1. We are breaking the fall/winter season into two halves (with the dates below) and assigning seasonal court times for each half of the winter so as to allow for multiple groups of members to establish timeslots for regular games.  The Racquets Committee will work to balance the available court times (based on the requests submitted) as fairly as possible between the two halves of the winter season. Seasonal court time requests can be submitted to Tennis Committee and Alex from September 1^st to 15^th of each year.
2. Seasonal court time is split into two halves: October 1^stthrough January 15^th and January 16^th through April 30^th.  Members need to cancel their “seasonal court time” at least 24 hours in advance.  First strike you get a warning, second strike you lose your privileges.
