I want to play but don't have a team member:
Send us an email and we will try to find you a team or play as a reserve/freelancer
All my team members are injured/away/unable to play:
Teams are able to source players who are not on their team but only during the round stage, not the semi finals or finals. You may also be able to find a player on our reserves page. For further info see our rule page
How do I report scores?
Use our scoresheet which can be found in the Forms section of our website
How does the scoring work?
Teams receive 1 point for each set they win.
Team wins the match on the day if they win more sets than opposing team and the winning team receives 2 bonus points.
In the event where both teams win an equal amount of sets, the team with the higher game total will decide the winner. In the event of equal sets and equal games, the match will be a draw and the 2 bonus points will split.
Unfinished sets (not to be confused with forfeited sets) eg run out of time will split the point for the set (eg both teams will receive 0.5 points). Winning teams have the responsibility of submitting the scoresheet by Monday 7pm (the next day of the match) otherwise they may be penalised the 2 bonus points.
Wet matches give both teams 3 points and 12 games each. Home team is responsible for submitting the result.
Teams winning by forfeits receive 6 points and 24 games. Winning team is responsible for submitting the result.
Bye matches give 0 points and 0 games. Teams do not need to submit a result
