tie-break can be played, which is to 10 points and you
need to win by 2 clear points.

If this is not possible then please arrange it at the
nearest date after it and LET ME KNOW so I do not give
a walk over.
● If your match has not been played by the date and I have
not heard from either player, then I will toss a coin for
who goes through to the next round.
● Finals day is on Sunday 17th September
● and if you are unable to play on this day, then you will
have to pull out at the semi-final stage, as all finals
MUST be played on finals day.
HOPE YOU ALL ENJOY YOUR MATCHES!!
