Veterans Captains Cup Winner 2024

The Beaumont Captains cup trophy was awarded to Pascal Mias for his leadership, communication and sportsmanship in 2024

The Beaumont cup is a special tribute to the Beaumont family table tennis players that are no longer with us.

It is great that Jennifer awarded this special trophy to Pascal last Sunday.

 

Congratulations Pascal, and thank you for being such a great captain. The award was voted on by the NSW Veterans Committee last year.

NSW Veterans Table Tennis 2025 Code of Conduct

Welcome to the 2025 season of NSW Veterans Table Tennis. We hope you enjoy the games including rising to the challenges and overcoming adversity. The following guidelines will ensure the competition runs effectively.

1.       COVID Safe Procedures

NSW Veterans provides a COVID-safe playing environment ensuring appropriate social distancing as guided by the State Government regulations.  These may vary from time to time.

2.       Common Courtesies of the Game

Veterans’ table tennis is played in a “spirit of friendship and mutual assistance”. ITTF table tennis rules apply to all matches.  See http://www.ittf.com/ittf_handbook/ittf_hb.html. Common courtesies of the game include:

·           No rudeness or offensive language to other players or the umpire.

·           Players are expected to behave respectfully to their opponents and acknowledge each other and the umpire at the completion of each match.

·           Players are expected to be available and ready to play when required.

·           Each player should take their turn at umpiring matches. Umpires must clearly call the score.

3.       Dress Code

The dress code for table tennis is of a general nature based on respect for each other and, where appropriate, our duty of care toward young players.

·         White or very light clothing is prohibited as it makes it difficult to see the white ball.

·         Clothing should be conservative in nature. No midriff or buttocks should be visible for men or women.

·         When representing NSW, the correct state uniform must be worn.

4.       Inappropriate Behaviour

The Member Protection & Complaints Statement of the Constitution forms the basis for dealing with inappropriate behaviour. Inappropriate behaviour may result in a reprimand, a fine and or suspension. In serious cases of misbehaviour, the allegations will be dealt with by the Member Protection Officer, NSWTTA.

·      In the first instance, where an allegation of inappropriate behaviour is confirmed, the perpetrator will be asked to provide a written apology and make a commitment that such behaviour will not occur again.

·      The perpetrator of repeated or highly inappropriate behaviour will be dealt with by NSWTTA under their Member Protection provisions.

·      Where a player is selected to represent NSW at a tournament, the player is expected to behave in an exemplary way on the court, at the venue and at any other associated events.

·      If inappropriate behaviour is witnessed please inform Jennifer Aduckiewicz the Vets Complaints Officer

5.       Use of Illegal Rubbers

NSWTTA has advised that any use of illegal rubbers may result in a ban from the sport. Bats should be kept in good condition and display the ITTF symbol and No. Newer rubbers in a variety of colours are approved.

6.       Team Membership

·         As far as possible, players should be available to play either morning or afternoon sessions and should inform their captain of their availability to play as early as possible to ensure a full team for each match.

·         The captain should roster all players in a fair manner, ensuring team members wishing to meet the specified Selection Criteria to represent NSW at the National competition are able to do so.

·         In 2022 we instigated 1 bonus point for teams who do not require a reserve player, this remains in 2025

·         Captains can contact the Division Coordinator who can help them if a reserve player is required.  

·         Good captains can be nominated for the annual Beaumont Memorial Captain’s Cup Trophy.

GOOD LUCK THIS YEAR
