1             Overview

For 2025, the Club Championships will be played out during the season in 6 knockout categories (Singles – Men’s and Ladies’; Doubles – Men’s, Ladies’, Mixed and Over 55s Mixed doubles).  All double pairings (except the Over 55s) were self selecting, wherever possible, with any single entrants paired up by the Internal Convenors (James and Tom).

Finals day for all categories will be Sunday 21st September, with Sunday 28th September for backup incase of weather issues.

2             Knockout Format

Each category will have 4 seeded players/pairs placed appropriatly in the draw, everyone else will be drawn at random.  

The rules for the matches are:

1. Leagues commence on 8th April.
2. Completion date for each round can be seen on each of the draw sheets.
3. Matches consist of 2 normal sets; if a draw, then a third set is to be played as a championship tie-break (to 10 points with two points clear) to settle the match.  Score recorded as 2-1 if championship tie-break or 2 – 0 if straight win. If there’s a tie in the number of ‘sets’ players win, then the head-to-head score of that match will decide final positions. 
4. Both entries are responsible for arranging their matches with walk-overs being awarded on the adjudication of the Playing Convenor if one or both entries refer for advice/judgment.
5. Entrants to supply their own balls; club balls are not to be used except for the Finals.
