Competition Format
Primary  TBA
   
Secondary

Format:

Round-robin

Match Format:

The format of the competition will be a Split Round-Robin with cross over semis and a final between the winners of each pool if 6 or more teams, otherwise a Round Robin will be played

Points are to be awarded for the Round-Robin matches to determine the winners of each pool on the following basis:                                      

Win: 2 points      Draw: 1 point      Loss: 0 points

Should two teams finish the competition with the same number of points, the winner of the match between these two teams will assume the higher position.  If this match was a draw or if more than two teams were equal, then rubbers won, games won, points won and finally points percentage will be used.

When doing these calculations involving a three way tie, the convener should only include the results of the 3 teams tied NOT the results from the games with the fourth team. Please note when doing calculations in a two way tie ALL teams’ results are to be used!

Matches are to consist of 6 Rubbers, 4 singles and 2 doubles. Each rubber is to be the best of 5 advantage games to 11. 

After each 2 points have been scored, the receiving player or pair shall become the serving player or pair. In the last possible game of a match the players or pairs shall change ends when first either player or pair scores 5 points. If scores are 10 all a player must gain a lead of two points to win. After 10 service is changed every point rather than every two. In the last possible game of a doubles match the pair due to receive next shall change their order of receiving when first either pair scores 5 points.

Winners of matches will be decided on rubbers won. If teams are still equal, games will be used and if still equal points will be used to determine the result.  If the two teams in the final are equal up to game points a single game will be played between the no. 1 singles players to determine the winner

Teams to consist of 4-6 players. Teams are to be seeded for singles in order of ability 1-6. The rank order is to be adhered to and if a replacement player is required, players will move up a rank to fill the vacant position, and the replacement player will play in No. 4 position. Any pairing may be used for doubles. Players are restricted to one singles rubber and one doubles rubber in any match.

Hit-ups will be restricted to 2 minutes only.  Play must be continuous.  An ill or injured player must be able to continue within five minutes or the game will be forfeited

Players must wear the appropriate attire. White soled shoes only will be permitted in the court areas. Players must wear dark clothing. No checked or striped playing tops will be permitted. Watches, jewellery or reflective items are banned. Any player not appropriately attired, as listed, will not be permitted to participate in the Championship.

Players will toss for choice of either serve or end at the beginning of the rubber.

In the fifth game of a rubber (if required), players will change ends when the first player reaches 5 points.

In doubles matches, players are to hit to different players in the second game, and are to swap again at the half-way point of fifth game if it is played.
