The T2 Singles League
We are pleased to present our T2 Singles League, designed to create a competitive and interactive environment for table tennis enthusiasts. The league is open to all interested individuals and provides an opportunity for friendly competition. Only T2ers (T2 Club members) who are in good standing with the club can participate in the league.
The league consists of multiple rounds, each spanning over one quarter of the year. At the end of each round, promotion and relegation take place. The top performers are promoted (🏅) to higher divisions, while those at the bottom are relegated (➝) to lower divisions, ensuring a fair and competitive environment.
Participants in the league are responsible for communicating and scheduling their own matches with other members of their respective league divisions. Each player must play against every other person in their division at least once during each round. The Member Area provides a resource to match membership IDs with member names for ease of communication. It also provide you with the means of communicating with members via their provided email address.
During matches, players have the option to umpire their own matches or elect an umpire of their choosing. If they elect an umpire, they are required to pay the umpire's relevant subsidy before the match commences (Paid directly to the umpire).
Preferably, both players may submit scorecards on the day the match was played, but at least 1 of the 2 players are required to submit a scorecard on the day the match was played. Only accurately completed (and corresponding) scorecards will be accepted to maintain the integrity of the league.
The league timeline is as follows:
