📢 TOURNAMENT CLUB ANNOUNCEMENT | EFFECTIVE SEPTEMBER 26
As I take the next three weeks off to spend time visiting my daughter, I want to take this opportunity to announce several important changes that will go into effect when I return on September 26th.
With our snowbirds beginning to trickle back and participation increasing, it is important that we maintain a fair, organized, and competitive environment for everyone.
1. DUPR Registration Requirements
All players must register in their exact DUPR rating division.
I will have complete control over approving any player who is permitted to play up into a higher division. Please do not register yourself in a higher division without prior approval. All moves will be made by me the day of the tournament.
2. Stacking Rules & Positioning
I have noticed an increasing number of teams stacking in incorrect positions, particularly over the past few weeks.
Effective September 26th, the following penalties will apply:
• If a team is stacked in an incorrect position at the start of a point, that team will be assessed a 1-point penalty.
• A second stacking/positioning infraction during the same game will result in the team forfeiting that game.
Please do not stack unless both players fully understand the stacking strategy and the correct positioning requirements. If there is any doubt, play in the standard formation.
3. Withdrawals Within 24 Hours
If you need to withdraw from a tournament within 24 hours of the scheduled start time, you must text me directly at 860-796-5260 and explain the reason for your withdrawal.
Failure to provide an explanation may result in a suspension from future Tournament Club events.
These changes are being implemented to keep our tournaments fair, competitive, and enjoyable for everyone as our club continues to grow.
Thank you all for your cooperation and for helping make Tournament Club one of the best pickleball groups around!
See everyone on September 26th!
