25.01.2022 Massive first round of the first ever CHH Knockout Comp! A couple of gruelling 2hr+ 3 set matches today, which is what CHH is all about! Main comp results at: https://canberraheavyhitters.challonge.com/2020CHHWinterKno Well done to Sam Brady, Stefan Steppe, Harry Stokes and Andras Toth who advance to the next round. ... These matches may now commence, deadline Friday night 19th June. **Consolation Draw** Consolation draw is up. https://canberraheavyhitters.challonge.com/2020CHHWinterKno Players please see your email to vote on consolation draw format (include 2nd round losers or not?)

25.01.2022 Registration for Term 4 CHH NextGen closes this Thursday 6pm. The Term 4 league runs from weeks 2-8, finals run week 9-10. Full info below, to register select this link: https://heavyhitters.com.au/nextgen... The focus of CHH NextGen leagues is to provide Canberra Junior (<18) players with the regular competitive matchplay they need for ongoing player development with their coaches. HOW IT WORKS League Format: Every 10 week school term there will be a round robin draw providing at least 5-8 matches, with the top 4 players advancing into a 2 week knockout finals draw. Match Format: Singles tennis. 2 Tiebreak Sets, with a Super-Tiebreak (first to 10) if 1-1 sets. Scheduling: Semi-Flexible Scheduling. No set days or times. Players receive a round robin ‘schedule’. Each week the ‘home’ player contacts their listed opponent for the following week to organise a time to play. If that player is unavailable matches can then be organised with other players. However players must prioritise organising the scheduled match before moving onto organising a match out of order. It’ll be likely the majority of matches will happen on weekends. League Draw/Results System: Canberra Heavy Hitters uses Challonge to run its leagues. All players will have their own logins (usually ‘CHHFirstnameLastname’ as username/password) in order to see the draw, the results, the standings and enter their scores. For more information on how to use Challonge select here and scroll down. Prizes: Unlike the main CHH Leagues , the NextGen Leagues do not have prizemoney, instead players may be rewarded by their Coaches based on performance during the league. Coaches will specify what the goal is for their players and let their players know before the league commences. WHO CAN PLAY A 3.0 4.5 NTRP level player (see https://heavyhitters.com.au/who-we-are-standard) An ACT/Queanbeyan high school player currently enrolled in regular Coaching with a Canberra Tennis Coach Junior players who wish to try Heavy Hitters leagues before committing to the main CHH Leagues.

Lights Upgrade: The club has received a grant from the ACT Government to partly fund the upgrade of the club lights. This significant capital expenditure project includes replacing the existing poles, wiring and lights. This project is in its early stages. We hope that the upgrade will be completed by the end of the year. Unfortunately, due to Covid-19 this project has been delayed. Club’s financial position: The club has had no income since the middle of March and will only receive minimal income for the rest of the financial year, even though we still have to meet our ongoing running costs and pay a significant contribution of the club’s funds towards the lighting upgrade project. However, there will be no increase in the 20/21 membership fees. The committee has taken this decision to show you, our members, that we appreciate your support, especially through these difficult times. Feel free to message us if you have any questions!

03.01.2022 'Tis Wet Weather this weekend! If you are sneaking some CHH League Matches in the CHH Rules and Regs (https://heavyhitters.com.au/rules-regulations) have you covered for most scenarios but here is how we do things when matches get rained out. ******** 9. Match Discontinued due to Poor Weather/Lighting... a. A match should be discontinued if any player feels unsafe on a surface due to wet weather or poor/no lighting. A match should also be discontinued if there is storms with lightening in the area. Both players should wait 15-20mins to see if the weather abates. If a match cannot be continued due to poor weather or poor lighting, the match should be resumed and completed within 2 weeks. The players should let the CHH organizer know about the rescheduling of the match and the score. The CHH organiser will enter the score in the system but not finalise it. Players will continue their match at the start of the game that they left off. b. If the sets are 1-1 when play discontinues and it is the start of the 3rd set, players may choose to play a super tie breaker (first to 10) to decide the match if the weather/lighting allows it.
