Proposed rule changes defeated at Annual Meeting

At the annual meeting in May there was some spirited discussion on the following motions:
• Allow a let to be taken if a lob, once landing in the court, were to bounce out, over the screening.

• Allow a carry or double hit to be considered legal in paddle (currently illegal).

• Have the first server in a tiebreaker start from the deuce court ,rather than the ad court, which is now the case.

All were denied.
