Line Calls
The issue of line calls has again been brought to the Executive Committee's attention.
We would like to restate the following:-
- Each player is responsible for all decisions in her half of the Court. She should be completely honest on all "calls". You should not play a let.
- Do not cross the net, unless asked/allowed by your opposition, to check a ball mark. This should only happen for matches played on en-tout-cas surfaces.
- If in doubt, it's not out.
- If unsure, call is in favour of the opposition.
- Do not call a ball out until it has actually bounced.
- If a ball is called out and you realise that the ball was in, correct your call immediately and give the point to your opposition.
We also understand that honest mistakes in calling are occasionally made and we ask that team members correct other team members, if required and opposition players accept decisions without argument.
The Executive Committee encourages matches to be played with the highest level of sportsmanlike values which enables all players to enjoy our Tuesday competition.
Correct Footwear
Please respect the requirements a club may have for correct footwear. Shoes that are suitable for hard surfaces, synthetic grass and synthetic clay may not be suitable for porous courts. Just because the salesperson in the shoe shop tells you that the shoes are suitable for 'all' surfaces does not mean that they will be suitable for porous courts. Read more
