Dear Parents and Players,

We look forward to seeing you at the Les Sutton Memorial Tournament at Woodford Wells (www.woodfordwellsclub.co.uk) on Sunday 5th February 23.   

?The initial draw is now available to view on: https://sportmgr.co.uk/t/72469/info.

Note: this is subject to change between now and the start of the tournament and you are advised to check the draw 12 hours before the event starts. Any significant changes will be communicated to you.

Withdrawals:  Anyone withdrawing from the tournament from today (1st Feb) will not receive a refund.

Please read the following information so you know how everything works. Also make sure you tell your child everything, especially if you are new to these tournaments.

We have done our very best to ensure that people do not spend all day and as short a time as possible at the event. We have had a large number of entries (56) and nearly matches 100 will be played over 4 courts.

• Address: Monkhams Lane, Woodford, Woodford Green, Essex, IG8 0NL, UK. 
• Tournament Organiser Vickie Prow: Tel 07796181286 (vickieprow@gmail.com)
• Please arrive approx. 20 mins before your first game and register with the organiser. You should also be available 20 mins before all games. 
• If you must withdraw or are going to be late you must call Vickie in the first instance. Do not send an email as we will not be picking these up!!!!!
• Parking is available at the venue. 
• Registration and the tournament desk will be in the squash courts by court 4.
• Changing rooms and toilets are located downstairs.  
• All matches are best of 3 (first to 2 games) first to 11. 2 clear points are required to win a game. 
• We are playing a system of Monrad or round robin, which means each player plays to the final position.  You are not out of the tournament if you lose your first match or any further match until the end. If you are not familiar with this system, please speak to your coach in advance of playing in the tournament.
• Please make sure you know the start time of each match. After you have played your first and every match you are required to mark the next match on the court (both players). Collect your match sheet from your marker, return it to the desk and collect the marking sheet for the next match. If you are not familiar with marking, speak to your coach at your next training session and get some practice. If you need help on the day, ask. Coaches and older/experienced juniors will be there to help you.
• Parents do not interfere with the marking. There may be some decisions that you don’t agree with. If there are any problems, contact Vickie in the first instance.
• Do not leave if you have lost or after your game. You must check with the tournament desk the time and day of your next match. We may change times slightly to make sure things move smoothly. This may mean you play earlier or later or more games than you expect in the day.
• Other users and clubs will be using the building at the same time to please respect other users. It will be very busy at times.
• The café will be open from approx. 9am for hot drinks, refreshments, snacks and lunch etc.
• If you have any problems or complaints let us know on the day so that these can be resolved as soon as possible. We’d also appreciate it if you could come to us with a solution. We are volunteers and would like help from parents to take on roles that will help us run the tournament.

Have a great day. Vickie.
