- The leagues will comprise 5 or 6 players.
- Leagues will run for a period of 4/5 weeks. The leagues
will commence when the leagues are emailed out to everyone
and put on the ‘Adult Tennis’ notice board, usually around the
beginning of the month.
- It is the responsibility of all players to make an effort
to contact other players. For guidance, however, you should
endeavour to make contact with the two people below you,
i.e. player 1 contacts players 2 and 3, player 5 should
contact players 1 and 2 etc.
- Balls – The cost of balls will be shared between the
players. The player not providing balls will offer
compensation to the player providing the balls. A good
standard of balls is expected.
- The match format will be a pro-set (i.e. first to 8 games,
winning by 2) with a regular tiebreak at 7-7. Games will be
full games.
- Box positions will be determined by the points
accumulated. Points are awarded as follows:-
| Match Score |
Points Awarded |
| 8 - 0 |
20 - 4 |
| 8 - 1 |
19 - 5 |
| 8 - 2 |
18 - 6 |

- At the end of the round, players will be
promoted/relegated based on their placing in the group. The
bottom one or two will be relegated and the top one or two
will be promoted.
- If a game is arranged between two players and one does not
show up on the night and no effort has been made to forewarn
the player of the need to cancel the game then the player
turning up may either at his option claim 15 points The
absent player will receive 0 points.
- If a player plays no games he will have to reapply to join
the leagues after serving a one month penalty, at the league
officers discretion
- If you have any queries, or are unable to play, injured,
away on holiday or wish to skip a month, please email or
call me early so that we do not have inactive leagues as
this is unfair to the others.
- Inevitably there will be exceptions to the rules. Where such
situations arise the League Officer will have sole
discretion. However, should any players have any grievances
then initially contact should be made with the League
Officer via email.
New players are always welcome.
