Newsletter #10

Hello everybody



We got a little taste of what this session is going to be like. Seven matches went to three sets this week. Just by looking at the scores we had some very competitive matches. Some of you worked very hard on arranging your matches past week, 4 of you had to take an extension . Just to remind everyone , players are allowed 2 extensions per a single session. We ended up completing 14 matches this week. You can check out the latest scores and standings at www.rochestertennisleague.webs.com


As always, I recommend contacting your opponents early in the week so you both have enough time to set it up. We have phone numbers listed for some people so you can try calling your opponents if they don't respond through e mail. I think most players are very good at communicating effectively and that is one of the main reasons this league has been successful.


If you have trouble getting a hold of your opponent please let me know. I want to know who is lagging behind and if we can fix this. For example if someone is slow replying to e mails we might only list their phone number on the web site.



I am getting some great feedback from you this season, and I am glad that everyone is having good time playing tennis this summer. It is very rewarding to see that often a few league matches are going at the same time at Soldier's field or JM courts. My goal has always been to connect tennis players in Rochester area so we can all play regularly and with different opponents. It has been working great so far.

Forum
After initially some of us used the forum feature on our site , the activity has slowed down. I haven't noticed any posts in last month, so I just wanted to remind everyone that it is still there. Main goal of the forum was to post comments, suggestions, use it for setting up practice matches, and anything else related to the league and sport of tennis. It is very easy to use, no need to sign up for it. You can check it out at http://rochestertennisleagu.forumotion.net/
