Spanish term

retrasar partidos de fase una vez ésta ha concluido

Spanish to English Marketing Sports / Fitness / Recreation Tennis regulations
Las fechas de las fases del campeonato se respetarán de principio a fin, no siendo posible retrasar partidos de fase una vez ésta haya concluido.

Maybe it is just me but this doesn't seem to make much sense.

Draft:
The dates of the championship phases will be respected from start to finish; it will not be possible to postpone matches...

Has. Sorry.
Noni Gilbert Riley Apr 2, 2007:
Nor to me. How can the phase have finished if all the games haven´t been played... Maybe James Calder or David Cahill have the solution for us....

see note

Adam,
It appears that they are stating that there is a strict time frame for games to be played during each of the rounds, and these games (if they have to be made up), must be carried out before the date when that particular round is scheduled to end...... That's to say, they may not carry over into when the next round would be starting.....
Just an idea anyway!
Best of luck!

change of sentence (please see below)

looks like this is to stop the "log-jam" of matches played by replay, so perhaps changing the sentence is necessary "matches will be finished that day" or "replays are not allowed", "matches will be played to the finish" etc...

games must not be delayed beyond the date on which the round is set to finish

i.e. games CAN be postponed but NEVER to a date later than that set for the specific round to be completed

Good luck!

Álvaro :O) :O)
