Rules of Competition
1. A
match consists of 17 games with a short deuce in each game. When
playing a short deuce a female server has to serve to a female opponent
and a male server has to serve to a male opponent. All 17 games are to be played. The last game is always a tie-break.
2. If any team is 3 games behind their opponents they start the new game with a +15 advantage.
3. If any team is 5 games behind their opponents they start the new game with a +30 advantage.
4. If any team is 7 games behind their opponents they start the new game with a +40 advantage.
5. Each team is responsible for calling the ball on 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 Spring League.
6. Players are expected to play the game in a courteous and respectful manner.
7. If you cannot play your match it is your responsibility to arrange a sub. All member mobiles will be online and on a list in the light meter box for courts 1 and 2. If you have made a reasonable effort and still cannot find a sub then please contact the club captains Adrian Blakemore or Maire Dowdall for assistance. Alternatively if a sub is still unavailable then the match can be played on another night but before the following week's games. If it is not possible to arrange a sub or reschedule the match then the team who could not play the match at the original time loses the tie 10-7.
8. The tournament referees, Adrian Blakemore and Maire Dowdall, reserve the right to change the rules as they deem appropriate.
9. All scores are to be texted to the tournament referees on 085-1507484 promptly after the match is complete. No verbal communcation of scores will be accepted. The winning team has responsibility to communicate the match score.
