4.4.2 If there is not enough time for a certificate of availability to
be returned by mail, the Selection Committee will obtain the required
information from the players by the most convenient means. In this
case, each player will sign his certificate at the event concerned
before participating.
4.5.1 Selection of players for the bi-annual World Championships will
be based solely on the ITS order, except in extraordinary cases of
illness or injury which prevent a player from competing or continuing
to compete in the team trial. The Selection Committee will also use
the ITS order as the most important criterion in choosing players for
all other international teams. The procedure for all selections by
vote is:
4.5.1.1Committee members may nominate available players who are on the
ITS.
4.5.1.2The criteria for selecting these players will include behavior
with respect to officials and other players, strengthening the team,
giving experience to developing players, decorum, participation in
tournament play, recent performance, etc.
4.5.1.3After conferring with other Selection Committee members, each
will list all nominated players in order of his preference.
4.5.1.4Each Selection Committee member will send his vote to the
chairman by a stipulated date.
4.5.1.5A player will be placed first if a majority of the voters have
placed him first. If no player receives a majority of firsts, a
recount will be made, counting second-place votes as firsts. If
needed, further recounts will be made, counting seconds and thirds as
firsts, etc., until one or more players receives a majority.
4.5.2 Within 15 days, the chairman will transmit the results to the
E.C. for approval. Having obtained approval, he will notify all
players who have returned Certificates of Availability.
4.5.3 All of the above actions will be completed at least 45 days
before the event.
