STC Chair’s Mixed Doubles Handicap Event Sunday 7th July

Dear Member,

This is an invitation for you to join in the funday of July 7th by entering the Chair’s Mixed doubles handicap event.

By handicapping each pairing based on their known ability, we hope to provide an event where the outcome is hard to predict so that even the least experienced players have a serious chance of winning.

The format will be based on a simple knockout competition with a plate and possibly Superior plate dependant on numbers.

Each entrant will be playing at least 3 matches based on two 7 game sets 9 ie first to 4 games, with a match tie break if both are 1 set each. Also if deuce goes beyond 2 deuces you play a golden point on the third deuce.

Handicapping will be from -30 to plus 30 with that handicapping being applied to each game. Matches will start around10.30am with the finals being played around 1.00pm. We will be using both Astro and hard courts with players being asked to play on both surfaces during the event.

Entry will be free of charge. With prizes being given to both Winners and Runners-up in each competition.

This is an ideal opportunity to get some fun competitive practice in for the club tournaments either with your chosen partner or if not we can find a partner for you. But importantly anyone can win.

Please sign up as soon as you can as places will be limited to a first come first served basis.

Please sign up by emailing  to the STC events team at Southseatc.events@gmail.com

We very much look forward to seeing you on the 7th of July for what promises to be a fun day of Tennis

Yours in Tennis

Tim and the STC Events Team
