This will be part of a series of American tournaments which are designed to be a bit of fun with a small competitive edge.

  • 1 player from Group G will play with a player from Group L, players can only play with players from the opposite group,
  • A set will consist of 8 or 6 or 4 games, depending on numbers,
  • Both players gets a point for each game they win and the games get adjusted over the months to match.
  • Partners change after each set.

Hopefully the weather will be ok on the day and look forward to seeing you there.
