• Refreshments will be provided

TOURNAMENT RULES

• Each pair will be placed into either group A or B
• You will play every other pair in your group round robin style (7 games total)
• Each round robin game will be played up to 21 points only (even if it goes to 20-20)
• The top 4 pairs from each group will move into the knockout stages
• The knockouts (quarters, semis & finals) will all be played up to 21, but the standard deuce rules will apply requiring 2 clear points to win, with a 30 point limit
• The semi finals and finals will be played on centre courts, so there will be chance to grab some extra games on the end courts if you didn't make it through to the knockout stages (however we will be stopping all other games for the finals)
• We have the courts booked until 16:00 and so need to be out of the hall by then. The showers and changing rooms will still be available for use after that.
