Tournaments

The League Tournaments are played at Bramhall Recreation Centre, Seal Road, Bramhall.

The Open (November)

Open Section is open to all players
B Section  is open to players in Division 1 or lower
C Section is open to players in Division 4 or lower
To enter the SuperVets Section you must be at least 50 by previous 1st September.

The tournament is seeded and each match is the best of 3 (to 15 points except ladies singles which is 11) and you can set if you want to....


The Handicap (March)
Players must have played at least 4 matches for their club (this can be waived sometimes)
The tournament is not seeded and handicaps are decided by committee
To enter the Veterans Section you must be at least 40 by previous 1st September.
A match is the best of 3 games to 15 points (11 for ladies singles) no setting even if you want to.

The Paine Plate is played  by couples knocked out of the Mixed Doubles in the first round.
There is also a 'Family Mixed' event.

The Messer Trophy
Handicapped tournament played through out the season in two sections: 'A' for Premier and Divisions 1-3 and 'B' for the rest. Each mixed doubles pair only plays one game (to 21) instead of the usual 2, so the match is the best of 15.


The Midway Summer Tournament
Teams are composed of 4 players (2 men and 2 ladies). From what I can remember each person plays 4 games (2 levels and 2 mixed). A prize is awarded for the winning team and also for the team that came 'midway' up the table (get it???!)


Also, don't forget the Syddal club tournament on a Sunday December (23rd in 2007).
