(i) No player has a "divine right" to represent the Club in competitive events. That honour has to be earned by showing total commitment and correct behaviour.

(ii) Our Club is judged by visiting teams on the behaviour of our players and the courtesy that they display. CTTC will not tolerate discourtesy to visitors under any circumstances.

(iii) A competitive team consists of 3 players and those 3 players chosen will remain as a unified team throughout the whole of the match. When not actually involved on the table, the other two players are expected to stay in the seating area and support their team mate.

(iv) It has long been a tradition of our sport that you apologise to your opponent for "lucky shots" (ie. Net cords, edges etc.,) and to not outwardly show anger when your opponent gains a lucky shot - it is all part of the game and such luck tends to even itself out. Such a tradition is paramount to good sportsmanship in the game and this club will maintain it.

(v) As in all sports, the umpire will be unbiased in decisions and that decision is not questioned by any player. When not involved on the table, ALL players will take their turn in umpiring a match.

(vi) When returning a ball, that has gone oft the table to an opponent, it must be done simply and correctly in order that the game may proceed. Slamming a ball back in anger or in such a way as to make it difficult for the opponent to retrieve is unforgivable behaviour.

(vii) Tantrums such as throwing a bat down, banging or kicking the table or verbal abuse of your opponent is displaying total disregard for the etiquettes of the game.

(viii) ALL CTTC team players must be gracious in defeat and congratulate their opponent. Win or lose - do not leave the playing area without

(ix) When playing a match at our home venue, the opposing team are our GUESTS and must be treated as such. Afford them the courtesy that guests deserve to ensure their comfort, well-being, refreshments, facilities etc.,

(x) When the match is completed you must ensure that all 3 members of the Club team are, under normal circumstances, present to bid farewell and to thank the opposing team for the match.
