When.. Thursday Mornings from 09:45am. There are 2 competitions held each year, 1 in Autumn and 1 in Spring, each lasting approximately 14 weeks.
Where.. When entering, you will be placed in a team representing one of the Tennis Clubs within the B&DTA. Your home matches will be at your entered club and you will be required to travel when playing against teams from other clubs. Generally most teams are located in Wollongong's Northern suburbs.
Teams.. 4 Players are required each week, although teams should consist of extra players so that each player is not required to play each and every week and can take a week off when required.
Playing Standard.. This competition currently has 3 divisions and caters for everyone from the beginner/intermediate through to the reasonably advanced senior player . Any lady players are welcome in this competition, and grading is based purely on ability.
Playing Format.. The competition is comprised of 8 sets of Doubles. Each player will play 4 of these sets.
Scoring.. A team is awarded 1 competition point for each
set it wins. In addition, the team with the most games at the end of the allocated sets receives an additional 3 points.
e.g. If a team wins all 8 sets 6-0, they would receive 8 points for winning all 8 sets and receive an additional 3 points for winning the most games (48-0), thereby giving them a total of 11 points with the opposing team gaining NIL points as they won no sets and won less games.
What if I am not in a team?.. Most people playing in this competition don't enter as a team initially. By registering your interest through your local club (or through this web site), you will be placed in a team comparable to your ability and location.
