We hope to see you there!

1. Rain Delays
In case of a break in tournament play due to rain (or other), the tournament organizer
will notify players of their match time change.

2. Lateness Penalties
If a player arrives late to their match (15-30 minutes late) it will result in a game penalty
for the first set. (Opponent starts 1-0 up)

If a player is more than 30 minutes late, it is considered a forfeit and the opponent
receives a 6-0 6-0 win.

3. Line Calls (in / out), Let calls
All matches will follow the Tennis Canada Rules; each player is in charge of making the
calls on their side of the net only. (My side, my call)

In case of a dispute between players, either player is allowed to request a referee for
the remainder of the match who will supervise the players calls.

On a serve, if the ball skims the top of the net and lands “In”, it is the returner’s job to
call “Let” immediately. If there is no “Let” call made by the returner, the point must be
played.

4. Scoring and change-overs
Matches are won by winning either a) the first two sets or b) one set and a 10 point tiebreaker.

If you win the first two sets, you win the match.

If the first two sets are split 1-1 then the match will be decided by playing a 10 point tiebreaker and the winner of the tiebreaker will be the winner of the match.

To collect a set in the first two sets, a team needs to collect 6 games, and needs 2 more than the opponents. In case of a 6-6 score in a set, players will play a tie-break (see below).

During a match, players are to change sides every odd number of total games (1, 3, 5…)

5. Tie-break 
If the score is 6-6 in one of the first two sets, players will play a tie break. At the start of the tie-break, the player that was next up to serve will serve first from the right-hand side. After that first point is played and the score is (1-0), the next player due to serve (from the opposing team) will then serve for 2 points in a row starting on the left-hand side. From then on, the serve will switch teams and players every 2 points until a team has reached 7 points. A team must win by 2. Remember to switch sides every 6 points.

The 10 point tiebreaker is similar to the 7 point tiebreaker except it is to 10 points. All other rules apply.   

6.   Other
The player that is listed first in the draw, is responsible for collecting a can of balls from
the clubhouse, before their match. For example, if the match ups are written ‘Roger
Federer vs Rafael Nadal’ on the schedule, then Roger is responsible for collecting the
can of balls.

The winner of a match is responsible for reporting the score to the tournament coordinator.
