More about Member Ids, unfinished/unplayed sets. The away team
to ‘confirm’ the result which the home team entered. |
This summer
we are trialling an additional results process for the ADLTA league senior
leagues. Whilst the tried and trusted method of sending cards in is still the
official way to do things, we are introducing a web-based system whereby full
results can be entered directly into the LTA website. The aim is to eventually
do away with having to send in results cards.
For this
summer at least we are continuing as per usual with the card system for
recording match results, and this will remain 'the official system’ for
recording results until we are all more comfortable with the new system. So as
a minimum, this summer and next winter the two systems will run in
parallel.
The web-based system we've chosen to use is the LTA's League Planner.
We have set up the league, the clubs, the divisions, the fixtures (with a
default fixture date) and (in most cases) added players from lists received
from your fixture secretaries. The fixture secretaries, having agreed
dates at the fixture meeting are/will be updating the default date (
So where do you come in?
Well your job is to enter your home results on match day, or as soon as
possible afterwards, directly into the LTA website. This will automatically
update the league tables and statistics etc etc.
For this season at least you still send your match cards to Keith, Sam or
Jackie, and they will deal with any disputes you have re non-web related
issues. As far as entering your results and using the website in general, then
Laura Williams and Chris Iles are available to help you.
So, this is your link to get to the website.
http://lta.tournamentsoftware.com/member/login.aspx
Once there you will need your club userid and password, which your fixture
secretary, or Laura or Chris, can supply.
Please don't change the password.
Chris Iles email: chris.iles@hotmail.co.uk
Laura Williams email: ljwilliams@hwca.com
Please see
the online results process below showing you how to enter your match results on
the LTA website.
AT THE MATCH: Home captain completes
match card, both captains sign, and home captain sends off to the relevant organiser,
as per usual. Both captains retain their own copy.

The Login name and Password are unique to your club. Please

BOTH captains follow the steps below:
HOME team captain follows the steps below:
AWAY team captain
follow the steps below:
A ‘British
Tennis Membership number’ or BTM No..
To find a
player’s British Tennis Membership number you can\use the player search
function at www.lta.org.uk/Search/PlayerSearch/.
Players
don’t require a BTM number to compete in our leagues but if you have one please
use it. Otherwise the suggestion is to use Surname + 01, eg SMITH01, SMITH02.
This should only be required if you are entering new players during the course
of entering a result.
Please
don’t try and concoct a fake BTM No., one which looks like a real one, ie all
numerics as it will confuse the LTA’s main system.
Ideally, if
you have a BTM No., we’d prefer it, even if a dummy number has been used.
This is
allocated by the LTA.
The website
doesn’t cater for half points so we have set it up to allocate 2 points per set
to allow for a halved set.
You need a
UserId to log into the system and enter (or confirm) a result, but anyone can
go to the website and look at the results without the need to log in.
Just search
for tournament ‘ADLTA’.
Home team
scores must be entered first (e.g. an away win is recorded 4-6)
Tiebreak
scores are not recorded; just the games total (e.g. 7-6)
Yes. When you go to enter a result and see that
the date needs changing you can do this by clicking on the ‘reschedule match’
button.
See above
When you
click on <select player> you will be shown a drop down list all the
players who are allocated to your team squad. The player you want may be in
your ‘club’ list but just not yet allocated to your team squad, and therefore
won’t be displayed.
So first of
all let’s see if the system has them in your club list.
Click ‘ADD
PLAYER’ button.
A box will
pop up with the club-list of players for you to choose from. This box will
already have a ‘Select Players’ option highlighted and a list of players
displayed.
Is the
player you want in here?
If so,
highlight the name and click ‘OK’.
This will
add them to your team squad and so make them available for selection for the
rubber, under the original <select player>option.
If they are
not in the list then you may be able to add them. Just to the right of the
‘Select Players’ button is an ‘Add New Player’ button. Click on this.
You will be
able to add a player if it is for the home team, but not the away team. If the
player you wanted was from the away team you will need to use the ‘dummy
player’ for this. Please then put the real name in the comments box and we can
add it for you. If the player you want is a home tesm player then go ahead and
add them. This adds them to the club-list. You will then need to select them
for the team squad. .
NB: You
ought to be able to add players at any time but this season you have not been
able to, other than when entering a result. We hope that the inability to do
this will be with us by next season. In the meantime, if you know of any names
which need adding, let Laura or Chris know.
Add the
names of the players who played in it or would have played in it.
Select the
result of ‘unplayed no players’
Set the
result to 5-5, or if the actual score was tied when the set was halted use
that.
In this way
the system will allocate a drawn set and give each team a point.
Please use
the comments box to record the real set score if it doesn’t match the score
entered. These games may be important in the case of a countback.
In the
Mixed league the Mens name should be entered above the Ladies. (sorry – it has
to be one way or the other)
If a team concedes
the match (and no agreement is made to reschedule) then the match is awarded to
the other team and the result is entered using the ‘Enter Team Result’ option
as opposed to the ‘Enter Rubber Result’ option.
Please follow the process below:
1. Follow steps 1-7 of the ‘BOTH’
captain’s process
2. Click ‘Enter Team Result’
3. Enter the winner and the score as
per your league rules, ie 6-0 sets
4. Click ‘save’
The HOME
team is still responsible for entering this result.
If it needs
to be replayed, don’t record the result on the website. Your fixture secretary
will re-schedule the match as per usual and update the match fixture date.

Any other questions, please contact
your fixture secretary, or Chris or Laura
