To all our affiliates and members,

Please note that at a recent TTV Board meeting the Board unanimously voted to commence enforcing By-Law 19,29-30 which states:

A member registered with Table Tennis Victoria shall not participate in any tournament, pennant competition or like activity conducted by an unaffiliated body.

A breach of this by-law may –

ï‚· result in disciplinary action taken under rule 13 of the Constitution of Table Tennis Victoria, or

ï‚· result in the imposition of any sanction by resolution of the Board of Table Tennis Victoria, including (but not limited to) exclusion from approved tournaments and pennant competitions, non-selection in State teams and disqualification from any award.

TTV has always had this rule as part of the affiliation package but it was never enforced. We have now voted to enforce the rule due to the proliferation of unaffiliated clubs.

As such, effective immediately, any TTV registered player who plays at a non affiliated club will be refused entry into any TTV sanctioned tournament and will therefore be ineligible for selection in any state team.

Please advise all of your players of this ruling.

Dennis Makaling
