Rules & Regs

 

 Scoring rules

  • Matches are the best of three tie-break sets
  • The winner of each set wins 1 point
  • An additional two points will be awarded to players who have completed three of their matches by the half way point. This is to encourage play
  • Players who have paid their subscription fee will also get a FREE can of balls for completing three matches by the mid way point.
  • The player with the most number of points at the end wins their group.
  • In cases of two or more players with the same number of points, the player who beat the other during that round wins.
  • Where possible, the top one (or two) players in each league will be promoted to the league above (if there is one). Similarly, the bottom one (or two) players will be relegated.

How it works
When we have everyone signed up for a round you will receive contact details for players in your group. You will contact each player, by email or phone, and arrange a mutually convenient time and place to play your match. Easy!
 
If you complete three matches before the midway point you will receive a FREE tube of tennis balls and two free bonus points. Group winners will win £20 or a FREE coaching lesson.
 
Important: No one at this site or connected with the League can take responsibility for the safety or security of players whether playing on the Kennington or Brockwell courts or elsewhere. Players compete at their own risk and are solely responsible for court hire, tennis ball provision etc.
 
What if?

If it rains before the match starts, the whole match must be re-scheduled
If it rains during the match... either player may decide to call a halt to the match, but the match must still be completed. Matches should be re-started with whatever the score was when play stopped. Players must share any additional court fee. If re-scheduling becomes impossible, the score can be reported as final if both parties agree
If a player retires injured, he or she loses the match - it cannot be re-played.
If a player does not turn up at the agreed time, or is more than half an hour late, he or she forfeits the match.
If one or other player decides they don't want to play a match they can not offer a walkover to the other. That is, for points to be awarded a match has to be played
