Unfortunately it has now been confirmed that there will be no league competitions this year. We also have the lockdown rules in place, meaning that we can not yet gather to play one of our annual tournaments. Therefore, we are planning to organise a new competition that will span over the next few weeks.

We cannot give you all the details until we know how many entrants we have. However, the initial details are:

Pre-organised doubles partnerships; mens, ladies or mixed
Any level of ability of player
Open to all full adult or student members
A knockout competition with the losers in the first round going in to a plate competition, and losers in the second round going in to a bowl competition
Depending on the number of pairs entering, it may be split in to two tournaments
It will be a one set match. Normal rules apply (not Fast4).
Matches for each round will have to be played within certain dates

If for any reason you cannot organise a partner but would still like to play, please reply to this email and we will try and pair up members of a similar standard so that you can enter.

Most importantly, this is a fun tournament, it is not about winning. That is why we are hoping to have three competitions in one so that everyone gets at least three matches. For those who usually play in the teams, it is a chance to play some competitive doubles again. For those that are new to the club, it is a chance to play with and against some other members of the club that you may not have met before.

In order to get this up and running we will need teams to enter as soon as possible. Therefore, we would appreciate it if you could reply to this email with your pairings by Saturday 11th July.
