10/09/09 : Derby & District TTA League Update

All players should note the following changes to the D&DTTA league.

I've been informed that Sandiacre TTC has folded, resulting in the following changes :-

Sandiacre 1 - Have resigned from the league.

Sandiacre 2 - Will play at Sawley as Sawley 3.

Sandiacre 3 - Will play at Waingroves as Waingroves 1.

Net result, 1 team lost to the league.

Today I received a call from John Grace informing me that Waingroves 2 will not be playing in the league ( due to changing work commitment for 2 of their players ).

We now have a total of 41 teams registered - Prem 10, Div1 10, Div2 11, Div3 10.

These changes arrived too late for the handbook, so players are reminded to use the website for all the up to date information.

29/08/09 : Derby & District TTA Delegates Meeting 17/09/09

The 2009 Delegates meeting will be held on Thur 17th Sep 19:30 at Rolls Royce in the Clubroom (which is located round the back (in the corner) near the large bowling green).

All clubs are expected to send at least one rep to the meeting, where the league fees should be paid. The hand books for the new season will be distributed. Table tennis balls can also be purchased from Bill Taylor at a very reasonable price.

29/05/09 : Rule changes for 2009/10

3 rule changes were presented at last night's AGM (28th May) as detailed below. All 3 changes were passed.

Changes to Rules are marked in red/ purple

( Proposed by the Management Committee ) Rule 24

a) Re-arrangement of matches may be made by mutual agreement of the team captains but not in the 72 hours before the scheduled start of the match. After that the match will go ahead with each team either players playing up from a lower ranked team in their club or playing with less than three players. If no agreement is reached the club not in default shall be awarded the matches, subject to confirmation by the Management Committee after consideration of any special circumstances.

A team may seek to rearrange up to a maximum of three matches in any one season. For teams whose home venue is on School premises an extra two re-arrangements will be allowed provided the additional re-arrangements are consequent of the home team’s school venue not being available.

b) Following the final week of league matches teams have two weeks to complete outstanding matches.

( Proposed by Frank Taylor and John Cowell ) Rule 19

Scoring. Points shall be awarded in each match as follows: 3 points for any win, 2 points each team for a draw 5-5: 1 point for a team losing 4-6 or 3-7: no points for a team losing 2-8, 1-9 and 0-10.

( Proposed by L Allwood and Jon Bayliss ) Rule 17

System of play. Each team shall consist of three players (a,b,c) who will be nominated to play the nine singles, a fourth player (d) may be nominated at the start of the match to play in the doubles.

30/03/09 : 2009 Derby Closed Championships

The Derby Association staged the Derby Closed championships at the Draycott Table Tennis Centre on Sunday 29th March.

A report of the days play ( by Graham Woodcock ) can be found on the Tournaments link

17/03/09 : 2009 City of Derby & Jarvis Sports 4 Star Junior Open ( report by Mike Payne )

The Derby Association staged the Derby 4* Junior tournament at the weekend, with players entering from the Home Countries and the Channel Islands. Local player Abbie Milwain (Chellaston School and the Draycott club) was seeded to meet the No1 seed Emily Bates from Grantham in the semi finals of the Cadet (Under 15) event. Abbie made it there after the group session and then 2 knockout rounds. She started slowly in the semi but came back taking the 3rd game to 6 but couldn't maintain the pressure and lost the final game 11-6. As a measure of distance between the 2 players, Emily is ranked 3rd, with Abbie at 19 in England which is no mean achievement.

On Sunday Abbie was not seeded in the Junior (Under 18) event but still won through to the quarter final where she lost to the 3rd seed Yolanda King (Sussex).
