Dear Players,
Thank you all so much for your entry into this years Tinsel Tennis Tournament which will take place on Friday 12th December, 9:45am-12pm + lunch from 12pm! Here are just a few, last minute reminders.
Timings
- Play will start promptly at 10am, so please arrive from 9:30am to sign in with Beci, upstairs in the Mustill Lounge.
- There will be a short briefing to go over the rules and format at 9:45am
- Before the start of the 1st round only there will be 5 minute warm up. After each group has played their first round, there will be no more warm ups before you start your matches.
Format
- We will stick to the regular format of 6 rounds (3 rounds per group) 15 minute matches, with 2 groups (Group A & B) switching on and off each round.
- **NEW RULE** as our new rule seemed to work well last year, we thought we would keep it going this year too. THERE WILL BE NO OVERARM SERVES! Each player will have only 1 chance to get the ball over and in to start the point using an underarm serve. However – this can be ‘fed’ in and need only land on the diagonal half of the court (including tramlines and the back box) in order for it to be in. We hope this will help to speed up the points, and reduce the pressure on the server.
- Each game you play will count towards your final score, and the 2 players in each group with the most games at the end will play in a final to determine the winners
- Don’t forget your festive outfits, as we will be giving out a prize for the best dressed player!
Final Reminders
- Please remember that this tournament is a fun, sociable event where the main aim is to have fun and enjoy yourselves. We ask that you leave the coaching to the coaches, use only encouraging and friendly language and we hope to see lots of smiles on faces! We are also hoping to play some festive music down on court throughout the duration of the tournament to create an even cheerier vibe!
- If you can no longer make it, please phone the bar ASAP on 01753 830 820 so we can contact one of our reserves.
- If you have any issues on the day, please phone the bar on 01753 830 820
- If you are coming only for lunch, please ensure you arrive no later than 12pm as this is when we will begin to serve from. You are of course more than welcome to come down early to enjoy the tennis!
We look forward to seeing you on Friday!
Kind regards,
WLTC Competition Organisers
