Slazenger/Deuce Sheffield & District Junior League Results Submission Process 2016

Results will be submitted by team captains online, allowing your players to see up to date league tables, match results and their own player statistics. Results are then transferred weekly to the LTA for ratings purposes.

A scorecard must also be posted to Margaret French.

Before the season begins:  Check that all your players are British Tennis Members, they can sign up at www.lta.org.uk/membership  Check that all your players have their British Tennis Membership linked to your club – this will normally happen when they signed up but to help the submission process you should check by getting a full BTM list from your club main contact with the LTA (they can access this through their LTA login).  Club to decide who will be submitting online results – individual team captains or one main contact. All submitters to be informed of the clubs login details.

At the match:  Home teams to provide the official scorecard. Both teams to have a copy which should be retained by both clubs to help in the event of any disputes..  Both scorecards should be completed with the home team keeping the original card and the away team the copy.

Q: A player is not showing on the ‘add player’ function? A: Make sure you try all possible spellings of a name – in case it has been written incorrectly on the scorecard or it has been abbreviated. If you still can’t find the name then submit ‘Unknown player’ – continue to submit all results and once verified ‘Add Comment’ – here you should enter in which team and position the player played (e.g. Graves Player 4) followed by their name and BTM number.

Q: I don’t have a computer? A: Results must be submitted by the home team within 48 hours of a match. If the team captain doesn’t have internet access then another trusted member should be asked to submit on their behalf. You can submit from work, home, or public computer.

Q: Can I phone/email in my results? A: Results will not be taken over the phone or via email. This is to ensure no mistakes are made and to allow draws to be updated immediately. You can e-mail a copy of the scorecard.
