Our 2019 Tournament season is underway!
Dear members,
The 2019 tournament season is upon us and we wish to invite you to register. Below are the revised dates for our various championship tournaments as well as some information regarding these tournaments.
Mixed Doubles begins Thursday, June 6th, to the 13th. Registration closes June 4 at 6 PM
Ladies' Doubles begins Thursday, June 20th, to the 27th. Registration closes June 18 at 6 PM.
Men's Doubles will commence Thursday, July 4th, to the 11th. Registration closes July 2 at 6 PM.
55+ Singles (Men and Women): Thursday, July 18th, to the 25th. Registration closes July 16 at 6 PM.
Junior Tournaments: From Friday, August 23rd, to 25th. Latest sign-up date: August 21, 6 PM.
Ladies' Singles: Begins Thursday, September 5th, to 12th. Latest sign-up date: September 3, 6 PM.
Men’s Singles: Begins Thursday, September 12th, to the 26th. Latest sign-up date: September 10, 6 PM.
General information:
Participation is free!
Each player or team will play an opening match on either Thursday or Friday, at 5, 6 or 7
PM. If you are unable to play at 5 PM, please advise us when you register, and we will
schedule you at 6 or 7 PM.
The outcome of the first match for each tournament will determine whether teams or
players are streamed into the A or B (consolation) group.
Each player or team is guaranteed to play at least 2 matches.
If there are less than 5 teams registered, a round-robin format will be used.
All finals will be played on a Thursday evening in conjunction with the weekly BBQ.
Match format:
Except for the semi-finals and finals, all matches will be a pro set of first to eight games,
winning by two games. If the score reaches 7-7, a regular tiebreak is played, the winner
being the first to reach 7 points, winning by 2 points.
Both A and B semi-final and final matches will be two out of three sets. If tied at one set
each, the third set will be a “super tiebreak”, that is, the winner is the first to reach 10
points, winning by 2 points.
Rules:
Players are reminded that they are responsible for calls on their side of the net, and the
opposing player/team must accept their decision. If there is any doubt, normal etiquette
is to give the opponent the benefit of the doubt. Players should avoid replaying a point.
If a game is stopped due to failing light, the score will be carried over to the next day.
We will do our best to arrange for an umpire for the final matches.
These events are intended for full members. Club pros and social members are not
eligible to participate.
Availability:
Players should ensure that they are available for the full opening weekend of the
tournament. Small adjustments in match times can be considered but only if both
players/teams agree. Matches must be completed within 24 hours on the A side and 48
hours on the B side. Otherwise, the player/team asking for the delay will have to forfeit
the game.
We look forward to lots of participation to make these tournaments the most successful
and enjoyable ever at the RLTC!
If you have any additional questions, do not hesitate to contact any of the following
members of the Tournament Committee. They are also available to help you identify a
partner, as is our new, second pro, Zhenya Kondratovski.
