Our inaugural team handicap tournament kicks of on Tuesday with ten half hour singles matches. Every player has been given a handicap and we will use this “mash-up” to see how accurate they are prior to the team matches.
There will be a short briefing at about 6.10 to answer any questions, and we would appreciate as many of you being there as possible for this and also to spectate, score and heckle. The last match will go on court at 8.15.
Please see below your time slots, but not your handicap or who you will be playing. Please make sure that if you cannot be there from the start that you are changed, warmed up and ready to go on court when your time starts.
6.15 Sean O’Donovan, John Good, Mark Archer, Dave Wilson
6.45 Colin Tomson, Elisa Runo, Cathy Spalding, Norman Smith
7.15 Andrew Butler, Trevor Semadini, Alwyn Fernandes, Tom McCorkindale
7.45 Roger Tyson, Lee Divers, Dave Akehurst, Philip Carter
8.15 Alison Patridge, Matt Day, Michael Galvin, Jan Runo
Players will then become part of one of the four teams. Team A will play Team B on Wednesday and teams B and C play on Thursday.
Friday is finals night with the two winning teams going head to head and the losers from the Wednesday and Thursday matches try to avoid the wooden spoon.
The handicaps will be adjusted throughout the tournament…. You have been warned!
The rules.
The matches are timed, so there are no games, the person with the most points at the end of half hour is the winner. There is no separate warm up.
Any player at any time can have a breather or get a drink. (but not in the middle of a rally)
Do not hit your opponent with your racket or a ball. Also no barging, gouging, or swearing unless it is descriptive and humorous.
The lower handicap player will start on zero and the higher handicap will have a minus score.
It would be appreciated if someone would keep the score for the players on court. We are not looking for anybody to mark the matches, the players can sort out any lets themselves.
And of course, the totally inappropriately titled Tournament Director should be told who won. He will probably forget, so write it down and give it to a grown up.
There will be a “trophy” awarded to the winning team, although the word trophy does overstate what is on offer.
And finally have fun and offer your opponent a drink after the match. There is no need to hug unless the post-match drink is going very well indeed.
Any problem in playing on Tuesday please let me know by email, phone or text.
It will be a FUN week.
Kind regards
Philip
