STEPS FOR YOUR EVALUATION

Evaluations will be held the 3rd FULL week of every month and consist of 2 Phases:

  1. Phase 1a – Skills Assessment
  2. Phase 1b – Ghost Doubles
  3. Phase 2 – Level Play

Prior to Evaluation

  1. Print the Skills Self-Assessment form for the level you wish to move up to. (i.e., if you are currently 3.0, use the 3.5 self-evaluation form, etc.)
  2. Review the form and honestly answer each skill as to your competency.
  3. Sign and date the form.
  4. Submit the completed form via email to the Evaluation Director or directly to one of the Directors or Coordinators, by the first Sunday of the month for the next evaluation period.
  5. An email confirming receipt of their request will be sent.
  6. Sign up online for evaluation to re-affirm intent to be evaluated which will provide options for play times.
  7. There is a maximum of 8 candidates per level.
  8. The Director(s) will email the candidate(s) as to when they will be evaluated according to the current regular club schedule.

*******THE EVALUATORS WILL NOT KNOW YOUR RESULTS. THE DIRECTOR(S) WILL NOTIFY YOU AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.*******

 

After Evaluation

  1. All forms will be turned into the Evaluation Director(s).
  2. The Evaluation Director(s) will send an email to the candidates to confirm their promotion or provide feedback for why they have not been promoted.
  3. If not promoted the candidate must wait until the following month for their next evaluation session.
  4. The Evaluation Director(s) will send a list of those being promoted to the Treasurer to update the member list and to the Social Director for posting on the board.

FAST-TRACK PROCESS

  1. Fast-track process will be used when a player is new to Tellico Village and already has experience playing and/or a rating from another location/club.
  2. Welcome the new player and inquire as to what level they believe they play. Explain to the player that TVPBC levels may or may not match what rating they currently have. (Mini orientation)
  3. Have them complete a Self-Assessment sheet. (follow guideline Prior to Evaluation: 1 above), and provide copy of their PPA or other rating if they have such.
  4. Once the self-assessment is completed, and the candidate feels they are at the correct level, they will play at that level.
  5. Set up a time to complete the Skills Assessment, Ghost Doubles and Level play.
  6. The Director(s) will send an email out to the players in that level introducing the new player.
