Competition format:
We are hoping to play a
round robin format for B1 and B2-B5’s events. This will be determined by the
number of entries and will be confirmed nearer the time. We aim to have a schedule
of play available one week prior to the tournament. We expect this event to be
popular. In the event of having to restrict numbers, preference will be given
in order of receipt of entries.
Tournament rules:
B1 players must wear eye
shades. These will be inspected by the umpires before play starts.
B1 players will be
allowed up to 3 bounces, B2 up to 3 bounces, B3 up to 2 bounces and B4/B5 one
bounce.
Dress code:
White tops must be worn
by all players.
Catering:
A packed lunch will be
provided for players, umpires and volunteers. Please bring your own water
bottle.
Volunteers:
Additional support makes a big difference by helping
us deliver a great tennis tournament for all. Please let us know of any
volunteers/umpires who are free to help along with any family, friends and
colleagues who may also be able to assist on the day.
