The Group eMail list is to help arrange subs when needed on Monday Nights.  You can send a message to all players and subs by addressing an eMail message to MNTennis@GoogleGroups.com.  HOWEVER:

A. WHEN TO USE THIS:

(A1) This group is to be used ONLY by players arranging subs for Monday Night Tennis. 

(A2) Before sending a message to all players and subs using this, FIRST try getting a sub via phone or direct eMail.  Use the broad group eMail list only for last day desperation purposes.  That will minimize the amount of unwanted messages folks will get.  [This "rule" is now relaxed somewhat, but not the others].

B.  USING the Group eMail List.

(B1) SUBJECT line - include your name and specific request.  (e.g., Subject: "Joe Brumley needs sub 5/4/09").

(B2) INCLUDE in your message text:

• Say whether or not you're due to bring balls. 
• Say responses should be sent ONLY to You at your eMail address (perhaps with a cc: to me at Tennis@Actuary1.com).  [This would still be nice, but this respond-to rule is not mandatory.]

(B3) SELECT considering COURT LEVEL - You need NOT specify court level with your sub request.  Instead, use the schedule's court level guidance to help you pick a sub from those that responded positively.

(B4) GET AFFIRMATION - Responses will be tentative awaiting your selection.  MAKE SURE after you've picked someone that you get their affirmation that they know it and will sub.

(B5) NOTIFY

• Tell of your decision to all responders that you didn't select
• Tell ME.  You may also want to tell me who else said they are available to sub.

C.  GENERAL SUB-GETTING RULES

(C1) Remember that you are highly encouraged to try to get a sub that is at about your level, using the court indicators on the schedule for guidance

(C2) ALWAYS be sure to tell me (Jon) once you've arranged for a sub who it is (via eMail or phone)

 

D.  HAVE FUN
