Having sounded out the views of all Clubs in the Reading League, the RDTTA Management Committee has decided the following:

• we will plan for 2021/22 season league matches to start in September 2021
• options will be considered for the format of league matches (see below)
• other RDTTA events will be run where possible, provided there is an organiser 
• the Youth League cannot be run unless someone volunteers to be the organiser
• TTE and Government guidelines regarding Covid-19 will be followed

Dates for team & player registrations will be published in the coming weeks.

Options for the format of league matches, based on several requests for shorter evenings

  a) Three player teams, 9 singles matches, best of 5 games, plus doubles (current)

  b) Three player teams, 9 singles matches, best of 5 games, no doubles

  c) Three player teams, 6 singles matches, best of 5 games, no doubles (each player plays two opponents)

  d) Two-player teams, 4 singles matches, best of 5 games, with doubles

  e) Two-player teams, 4 singles matches, best of 5 games, no doubles

  f) Three player teams, 9 singles matches, best of 3 games, no doubles

  g) Three player teams, 9 singles matches, best of 3 games, plus doubles

It is anticipated that options c, d & e are likely to be ruled out for the following reasons:

• many players would not get sufficient playing time to make the evening worthwhile
• squads of 4 or 5 players would mean players would not play matches often enough
• smaller squads would generate more teams than many Clubs could accommodate 
  

It is intended that Clubs and players will be sounded-out for their views on these options.

The final decision will be made at the 2021 AGM.
