_Finals Eligibility:_
- Players must
play at least 3 matches during the home/away season in
order to qualify for finals for a particular night.
- Being named
in a complete
washout/heatout/blackout does not qualify as a
match played towards finals eligibility.
(N.B. A complete washout/heatout/blackout is
a match in which not a single game in any set has been completed)
- When a team
receives a forfeit, only the players named for the team winning
by forfeit will count towards finals eligibility.
(i.e. The team losing by forfeit cannot name players)
_Answers to some FAQs_
1. All SETS
in the BDNTA are first to six games, with a tie-breaker
to be played at 5 games all.
2. TROLS RESULTS
ENTRY for tie-break sets: 6/5 to the WINNING team.
3. All BDNTA
TIE-BREAKERS are the traditional 12 point tie-break: first
to 7 points with a margin of at least 2 points.
(eg. A winning score could be 7/3
or 7/5 etc., but if the tie-break scores reach 6 points all, then the tie-break
continues until one team is at least 2 points ahead)
4. Players must not
play for more than one club during the same season on the same playing night.
i.e. If Joe Blogs
plays for Blackburn on Tuesday nights then he cannot
play for another club on Tuesday nights during the same season.
