Welcome to the 2009 Club Championship
The club championship is the
main competition in our annual schedule of events. There are many categories of competitions incl. advanced, intermediate and beginner/improver. Grading of players seeks to promote genuine competition amongst entrants and (hopefully) will make the championship
enjoyable for everyone. In addition events that have a large entry
will have a Shield competition for players who exit in the first round (details to follow). Members aged 14+ can
enter the open singles, doubles and mixed doubles competitions. Members aged 16+ can
enter the class B and class C singles, doubles and mixed doubles competitions.
Finals Day Order of Play
Finals Day will be held on Sunday and will start at 1pm. The club would be grateful if all attendees (and finalists) bring along one item of hospitality eg platter of sandwiches, cakes, snacks, drinks etc.

Club Championship Rules
1. A match consists of best of 3 sets, with full tie break in all sets.
2.
Every player/team is responsible for calling the ball on his/her/their side of the
court. If the ball cannot be called out with 100% certainty then the
ball is ruled to be in. Aggressive line calling is not in the spirit of
the Club Championship.
3.
Players are expected to play the game in a courteous and respectful
manner. There are to be no disputes. If you can't resolve a dispute
then play the point again with the server having two serves. In the unlikely event of trust breaking down between players please ask a committee member to act as referee.
4.
Once a match has started it can only be stopped and recontinued later
if all of the players agree. Inability to complete a match due to
injury or bad weather will cause a forfeit and the match result will be
given to the opposition.
5. Players involved in a championship
match can ask social players to move court or ultimately stop their
game if it is disrupting the championship match. Please ask any
committee member for help in this situation.
6. The tournament referees, Adrian Blakemore and Maire Dowdall, reserve the right to make rulings and change the rules as they deems appropriate.
7. All scores are to be communicated to a committee member so that it can be recorded on the notice board. If a committee member is not available please text the result to the tournament referees on 085-1507484.
