Some rule additions since last time

  • In case 2 or more players are tied on the same no. of wins after the RR league then winning % in games played in all sets will be counted
  • In case a player concedes a match mid way the opponent will be granted a victory + the game in which the person defaulted (irrespective of game score at that point in time) will be awarded to the winning player
  • In case a player concedes a match before the start of the set, the opponent will be granted a victory only but he will not get a winning differential (this is as per ATP rules)
  • If a player's racquet strings break in mid match he can opt to use a spare or borrow from another player. He will not be allowed to stop the match. However he may request a slight rescheduling of the next match in order to be able to restring his weapon
We are working on a points award system for this tournament which will enable us to arrive at a basic ranking system - this will help us identify seedings when we play next on the tour.

As usual this is a first, so all suggestions/recommendations/advise is welcome --- criticism is not!!!!

Cheers

PS --- ill open the betting counter a week before the match - Haresh will release odds and everyone else and his uncle are welcome to take a punt (REAL MEN DONT PLAY, THEY PAY - so keep the cash handy guys - this is for real)
