RESCHEDULING:
1. Because of Covid-19, no rescheduling will be allowed this season. If a player does not play their match at the scheduled time, their opponent will receive a 6-0,6-0 win. So many restrictions have been put in place to make this League possible, it is impossible to monitor a match outside of the scheduled match time.
2. Each player is scheduled to play 6 matches over seven Mondays. If you have a conflict with a Monday, notify the Junior League Coordinator after registering for MATCH League at julie@corta.org and she will TRY to make arrangements so the player receives a BYE that Monday.
3. It is important to try to play all matches. A score of 6-0, 6-0 will have a huge impact on the standings. Please make effort to play every match.
In this League, let’s allow our juniors to learn on their own without interference, as Morihei Ueshiba says:
“Failure is the key to success, each mistake teaches us something.”
