It is with great sadness I write this. Oscar Vaotuua passed away this morning. Oscar was a happy and friendly guy who was loved by everyone who met him. He was a great competitor and will be missed by all.

It is with great sadness writing this after hearing of the passing of Enzo Pieropan. Enzo was a DDPL member for many years and a big part of the Freccia Azzurra Club. Enzo was a happy and friendly man and loved playing pool. A very fierce opponent for many. Enzo will be greatly missed by all. Thoughts are with Anna, Tanya and Lisa xxx

Electronic Registration

Once a player is selected in a team for a club, they will receive an email requesting they log-in to the database portal, alter their details if required and confirm them. When this is completed, they are an “active” player and available for competition. If there is a check box with a tick next to the players name in the Team List Page of the database portal, this shows the player has confirmed their details.

If the player has any privileges to access the database portal other than as a player, they will be asked after they have logged in, if they wish to proceed with player log-in. They will need to do this process once to confirm their details as described above

Clearance – If a player is selected and they require a clearance, the clearance required check box will be ticked. When this page is saved an email will be sent to the Club Administrator of the previous club the player was registered with.

This Club Administrator can then accept or deny the clearance request. If the request is accepted the check box with a tick next to the players name in the Team List Page of the database portal will then be unticked, this shows the player has been cleared from their previous club.

Any player that does not have an allocated point score is required to fill in and submit a registration form.

Registration electronic and on paper need to be completed before the end of February to be eligible to receive the registration fee discount.

Email Address – If a selected player does not have an email address listed, the email OK check box will be unticked. It is then the responsibility of the Club Administrator to obtain an email address from the player and send this information to secretary@ddpl.net.au to have the email address added and the confirmation email sent to the player.

If the check box on the Team List Page is showing the players details have not confirmed, this can be due to an incorrect or missing email address.

Team Nomination and Membership Forms

Reminder: Tomorrow is the deadline to supply the Team Nomination and Club Membership forms. They should be submitted to secretary@ddpl.net.au
