MFCTA Calendar & Updates Online
Jo Lynn Dyer has developed an updateable MFCTA calendar, currently showing Spring/Summer of 2010, perhaps to include school tennis team information/schedules. It will include junior, adult, school and MFCTA fundraiser activities and leagues, as well as special events that are provided to her. The calendar is dynamic and updates instantly; check it often.
Please let Jo Lynn know (jldyer71@gmail.com) if you have events you would like posted. She will either post them or send you a "submission request form."
Please see link below to view the MFCTA calendar. Note that it can be viewed in several ways (monthly, weekly, "agenda") and can be printed (see top right corner of calendar). If you click on an event, additional details about it will appear.
After you click on the Calendar link, save the site to your bookmarks so that you can find it easily.

MFCTA Meeting January, 2010, New Officers
MFCTA Membership Meeting Sunday, January 10, 2010, 3:00 P.M., Applehead Island Tennis Facility
Attendees: 26 people attended (list of names on file with MFCTA secretary)
President Mark Moran welcomed everyone and offered several announcements:
- Regular/league player groups must sign up for the season at the MFHS athletic office (Penny Brydson – secretary). In addition to giving permission to use the courts, this also gives your group a “reserved” status to prevent non-reserved players from bumping you off the courts. It also can help assure restroom availability to your group if the school knows ahead of time that you’re coming. Unscheduled play, such as individual matches, does not require sign-up ahead of time. And, of course, all play is contingent on the high school tennis teams not needing the courts when you want them. They get first rights.
(Note from Ione Barcus: Burnet High School has 8 courts, restrooms, and no need to sign up at all for now.)
- Partial list of area organized play – call or e-mail the organizer to participate
> Jim Hawkins’ men’s doubles group (which sometimes invites women) plays Monday and Thursdays at Applehead or Applehead Island or the high school
> Multi-level men’s doubles organized by Casey Burns (w/ help from Barbara Smith) play Saturday mornings 8:45 a.m. at MFHS (3.5 and under, 4.0 and over)
> Men’s singles ladder – Casey Burns (again with Barbara’s help)
> Women’s doubles organized by Denise Frasier – play Wednesdays at 5:00 p.m. at MFHS
> Llano HS courts doubles - Tuesday and Thursdays
> Burnet HS courts doubles - Tues./Thurs. evenings & Sat. mornings; just show up to play (Ione Barcus)
Elections for 2010
President – Michelle Stallard
Vice President (and general duty consultant) – Gil Blount

Treasurer’s Report

New Players
Terrel Cass (830) 693-2035
Blair Feller (Blair.Feller[at]gmail.com), (830) 385-2782, Meadowlakes, likes singles, too.
Len Gershon (lbgershon[at]yahoo.com), (512) 297-9630, (512) 468-6806 (cell), Lago Vista, intermediate. Wife Wendy also plays.
John Nilson (nilson[at]nctv.com), Meadowlakes, advanced.
If you know of new players in the area, please ask them to (1) contact me to get on my spam... er, tennis interest mailing list and (2) join MFCTA.
Here's the deal: I'd like to get some advertising on this website which will benefit MFCTA, but very few people have contacted me about ads. So for a limited time, I'm willing to place "banner" ads of local interest in a special advertising section for FREE. Here are the rules.
- The "Advertising Section" will be near the top of the main page, but will not displace recent or important news content.
- I will not create the ad for you. Advertisers must send me their ads, generally in "banner" format, ready for insertion. That generally means in HTML, so I can simply paste the ad from your email to the web page. Do not simply send me the text and expect me to format it or create the HTML code.
- Banners can be as simple as a box with typing inside (saved as some kind of image or object file) or as complex as a complete HTML piece with links, photos, other graphics, rollovers and flashing lights. The latter is not really so complex; many junior high kids can produce one for you, or you can simply copy someone else's banner ad and insert your own content.
- I reserve the right to refuse or remove an ad for any reason that occurs to me. I'll try to be fair, but you know how that goes.
- I also reserve the right to stop the FREE nonsense someday and start charging (with plenty of advance notice to the advertisers). All profits will go to MFCTA.
Fair enough? Now, let's see some capitalism out there.
Please Patronize Our Advertisers. |
In the heart of the Texas Hill Country. Endorsed by me for its small classes and individual attention to students (I'm on the Board of Trustees). The tennis team ain't bad, either.

Coman Tiebreak Rules
At 6-all in a set: First to seven points, win by two, change after points 1,5,9,13,17,
The first server serves one point from the deuce court. Immediately change ends of the court and the second server serves two points, one from the ad court, followed by one from the deuce court. The next server serves two points - ad court followed by deuce court. Change ends of the court after these four points are played and every four points thereafter until one player or doubles team reaches seven points and wins by two. Match Coman Tiebreak (used in place of a third set) uses the same format as above but play is to ten points, win by two.
