Area Competitors Shine in 2008 Mason Dr. Pepper Open
(Thanks to Charlie Herrington for the news)
At least eight Marble Falls & Burnet players placed first or second in the popular Dr. Pepper Open held in Mason July 17-20, 2008. I'm relying on Charlie's memory here.
Jim Cornelius won the mens 45 singles, beating Scott Kilpatrick, who placed second. Lana Thomas won the girls 18 singles. Laura Servise won the girls 16 singles (and more; see below).
In doubles, Jo Lynn & Greg Dyer won the 35 mixed. Greg & Kyle Futrell placed second in the 35 mens. Laura Servise and her partner won the 18 mixed. Kyleigh Ann Futrell, fresh from making champs in Waco, placed second in the girls 16 doubles. (I don't know who the girls' partners were.)
If someone has more information about the matches, or has photos, email them to me before July 26 and I'll add to this post.
Jo Lynn Dyer, Harrison Place Second in Major Zone
Greg no slouch, either
The Meadowlakes team of Jo Lynn Dyer and Jennifer Harrison won second place in the 3.5 doubles at the 2008 Alamo City Major Zone a couple of weeks ago in San Antonio. They lost to the #1 seeds in the finals. The draw was large and the competition was good. This is the best finish these two have had at a major zone tourney since they have been playing together. They will play in the Texas Sectional Tourney in September.
Dyer and Harrison defeated Dorothea Rogillio of Trinity & Huntsville's Tanya Rose 6-4, 6-4 in the quarterfinals, won a tough 3-setter in the semis 6-3, 0-6, 7-5 against Wendy Durham & Cynthia Hardy of Palestine and Austin, and finally went down to Corpus Christi's Ida Brazell & Martha Moon 3-6, 2-3 Ret. (ill). All their opponents in the final three matches were highly seeded (as were Jo Lynn & Jennifer: no. 2).
Dyer's husband, Greg, and Austin partner Greg Gold, number 1 seeds in the 4.5 doubles, made it to the semifinals before losing to Guillermo Martin del Campo (Brownsville) & Alfonso Rodriguez (McAllen) 6-4, 7-6 (7). They defeated Paul Cass (Corpus Christi) & Dennis Reblin (San Antonio) 6-4, 2-6, 7-5 in the quarterfinals.
ATP Pros Coming to HSB Clay for Prelude to Tennis Benefit
Bryan Brothers, Sam Querrey, John Isner to practice in Horseshoe Bay
Tim Stallard and his ProLink sports entertainment group are once again bringing top professionals to Horseshoe Bay, this time the week after the 2008 U.S. Open, as a warm-up for his Tennis Classic of Austin. The Classic will be held Thursday, September 11th at 6:00pm at Lakeway World of Tennis, and support the Children of Fallen Soldiers Organization.
Their several days in Horseshoe Bay will give everyone a chance to see top professional players up close, and will include a Resort members' social event and meet-&-greet.
The Tennis Classic of Austin, Stallard's personal event among the many he coordinates around the country (including, this year, the annual Elton John & Billie Jean King AIDS benefit in Atlanta), will support the Children of Fallen Soldiers Organization (www.childrenoffallensoldiers.com).
Here's the entire press release, as supplied by Tim:
AMERICAN TENNIS STARS TO PLAY IN AUSTIN TO BENEFIT CHILDREN OF FALLEN SOLDIERS
World's No. 1 Bryan Brothers to Participate in 9/11 Event
Tickets Available to the Public Starting July 26th
AUSTIN, TX (July 16, 2008): The world's No. 1 doubles team, Bob and Mike Bryan, and ATP Tour Stars John Isner and Sam Querrey will headline the Tennis Classic of Austin on Thursday, September 11th at 6:00pm at Lakeway World of Tennis (1 World of Tennis Square, Austin, TX) benefiting the Children of Fallen Soldiers Organization.
The Bryan Brothers will come straight from the US Open in New York to Central Texas and then go on to Madrid for the Davis Cup showdown with Rafael Nadal and the Spanish Davis Cup team. The Bryan brothers have won the US Open, Wimbledon, French Open and the Australian Open, and last year led the US team to the Davis Cup Title. The Bryans will also be the top seeds to capture the Gold Medal for the USA in the Summer Olympic Games.
"It is always an honor to represent our country in Davis Cup, the Olympics or at a Grand Slam and we are very aware of those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country and our freedom," says Mike Bryan. He adds, "I know that Bob, Sam, John and I are excited to come to Texas and to help create awareness and support for the Children of Fallen Soldiers Organization."
ATP tennis star John Isner turned pro in June 2007 after graduating from the University of Georgia, where he was a four time All American. At the 2007 ATP event in Washington, DC, he reached the finals with wins over Tim Henman and Tommy Haas before falling to Andy Roddick 7-5, 6-4. While firing a non-Grand-Slam tournament record 144 aces, Isner went on to the US Open, reaching the 3rd round and winning the first set from Roger Federer in Arthur Ashe Stadium.
American Sam Querrey staked his claim as one of the top players in the world last year when he defeated No. 10 James Blake to advance to the ATP semifinal at the 2007 US Open Series Indianapolis Tennis Championships. In his win over James Blake, Sam fired a career high 36 aces, including a record 10 in a row. In 2008, Sam captured an ATP title at the Tennis Channel Open in Las Vegas, and reached the quarterfinals of the 2008 Monte Carlo Masters Series Event. Querrey was recently named to the US Olympic Team and has been member of US Davis Cup team.
The official charity for the Tennis Classic of Austin is Children of Fallen Soldiers. The project is designed to finance college educations for children of soldiers killed in the War on Terror. So far, 15 children who lost a parent in the line of duty have been identified. All these soldiers were from Ft. Hood and their families still reside in the area. The goal of Children of Fallen Soldiers is to provide each child with a $25,000 college fund when he or she turns 18.
You can learn more about the Children of Fallen Soldiers at www.childrenoffallensoldiers.com .
Dennis McWilliams, sports director of The Hills Country Club says, "We are excited to welcome these young Americans and world class tennis back to the Lakeway World of Tennis." He adds, "This will be a wonderful evening of tennis and family entertainment and will support a great cause. Fans will get a chance to see the best in men's tennis in a very intimate setting."
This classic is proudly sponsored by The United States Tennis Association (USTA), H-E-B, KTBC-TV/FOX 7, KLBJ-AM, BOB-FM, New Mexico Sports Authority, and Beaumont Convention & Visitors Bureau.
Tickets are available on-line starting July 26th through www.etix.com or by calling (800)-514-etix (3849). Ticket prices are $25.00, $35.00 and $50.00.

New Hard Courts at HSB Tennis Center
The HSB Tennis Center's four new hard courts, beside the Andy Roddick Kids' Courts, are finished and scheduled to open the weekend of July 26, 2008. They look great, with excellent windscreens, lights, shaded benches, and a chain-link divider to prevent errant balls from giving us more exercise than we really want on a hot day. They're US-Open-blue, which means you'll be able to see the ball when ESPN televises our next tournament.
The courts are another step in the major renovation and improvement of the Tennis Center property. Watch for demolition of the old hard courts and groundbreaking beside the new ones, to make room for the new spa and exercise facilities. No one likes to play next to a construction site, but the end result should be spectacular.
In the meantime, sign up for lessons from Aland and Michelle. You're gonna need them when Elise and I return from vacation.
Video Analysis to Add to HSB Tennis Center Lessons
Michelle Stallard and Aland Price have a new trick up their sleeves to enhance progress for both adult and juniors who participate in their HSB Tennis Center lessons. Instant video of students' play can show -- and set the stage to improve -- swing, court movement, body positioning, and more. "Feel" alone is not enough, or not efficient enough, for many players. We listen hard and try to understand what we're doing wrong, but it's impossible to see what the coach sees, and visualize what we need to change. On-court video changes all that.
Kids' Program Opens for Roddick Foundation & Boys & Girls Club

Happy Kid
Last Tuesday, June 17, 2008, hundreds of members of the media (well, several anyway) came to watch the very first day of the Andy Roddick Foundation/Boys & Girls Club youth tennis program for the Marble Falls and Highland Lakes area. The program, which is also available in some other Texas cities and one Idaho location, works with additional funding from the Rene Lacoste Foundation and USTA to combine tennis instruction with mentoring for college and special nutritional counseling to deal with childhood obesity and diabetes.
Mark Moran and john Arthur martinez worked with groups of kids (who were provided with new, kid-sized racquets) as cameras clicked and pens scratched on reporters' notepads. Dr. Lawrence Roddick, Director of Andy Roddick Youth Tennis Programs, was there for the opening. He brought a racquet used by Andy in his US Open win, which will be donated for an auction or raffle to boost funding for the Andy Roddick Foundation International Tennis Center, planned for the CastleRock Texas development on RR 2147.
Site plans for the International Tennis Center show 17 courts (three indoors), with a retractable roof and very "green" building practices. Although open to the community, the Foundation programs will focus on disadvantaged youth, "teach(ing) children to be not only better tennis players, but better citizens of the world." Local and regional Tennis Center Advisory Board members include Sol Castillo (USTA Texas), Carol Welder (USTA Texas & CATA), Dave Holder (director of fundraising), Marley Porter (CastleRock developer & lead architect), john Arthur martinez (well-known country singer, fine player & CastleRock director of creative marketing), Gil Reyes (Adidas coaching team & former Agassi trainer), and Dr. Lawrence Roddick. Andy Roddick Foundation Honorary Board Members include Sir Elton John, professional golfer Ben Crenshaw, extraordinary cyclist and health activist Lance Armstrong, Violinist and Dave Matthews Band member Boyd Tinsley, and Andy's agent, Ken Myerson.
Expect to see announcements of International Tennis Center fundraisers and donation opportunities soon. For more information, or to volunteer for the kids' program, contact the Andy Roddick Foundation International Tennis Center at CastleRock Texas, 4401 Cottonwood Drive, Cottonwood, TX 78657. Phone (830) 798-9310. Fax (830) 798-9304. Email john Arthur martinez or Dave Holder. If the spirit really moves you and you wish to donate to the International Tennis Center fund right away, make your check out to the Andy Roddick Foundation, be sure to write "CastleRock" on the front of the check, and mail it to either the Foundation or CastleRock. Every little bit helps.

Happy Kids' Racquets
Hidden Falls (Formerly Meadowlakes) Getting New Courts
Charlie Herrington, tennis pro at Marble Falls's Hidden Falls Country Club, is looking forward to the coming resurfacing of four hard courts at the former Meadowlakes facility. Although a couple of the current courts will be lost to some club renovation, within a few months there should be four excellent courts to replace the badly cracked (and sometimes moisture-weeping) surfaces, and new fencing as well.
As most readers know, use of the Hidden Falls courts is by membership or fee (unless you're taking a lesson from Charlie). The new courts will be an incentive to join the very reasonably-priced club.
Who knows; they might add some shade to the tennis sitting area and upgrade the storage shed, too. A few new members who express their tennis interest might help.
Former HSB Player & Current Booster Turns 90
Here she is, with great granddaughter Grace Reid, who came all the way from Denver to be with Lucile Reid Brock on her 90th birthday. Lots of tennis friends were among the partygoers at Quail Point on June 7, 2008, honoring Mom, who still really enjoys the HSB tennis luncheons.

Blount, Hawkins Succeed in Westwood Tourney
Jim Hawkins and Gil Blount made it to the consolation finals, and Gil was in the consolation singles finals, of the State Seniors championships held May 23-25, 2008, at Austin's Westwood Country Club. They finally fell to the number two tournament seeds. To get to there, Gil & Jim bested a team in the semifinals (in three sets) that they hadn't previously beaten. Gil, also, had a semifinal 3-set victory against a player he hadn't beaten before. They credit their ability to survive and thrive in the hot, humid conditions to vigorous play with other HSB and area competitors.
It's nice to have such humble models of tennis excellence.
MFCTA Saturday Summer Schedule, 2008
Here is the preliminary (May 21, 2008) doubles schedule and general rules. Dick will get a more solid schedule out as soon as he can. Call of email Dick if you need to make changes to the overall schedule (but not for week-to-week problems).
All play is on Saturdays May 24 - August 9, 8:30AM, Marble Falls High School courts
From Dick Hollenbeck: The two weeks of experimentation and recruiting allowed us to find a fun mode of play:
We will play king-of-the-hill, 5 to 6 mini-sets per morning, as we did Saturday, May 17. This is no-add, first-team-to-6-wins triggers wholesale rotation of all courts, no need to win by 2 games." Typically this is 15-20 minutes per mini-set, and the most lopsided set dictates the timing of rotation for all courts. So the king of the hill mechanism gets lots of rotations and within two to three mini-sets like this, you will be playing with folks at your ability level, and will never get stuck playing with or against someone that you do not prefer for a very long time. There is no waiting around for another set to finish.
Court 4 is left open for walk-ons. This will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Those that are scheduled will have priority and will not be expected to sit out any sets for folks that walk on. Those that walk on first will normally choose to play all sets, especially if they drove from afar, but can choose to share their slot if they want. Be there early if you want firm walk on status for that fourth court.Players

Andy Roddick Foundation Launches Hill Country Youth Tennis Program
In a Castle Rock press release dated May 1, 2008, Dave Holder wrote that Dr. Lawrence Roddick, Director of Youth Programs for the Andy Roddick Foundation (ARF), has just announced the launch of the foundation's first tennis programs in the Texas Hill Country. The programs are in cooperation with the Boys and Girls Club of the Highland Lakes, and will begin June 2, 2008, at the Marble Falls Middle School courts. The Andy Roddick Youth Tennis Program developed in September, 2007, from the vision of Rene Lacoste, the experience of the Roddick family, and financial support from the Rene Lacoste Foundation, the USTA Tennis & Education Foundation, and the ARF. With the launch of these programs, ARF begins the fundraising campaign to build the Andy Roddick Foundation International Tennis Center at CastleRock Texas in Cottonwood Shores.
"I am in a position to make a difference, and feel a certain responsibility to make one of my goals contributing positively to my communities," said Andy Roddick, founder of ARF. "By helping at-risk and underprivileged children through my foundation, we can make this goal a reality."
After turning professional in 2000, it took Andy only one year to turn his sights off the court and onto his community. In 2001, he began the Andy Roddick Foundation, a charity dedicated to "Helping Children Today for Tomorrow." The goal of the foundation is to improve the quality of life and enhance educational and economic opportunities for all children based on the principles of respect for family, education and morality.
The programs will focus on children 6 to 10 years old and will be led by husband-wife team Mark and Julie Moran of Marble Falls. Mark currently coaches the Marble Falls Middle School tennis teams. Julie, a former collegiate competitor and a certified teacher, will assist Mark in the summer programs and then assume the reigns in the fall.
The Boys and Girls Club offers programs and services that promote and enhance the development of boys and girls by instilling a sense of competence, usefulness, belonging and influence. The Boys and Girls Club of the Highland Lakes is now nearly 1,000 members strong and offers a safe place for youth to learn and grow while having fun.
"It is so important to employ a wide variety of activities to inspire and motivate such a huge variety of young personalities! Tennis is a sport that can be incorporated for the rest of their lives regardless of economic status. It will significantly improve the physical health of some children," said Deedy Atkins, Boys & Girls Club Unit Director.
John Racz, Board of Directors and Resource and Development Chairman added, "The summer tennis program fits in beautifully with our current goals and programs."
Dr. Ryder Warren, Superintendent of M.F.I.S.D., commented that "The Marble Falls School District gladly offers the middle school facilities for such a worthwhile endeavor."
To sign up for the ARF summer tennis programs contact: The Boys and Girls Club of the Highland Lakes at (830) 798-2582. Participant registration for current Boys and Girls Club members will be held May 5-9, 2008, at the Boys and Girls Club facility at 1701 Broadway Street in Marble Falls. Nonmembers will register May 12-16.
For more information concerning the fundraising campaign for the Andy Roddick Foundation International Tennis Center please contact john Arthur martinez, jam@281.com or Dave Holder, davecars@zeecon.com, (830) 598-5950.
Herrington, Bicknell Win in San Antonio
Congratulations to Nancy Herrington and her Lampasas Partner, Cheryl Bicknell, who won the women's 3.5 doubles division of the April 11-13, 2008, Gunn Lone Star Levels Tournament in San Antonio defeating San Antonio's top-seeded Melinda Gorena and Athea Livesay in the final 6-2, 6-3. On their way to the final, they defeated more San Antonio players: Mary Druck and Mary Garcia in the quarterfinals, then Nadia de la Pena and Elizabeth Ojeda in the semis.
Horseshoe Bay Mavericks Hold Shootout, Nobody Wounded
(Photos by Don Victorin)
Don Victorin did a great job planning and ramrodding the annual Spring Shootout at Horseshoe Bay Resort Tennis Center April 11 and 12, 2008. Twelve players competed in a World-Team-Tennis-like two-day rotation on three of the red clay courts. Michelle and the Tennis Center supplied donuts and some of the prizes. Entrance fees were distributed to the big winners.
Yes, I played. Don't ask.
Players supplied the vittles for a fine picnic at the Applehead Island pool, hosted by Bob Goodman (the top gun this year). Alan Schmidt was remembered in a special way.

Blount Wins Senior Games Regional
Gil Blount didn't start his weekend expecting to come out on top in the Senior Games regional competition at San Antonio's McFarlin Tennis Center on April 12 and 13, but he did. He got to the finals of the men's 70s singles without dropping a set, then won 6-4, 6-4 against a (formerly?) higher-ranked competitor, Texas #10 70s singles player Horace Ayers. The State competition is next, coming in the Fall.
Gill Blount's Gold Medal. He's wearing it. Note the rock-hard pecs.
Burnet Adult Tennis Society (BATS)
(I assume "adult" refers to age and not something more risque, but I've been wrong before.)
Ed Keyser reminds us that there's open play on Saturday mornings (9:00 AM) and Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday evenings (5:30 PM) at the Burnet High School courts. All skill levels welcome. Bring balls & water.
HSB Resort/USTA March, 2008 Tournament/Photos
RI-CON, Official Tournament Ball Sponsor, and Carter Tannehill
The March 28-30, 2008, Horseshoe Bay Resort/USTA Red Clay Senior/SuperSenior tournament was a big success, even if local players were sometimes outplayed by those from elsewhere in the State (and a couple from outside Texas). Denise Frasier of Marble Falls, won both the women's 50s doubles (with her partner Jacqueline Davis) and the women's singles consolation. Melinda Norris (Horseshoe Bay) and Barbara Smith (Burnet) placed second to Frasier/Davis in the women's 50s doubles, and Bill Wines of Horseshoe Bay won the men's 65s consolation trophy. Some of us (speaking only for myself) felt pretty good just winning a few games.
Here are some photos of nice people.

2008 HSB Tennis Banquet
I think most of these photos were taken by Jim Montz (THANKS, Jim). If I'm wrong, someone please correct me so credit can be given -- Make up your own captions
The Fix Was In
I had nothing to do with the fact that my wife, my mother, and I won three of the 16 door prizes offered by Michelle and Aland at the Spring, 2008 Tennis Banquet. I can only say that it seemed fair, since we had to sit closest to Celebrity Emcee Gil Blount as he held forth with jokes about nuns wielding bedpans (you had to be there).
The Banquet, held on Sunday, February 24, was a big success, with some 64 attendees filling tables at the Resort, sipping complimentary champagne and dining on pasta & chicken. There was an opportunity to thank Ann Wright and the Whitewater staff, and to offer a small souvenir (which won't last long) to Michelle and Aland for their hard work over the past year. There really were 16 door prizes, ranging from gift certificates, to cases of balls, to a brand new Head racquet. I hope someone will send me a few photos to post.
Women Welcome as Subs for Men's League
Women with nothing better to do on Saturday mornings than humiliate male tennis players are welcome to sign up as subs in the Men's league. We play at 8:30 most Saturdays. Please see the schedule and rules (above and in the MFCTA section, then contact Dick Hollenbeck at the email address or phone number on the schedule.
And contact Elise Reid if you want to play on Wednesday evenings.
MFCTA Women's Doubles Schedules
Click here to email Elise Reid about the current MFCTA women's league offerings. The format and rules are similar (but not identical) to that for the men's league. The format is generally Queen-of-the-Universe (not king-of-the-hill). An introductory email was sent in mid-February, but we need more league players!
Roddick Tennis Foundation Castle Rock Update
(Press release from Dave Holder & Castle Rock)
COTTONWOOD SHORES, TX (December 14, 2007) -- The Andy Roddick Foundation (ARF), in cooperation with CastleRock Texas, The City of Cottonwood Shores, and the Marble Falls Community Tennis Association, announces plans to establish an 8.2 million dollar green and sustainable tennis facility in the Texas Hill Country. The Andy Roddick Foundation International Tennis Center will be built on land contributed by the partners of CastleRock Texas, located on Ranch Road 2147 in Cottonwood Shores, Texas.
"On behalf of the CastleRock Texas partners, Ludwig Kuttner, Robert Peerman and myself, we're over-the-top-excited to put up the land for the Andy Roddick Foundation International Tennis Center," said Marley Porter, CastleRock builder-architect. "And to think that this center will help kids for generations to come . . . that's what giving and CastleRock are all about," he added.
The ARF International Tennis Center will serve as the central training facility for the Andy Roddick Youth Tennis Program, which provides at risk youth an opportunity to learn the game of tennis and to compete on local, state and national levels. Its efforts to curtail the rising incidence of diabetes and obesity among American youth include instruction in nutrition and mentoring programs geared toward college readiness.
Top-ranked American tennis star Andy Roddick, 26, founded his foundation at the young age of 17, when he realized he was in a position to positively influence the lives of children. On October 3, 2007, his foundation implemented its youth tennis program in San Antonio in cooperation with the Rene Lacoste Foundation, The USTA Tennis and Education Fund, Our Lady of the Lake University and The Boys and Girls Club of San Antonio.
Plans for the CastleRock facility emerged from efforts by the Marble Falls Area Community Tennis Association (MFCTA) to find land for public courts. David Holder, marketing director of MFCTA, contacted local musician and tennis enthusiast, john Arthur martinez for assistance. "I asked my friend Marley Porter to do some drawings to seed the donation process. I was floored when he responded that he would not only do the initial drawings but would donate the land for the facility," Martinez explained. "The plans to create the most green and sustainable tennis facility in the world, with a proposed retractable roof over several of the courts, I knew would generate some interest."
Porter was recently recognized by Natural Home and Garden as one of the top ten green architects in America. Porter's drawings moved Sal Castillo of the United States Tennis Association (USTA) to invite Dr. Lawrence Roddick and Blanche Roddick to meet with Porter and the MFCTA. Castillo pointed out that no one has yet created a tennis facility with a retractable roof in the United States. After several meetings and phone conferences, all parties agreed to move forward with the announcement of the ARF International Tennis Facility.
"The Andy Roddick Foundation looks forward to a long and rewarding relationship with CastleRock in developing well-rounded children and tennis players," said Dr. Lawrence Roddick of the Andy Roddick Foundation. "The Foundation is committed, in principle, to establishing the tennis center at CastleRock and will work together with CastleRock to raise funds to build the tennis facility," he added.
Sal Castillo commented, "CastleRock and the Andy Roddick Foundation International Tennis Center has the USTA's full support."
Dennis Hill, Superintendent of Llano Independent School District (LISD) and Dr. Ryder Warren of Marble Falls Independent School District (MFISD) have both expressed interest in using the facility for district and invitational tournaments.
For more information on the Andy Roddick Foundation International Tennis Center at CastleRock please contact john Arthur martinez at (830) 798-9310 or David Holder at (830) 598-6697.
HSB Tennis Center Improvements Coming
Horseshoe Bay Tennis Center will be getting a significant facelift and many new amenities over the next year or so. Ground will be broken soon for four new hard courts beside the kids' courts, where the large unimproved parking area is now located. The new courts will replace the current hard courts, which will give way to a new HSB spa. The Tennis Center itself will move uphill, to the large flat area across the lagoon from the kids' courts. There will be dressing and workout facilities in the new building, and the plans call for plenty of parking.
10/13/07 Singles Ladder Posted (Click here)
New ladder players: Barry Liles is back on the challenge ladder, and has a new email address (bcliles@nctv.com, 512-619-0833). Spencer Davies joined during the summer. Another fellow may sign up within the next couple of days. Call them and PLAY A MATCH. Note: Some very good players have dropped down on the ladder because of lack of matches. One or two well-chosen matches would fix that.
Get Well Soon
. . .
Off Ladder (for now)
. . .
Adult Ladder challenges now unlimited
Any player may challenge any other player on the ladder. That's right, I expect you (er, we) 3.0 players to call a few of the upper-echelon folks and throw down the gauntlet. Slap 'em with your gloves. Call 'em out. It's win-win for the little guy: playing a 3.5-4.5 opponent and seeing how well you hit against solid groundstrokes, or reluctantly accepting his/her refusal to play and -- not so reluctantly -- taking that place on the ladder.
Of course, comparably-ranked players can challenge each other as well. In fact, I recommend it.
Advertising (Think of the Possibilities!)
If you are interested in advertising on this website (tennis section only, not the psychiatry section), or know someone who is, contact me. The price is reasonable, and all proceeds go to the Marble Falls Community Tennis Association.
Issue #24 -- 22 members
Valid challenge range: No Limit!
Ranking changes take effect as soon as I receive the score (they do not wait for the new website posting). That means that players who challenge successfully may immediately challenge further up the ladder within their new challenge range (which is unlimited at present). If you aren't sure where you stand, call or email me and I'll let you know.
Do not wait to be assigned a match! Matches are arranged between players, not by the Ladder Coordinator. Players may challenge one or more levels above their name, up to the maximum posted with each ladder. The process is pretty self-explanatory; please see the RULES posted below the ladder. Scores should be sent to me within a couple of days.
Those of you who haven't played matches every few weeks, note that your rankings have started to slip. You can tell how many periods of inactivity you have by looking in the last stat column (nearest your name), headed PI. You start to drop after 3 ladder periods, then drop about 5% for each following period of no activity. If you play a match, the clock resets. Once again, note that you can challenge down to avoid inactivity. A "period" is the time between new issues of the ladder, which varies from one to three weeks depending on how busy I am or whom I want to punish (it's good to be king).
On a related topic, I initially said that players with "excused" inactivity (travel, final exams, knee surgery, visiting grandchildren) would not be demoted. I lied. Turns out the computer program won't exempt individuals in that way. So all of you who spend 2-1/2 months in Norway every summer (that would be you, Gil) should understand that you will likely drop a bit before your return.

Here is the preliminary (May 21, 2008) doubles schedule and general rules. Dick will get a more solid schedule out as soon as he can. Call of email Dick if you need to make changes to the overall schedule (but not for week-to-week problems).
All play is on Saturdays, May 24 - August 9, 8:30AM, Marble Falls High School courts
From Dick Hollenbeck: The two weeks of experimentation and recruiting allowed us to find a fun mode of play:
We will play king-of-the-hill, 5 to 6 mini-sets per morning, as we did Saturday, May 17. This is no-add, first-team-to-6-wins triggers wholesale rotation of all courts, no need to win by 2 games." Typically this is 15-20 minutes per mini-set, and the most lopsided set dictates the timing of rotation for all courts. So the king of the hill mechanism gets lots of rotations and within two to three mini-sets like this, you will be playing with folks at your ability level, and will never get stuck playing with or against someone that you do not prefer for a very long time. There is no waiting around for another set to finish.
Court 4 is left open for walk-ons. This will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Those that are scheduled will have priority and will not be expected to sit out any sets for folks that walk on. Those that walk on first will normally choose to play all sets, especially if they drove from afar, but can choose to share their slot if they want. Be there early if you want firm walk on status for that fourth court.Players
