Each match consists of three sets.  Each player plays two sets of 11 games each set.  The winner of the match is the team with at least 17 games won.

A handicapped scoring system is used to keep socres even.  If you win the first game, then you begin the next game at 0-15.  If you then win the next game, you begin the third game at 0-30 and so on.

The competition winner will be the team with the most matches won.  In the event of a draw, it will then be the team with the most games won.

This competition is a great opportunity for adults who wish to get into tennis or get back into tennis after a break.  It is also a great chance for groups of friends or workmates to get out and have some fun.

The competition is split into two sections so there is ample space for players of all abilities.
