Rules for using the tennis courts

In order that every member can fully enjoy his sportive activities in the club, the operations of the CIT (like any other sports club) is based on fairness and common sense of its member. It is unavoidable for everybody to follow some basic rules, in order to preserve the quality of our infrastructure and to avoid excessive costs in its maintenance.

 

Rules for reservation of courts

  1. Only active memebers may reserve a tennis court.
  2. Persons with partial active memebership are not allowed to play during the following time intervalsö
    • Mo - Fri 12:00 to 14:00
    • Mo - Fri 17:00 to 19:00
  3. At the moment of the reservation, all participating players (2 for singles and 4 for doubles) must be present.
  4. Members which already have played during the day, only have the right to reserve another court 10 minutes before the playing time.
  5. The duration of a single is limited to 60 minutes, and to 70 minutes for the doubles.
  6. Before playing the players must perform the maintenance of the court either using the brush or the net available on each court for this purpose. If necessary players must also irrigate the courts.

Flood light

in case you need to switch on the artificial light you must follow strictly the following rules. The light bulbs are very expensive (800 CHF) and they are very sensitive to bad treatment like switching on and off in short intervals.

  1. floodlightJust press the button one single time. The bulbs need to warm up and the light will apear after some delay.

  2. Do not forget to switch off the light if you are the last player of the evening. This is also valid when you play inside.

  3. Please do not switch on the light for periods below 20min. The bulbs life expectation depends heavily on the number of power cycles they undergo. In particular it is harmful for the bulbs to be switched on shortly after they have been switched off.

 

Additional remarks

You can irrigate teh courts with the automatic installation on all outside courts (Just press the green button at the entrance of each court). But you should know that you will achieve a better result when using the jet instead of the automatic installation, since you will be able to irrigate the court more evenly (just remember to never point the jet downwards!).
