MIXED VETS' LEAGUE INSTRUCTIONS & RULES
Format: Each pair to play best of 3 tiebreak sets against all other pairs in their division. If time is short and both pairs agree, a championship tiebreak can be played instead of a 3rd set. (First to 10 points, must be two ahead.) Sudden death at deuce.
Scoring : Two points per set. Only completed sets count so if a match is unfinished only the completed sets will score, or a new date should be arranged to finish the match.
Bonus points: An extra point is awarded if three matches against pairs in your division are completed by the mid-way point. Another point is awarded if you complete all matches in your division by the end date.
Challenges: Each pair may challenge a pair in the other division to a match. The pair in the lower division will earn 2 points for each set won, the pair in the upper division will earn 1 point for each set won. If the challenge match is completed both pairs will receive an extra point.
Injuries: If a player is injured during play and unable to continue the match they must concede that match and the points from the incomplete set/s go to the other pair.
Withdrawals: If a pair has to withdraw from the league, all match points won against them will be removed. Any bonus points awarded for completing 3 matches by the half way point will not be removed.
Match reporting: Winners to email the results to [email protected]. Please report the score even if the match is unfinished.
Winners: If there is a tie for top place at the end, set points are worth more than points earned playing matches. If there is still a tie, the prize goes to the pair who won the match between the pairs concerned.
Prize: The prize for the winning pair in each division is a can of balls per player.
