Handicap rules 2019

MLTC Handicap tournament 2019.

Rules for 2019

Matches are to be played on the clay courts unless BOTH players/teams agree to go on the hard. (Please don’t forget to book online).

Matches are to be played over one long set, first to 11 games, (but two games ahead, e.g. 12-10, 13-11, etc., if necessary).

Single Point Deuce: Traditionally, single point, (sudden death), deuce has been used in MLTC Handicap Tournaments and should be used in the 2019 edition. It shortens matches and is a part of the basis of handicaps.

Implementation: If a game goes to deuce, the deciding point is played as follows:

Singles: the player RECEIVING Serve may decide on which side the point is played,

Men’s Doubles and Ladies Doubles: the RECEIVING Pair decide who will receive,

Mixed Doubles: service should be Man-to-man, or Lady-to-lady.

Winners MUST email results to Roy, (c.c. Tony), asap after the match has finished.

All players/teams should bring 4 balls of reasonable quality (new if possible) to the match. Cost should be shared if new balls or lights are provided by one player/team.

Note: If any matches have already been completed where the Single Point Deuce was not used, the results will stand.
