Tournament formats

This year, the Ladies & Men’s Singles, as well as all three Doubles tournaments, will be drawn as Knockout Rounds. The Veterans Singles will be open to ALL members who are 60 or over in 2024 and will be played as a Round Robin Pool.

We are aiming to hold two Finals Days this year, the first on Sunday 21st July and the second on Sunday 8th September. Dates are subject to change because of weather conditions and the court re-surfacing. Tournament finalists are expected to be available for these dates if their final is scheduled to be played.

Deadline dates will be set by which each round should be played. Players are asked to play their matches by these deadlines to keep the tournaments on schedule. All participants should be pro-active in arranging match dates.

If you know you will be away for a considerable time during the summer months, please do not enter the tournaments this year.

Tournament Rules

Matches to be played as 2 normal tie-break sets (tie-break to at least 7 points, by 2 clear points), plus a Championship tie-break if needed (1st player or pair to at least 10 points, by 2 clear points).

All Finals to be played as 3 normal tie-break sets (tie-break to at least 7 points, by 2 clear points).

All games will play a ‘sudden death’ point on 2nd Deuce.

If a player is injured during a match and cannot continue, they must forfeit the match and their opponent(s) will progress to the next round. If a player cannot play the tie by the agreed dates, they must forfeit the match to their opponent (for Singles), or to a Lucky Loser (for Doubles) at the discretion of the Tournament Organizer.

The winning player(s) should send an email to the Tournament Organizer with the match result.
