Venue & Start Time
All matches will be played at the Empire Stadium, Marine Parade, Petone. The stadium will be open from 6:30pm each interclub night and interclub matches are scheduled to start at 7:00pm. Team captains/players need to pay the team’s night fees and provide the playing order (Premier 1 only) to the duty official before the score sheet will be given out.
It is still a key objective for TTW to ensure interclub contests finish at a reasonable time. Would all teams please be aware of their responsibilities in this area.
Teams
Teams consist of three or more players of a similar ability. While only three players from a team can play singles in a contest, a fourth player can be introduced to play in the doubles matches only, regardless of the score in the contest, in place of one of the singles players.
Combined club teams may be allowed, therefore, clubs can enter individuals or pairs of players. All teams are subject to the approval of the TTW Interclub Subcommittee.
Format
The final format is subject to team numbers – it is intended to play eight team grades, if at all possible, over two separate competitions as occurred last year (Series 1 and 2). Grading matches, for all grades, maybe held prior to the beginning of both Series 1 and 2 competitions if required, and at the discretion of the TTW Interclub Subcommittee.
Teams will play 1 contest each week, consisting of 11 matches; three singles for each player and two doubles for the team. Matches will be best of five advantage games to 11 points.
For example – an eight team grade:
Play a round robin competition of 7 weeks followed by semi finals and/or final, have one week off then a further competition of 7 weeks culminating in semi finals, then the grade championships the week after and a finals night a further week on for all grades. The senior nationals begin the week after that.
After the Series 1 round robin competition TTW will call for new entries re Series 2. Any applications for regrading players to a lower grade must be submitted to the interclub subcommittee for approval, at least five days before Series 2 commences. Additional teams may be entered/accepted, at the discretion of the interclub subcommittee and subject to an available slot in an appropriate grade.
Grade championships will be held for Premier 2, 3 and B grades on 27/28 September. All grade championships are dependent on entries and TTW reserves the right to alter the format to ensure equitable contests.
Conduct
The TTW Code of Conduct will be enforced in all interclub matches.
Ball
TTW requires the use of the – TTNZ adopted – Stag 3 star white ball in all interclub contests. This ‘approved’ ball will be supplied, at no charge, for all interclub contests.
Points
Assuming the use of a format that has playoffs at the end of round robin play, the following points system will be used in all grades:
2 points for a win
1 bonus point for teams losing 5-6
1 bonus point for teams winning a contest 10-1 or 11-0
If the format used is a round robin contest only ie: no playoffs, then the following points system will be used:
2 points for a win
0 points for all losses
With reference to the TTW Code of Conduct; TTW interclub contest points may be taken off teams whose players persistently ignore the requirements of the Code of Conduct re the ‘new’ 3 strikes rulings and/or are involved in more serious breaches of the Code. While serious breaches will require formal proceedings, lesser offences will be dealt with immediately under the ‘3 strikes’ policy.
Further action may be taken against individual players involved in breaches of the Code of Conduct.
Matches will be recorded and used to determine final/playoff places in each series, if two or more teams are equal on points.
Fees
The team registration fee will remain the same as last year, $12.00 per team.
Night Fees – No change from last year.

The re-launch of the Belmont TT Club was a great success on the 29th of April getting 10 junior players along including 2 girls that had never played before. The club has high hopes in boosting the grass roots participation numbers within TTW and therefore increasing the chance of a future champion or two.
To get the Club up and running again meant a lot of discussions with the council over storage of tables and venue availability, we luckily got around these obstacles unscathed. An issue we were faced with was finding all the tables that had belonged to the Club all those years ago, but to no avail. We have literally begged, borrowed and stolen equipment to re-launch the Club which we are sincerely grateful to the table tennis community in helping us. Nets came from Waterloo and Tables are on loan from both the Association and the Empire Club. I have been very impressed with the clubs attitudes and willingness to help the Belmont Club out.
Now we are up and running we have the challenge of being able to put together interclub teams in as many grades as possible. Any willing players out there?
The Belmont Club is on every Friday night @ 6-8pm for all junior players and 8-10pm for senior players. We play out of the Belmont Memorial Hall, Belmont Domain, 5011 (juniors $3, seniors $5).

Remember that this Summer Interclub is a trial of the 2-person format. There will be advantages and disadvantages… keep this in mind as you go because at the end we’ll round-up everyone’s thoughts and see where to go from there.
Can’t remember what a table tennis ball looks like? You need to get back into interclub! Summer interclub is starting at the start of March. We had the composite teams in spring, and again something different for summer: 2-player teams (with best-of-7 matches). This format is used elsewhere (e.g. Auckland use it for all their regular season divisions) and has some advantages over 3-player format.
Start: March 2 (Wednesdays)
End: April 6 (may vary according to entries)
Entries close: Feb 23 (to Bruce: chairperson [at] ttwellington.org.nz)
Entry form and full details: 2011 TTW Summer Interclub Entry Form
The format is 2 singles each (best-of-7) and one doubles (which is best of 7 too unless both captains agree on best of 5). For singles (2-player best-of-7 matches) you get about the same number of sets (8-14) as 3-player best-of-5 (9-15). For doubles, the player who would have played 2 matches plays less while the other two play a little more.
Fees are a flat $7 each ($14/team).
Players must be affiliated to a clubs but can find their own team, cross-club teams are fine. You can enter as a reserve-only if you like.
Stag 3-star balls will be provided.
Points are 2 for a team win, 1 for a 2-3 loss (‘bonus-point’ style), and 0 for any other loss.
Summer competition is a great way to get back into form and this new format should be interesting to try out. The main change being longer matches which I think means:
- Fewer upsets. In theory a longer match means less chance of an upset. All the more satisfying when you beat that higher ranked player!
- More drama. Coming back from 0-3 to win 4-3 on the cards?
- More experimentation. With more games there is more opportunity to change tactics to experiment for yourself or to test an opponent.
- Strategy. You are more likely to have to change your tactics during a longer match if your opponent adjusts.
The final results are posted here (the file is here).
Congratulations to:
Section 1 winners: Pumas (Depak Patel, Jason Giles, Diana Levinson, Scott Higham)
Section 2 winners: Bobcats (Graham Sole, Reg Fuez, Adam Xiong)
The composite mix certainly led to a lot of close team results each week, I certainly enjoyed it and I hope you all did! Thanks to Bruce for all the legwork on each night, and Chris Williams for collating the results each week. We’re already thinking up ideas for the next summer competition (later in Feb) so something else interesting is on the cards to trial, let us know if you have any thoughts, things like a 2-player section which has been talked about for a while are on the table, and other possibilities too.
