 Handicap Events

Rolling Handicap - Best of 3 sets if the score reaches 5 all, 1 more game played to determine a win. 

Both set of players begin the match at love-all.

The pair that wins the first game, starts the following game, (the 2nd game), at  -15, serving from the left-hand court.

If the same pair win the following game, they start the 3rd game at -30. (-30 is as high as the handicap CAN be.) serving from the right-hand court

If the same pair continue to win the consecutive games (4th – 5th games, they stay at -30, in all following games, until they lose a game. 

IF the pair with -30 lose a game they start the following game at -15.

Then, if the same pair at -15, lose the next game, both pairs, revert back to ‘love all’ and the process continues as previously described. 

‘Wins mean a minus in the next game up to-30’.

End of the set, its back to ‘Love All’, for start of the next set.
