About the tournaments
Club doubles tournaments
Two doubles tournaments are held each year, one in mid summer, the other at Christmas. One is held on a Saturday afternoon, the other on a Wednesday evening, over about two to three hours.
Teams are selected as balanced pairings, and are usually placed in one of two groups, playing all of the teams in the opposite group over a set period of time, usually around fifteen minutes depending on how many rounds are to be played.
Normally the top two teams in each group progress to a semi final, but if the number of players is low the winners of each group may go straight into a final. The semi finals and final are usually played as a 10 point tie-break (Championship tie-break).
There is a fee of £4 to enter the tournament. Trophies are awarded to all finalists.
Club singles tournament
Previously, a singles tournament was held each year around October whenever possible, however due to low numbers this hasn’t been held for a few years. If there is enough interest in the future this tournament may return.
The tournament was played over about three weeks, usually on a knockout basis, although depending on the number of entrants, the first round may be played under a different format.
Once the draw is made, players arrange the matches with each other at a time to suit them, and play a best of three sets match with a championship tie break played as a third set if one set each is won.
Trophies are awarded to all finalists. This tournament will only be held if a sufficient number of players enter.
Junior tournaments
