Matches will be played on Saturdays, Sundays and Public holidays. A ‘Walk-Over,’ will be given after fifteen (15) minutes grace from the original starting-time provided, the allocated court is available.

Postponed matches, which are only allowed in extreme cases, must be played before the end of the tournament. Teams, who for special reasons postponed a match, are responsible to inform the organizing committee and consult with opponents to re-fix the Rubber and book a court on a weekday to play the encounter. Payment of court will be the responsibility of the team postponing the match. The team who first postponed the match from its original date will forfeit points, for matches not played by the end of the tournament.

Where teams finish with equal points, the winner of the direct-encounter will be declared the winner of the group. In the event that the situation remains one of equality, the difference between games won and lost, of all encounters, will be taken into consideration.

Team shown on the left-hand side of the fixtures must provide Tennis Balls, accepted to the opponents.
