Players Meeting Minutes Feedback

Players Meeting Minutes 

At the Player's Meeting in Melbourne in November 2007, certain recommendations were made from the floor and presented in the minutes of that meeting.  The Executive Committee has had discussions regarding the recommendations and has begun the process of implementing some of the changes (For example, the Australian Open Championships will be hosted by SA in 2009). 

We are able to give agreement to the following recommendations:

Ø       That the Australian Open Championships be rotated on a 2:1 basis (2 years VCC: 1 year other states);

Ø       The Australian Open will be kept to 9 days;

Ø       That a Dinner/BBQ be held on the night of the K/O Draw;

Ø       The Players may also schedule a meeting that night if they wish;

Ø       Tournament Conditions will state if players may be required to play under lights. 

At this time, Stephen Meatheringham is conducting a review of the ACA Tournament Regulations and Conditions.  Many of the remaining recommendations from the minutes of the Player's Meeting will come under consideration as an integral part of that review.

We thank the players for their submissions and welcome the opportunity for us all to work together to advance our Events.
