The Rules for the Club Championship Matches 2024 are as follows:

● Matches are the best of 3 tie-break sets to 6 games
● A Tie-break is to 7 points at 6 games all
● At 1 set all, if ALL Players agree, then a champions
tie-break can be played, which is to 10 points and you
need to win by 2 clear points.
●Plate draw matches will be short sets to 4 rather than 6
●Handicap matches are just 1 set to 6, no tie breaks, 1 final game played if 6-6
● Matches MUST be played by the date above your round.
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 15th 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.
● All matches are subject to Lta and Club code of conduct regulations and fair play is expected at all times.
HOPE YOU ALL ENJOY YOUR MATCHES!!
