Match results should be written on the draws in the clubhouse or sent via text to Ben on 07707353694.
There will be consolation draws for all the events except the U21’s. This will be for first match losers. So, if you lose your first match, check the draw as you will have more matches to play.
Court Allocations During the Tournament
The championships will be additional pressure on court requirements therefore normal activities will be restricted to allow fair access to the courts for tournament players, casual players, coaching and social sessions. The following measures have been put into place during the tournament period...
- Men's/Ladies Nights are reduced to 4 courts and 2 courts from 8pm.
- Coaching is reduced to 2 courts from 6pm.
- Team matches will not be rescheduled to play during the tournament.
- The advanced court booking period for members is reduced to 3 days. Unfortunately, courts booked by members in advance of 3 days of Saturday 19th June have been cancelled to allow tournament players the chance to arrange their match. If courts remain empty then members affected will still be able to book courts once inside the 3 day booking window.
