Dumfries Sports Club

The first American doubles took place on Sunday. The intention is that this will run for 6 months with a winner at the end and an updated table each month providing it is played.

The first set of results can be found on the American Doubles page here.

Dumfries Tennis Club will be running an American (mixed) doubles event on Sunday 28th April from 12pm to 2pm or there abouts. This will be part of a series of American tournaments which are designed to be a bit of fun with a small competitive edge. There will be 5 or 6 events over the summer, depending on weather, with an overall winner after the last event. You can choose to play 1 event, 2 events or as many as you want to. The more you play and the more you win then the better chance you have of winning the trophy.

The basic American Tournament rules are;

• Each player on the day will be placed into 1 of 2 groups i.e. Group G and Group L,
• 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.

Dumfries Tennis Club singles box leagues are now supported with the LTA’s software program.

The new league set-up will allow all players to check out what other players are doing with regards to results. The ability to check how a player has performed in previous months is also an option that players can use.

The club is keen to push this further and hopefully add the junior leagues into the same format early next year and possibly have the club league matches counting towards the LTA ranking points.
