HANDICAPS EXPLAINED

  • If both players/pairs have plus handicaps take the nearest one down to 0 and the other one down by the same amount e.g. + 15 against +30 becomes 0 against +15.

  • If both handicaps are minuses do the same e.g. -30 v -15 becomes -15 v 0.

  • If pairs have the same handicap play a normal match. That’s the easy one!

  • If one handicap is 0 and the other is + or - play as it stands e.g. 0 v +15 stays as it is.

  • If one handicap is a + and the other a - you also play as it stands e.g. -30 v +15 stays as it is. The -30 would then have to win the first 3 points to get to 15 all. 

  • Some players/pairs have changing handicaps e.g. +30/15. This means their handicap is +30 in the first game then +15 in the second game and carries on alternating. If a +30/15 played a +15 the +30/15 would get a point start in the first game and then they would be level in the 2nd game and so on.

RULES

  1. Please note that both players or pairs are EQUALLY responsible for arranging matches. This is to prevent the situation where players were deliberately not contacting their opponents to try to engineer walkovers. Both players/pairs are now liable to be scratched if matches are not played on time. The player/pair who arrange the match must offer 3 dates to the opponents, at least one of them must be a weekend and at least one must be a weekday evening. After each match the winner(s) must input the result on the draw sheets on the club website.  Every year delays are caused because results are not written in. Players may be scratched if they do not write results in as it will be assumed that the match has not been played.

  2. The Tournament Referee is John Hall (E-Mail: Johnhallbltc@gmail.com, Tel: 07713951489). His decision in all matters is final.

  3. All singles matches other than handicaps will be the best of 3 sets with a tie-break at 6-6 in all sets. All doubles matches other than handicaps will be 2 sets with a match tie-break at 1 set all. All handicap events are 1 pro set (first to 9 games with no tie-break). At 8-8 the winner of the next game wins the match.

  4. The Men’s Singles events will be drawn ‘FA Cup style’ round by round.
