where we do not have any teams show up. The dates are all posted here on the website, they are always the first Saturday of the month (barring Holidays), so there should be no excuse to pull a team out before that. Cancellations should also be directed to Sarah Maguire.
There will be the usual party in November after that months tournament. More details will be announced in the coming weeks concerning the party.
New Rule: In an even more fun announcement, we are all about adopting change here at CVNS, and as such we are going to make a change to our rules. Starting this tournament if you touch the net anywhere that isn’t the tape and it does not interfere with play, it will no longer be a net foul. Hitting the tape and going under the net will still be called however as a matter of safety. Please be patient with our “referees” as we adopt this change.
