Simplified handicaps / More matches / Easier Matchplay

Our annual Gary Greenwood tournament is a fun mixed doubles social tournament open to players of all abilities.  Entering indvidually, your partner is chosen at random.  You are then assigned a handicap based on the strength of your pairing.  If we get the handicaps correct then everyone should have a chance of winning each match.  

If you are new to the club, it is a great way to meet other members.  For existing members, it is a chance to enter a tournament where everyone has an equal chance of winning no matter age, experience or ability.  

Changes for 2025:

- round robin group stage to ensure every pair gets to play a few games together.  The winners of the groups will go through to a knock out stage.   

- handicaps will be easier to understand this year

- support to reserve courts in advance for matches.  

- simpler match play

- assigned substitute if a player has to withdraw for injury
