If you don't have a partner, please enter anyway and we will try our best to find you one. Thanks. TENNIS WINTER HANDICAP SINGLES Running alongside the Winter Mixed, we're pleased to announce the first Winter Handicap Singles Tournament. This is a new tournament so a quick summary of the rules: Handicap: your handicap will be based on your tennis league position. For example, players in League 17 will start EVERY GAME at +30, while a League 5 player will start at -40. There are NO SEEDS, since this should all be taken care of with the handicapping system. Matches: we would advise matches be 2 tie-break sets, with a championship tiebreak if 1-1. Everything else will be as you would play normally EXCEPT the starting score. EXAMPLES: - Player 1 (+15) vs Player 2 (-15): every game will start in the deuce court at 15/-15. Scoring could then go 15/0, 15/15, 15/30 etc as normal. - Player 1 (+30) vs Player 2 (-60): an uphill struggle for League 1 Player 2! Every game would start in the Ad court at 30/-60. The stronger player would then have to win 10 points to the other player's 2 to win the game, i.e. 30/-60, 30/-50, 30/-40, 30/-30, 30/-15, 30/0, 30/15... - Player 1 (-30) vs Player 2 (-30): an even match. We would advise 'netting' the score so that you start at 0/0 as normal. Draw: we will make the draw on 18 October so last date for entries will be 17 October. If you are already playing in the tennis leagues, you will be entered automatically. If you are NOT in the tennis leagues but would like to enter, please email graftonhandicap@gmail.com. If you are in the leagues but would like to withdraw your name, please also email graftonhandicap@gmail.com and we'all take you off the list! Any questions? Send them to graftonhandicap@gmail.com!
