FLEXI-LEAGUE MATCH RULES

Enjoy your matches and be friendly and sporting please!

Match format, court booking and dealing with court time

For 1 hour court bookings we suggest a Faster Tennis Format which works as follows:

First to 2 sets wins

Sets are to 4 games

No Ad scoring all games go to sudden death with receiver choosing the side the server serves the deciding point from.

During set 1 or 2, at 3-3, tie-breaker played to 7 points, at 6-6 next point wins

At 1 set all a tiebreak to 7 should be played to decide the match and this must be won by 2 clear points.

This is the default playing format and court booking should be discussed and agreed by both players.

Longer format matches are allowed if both players agree and they can get a court for 2 or even more hours.

The players should equally split the court fees.

Player Safety

Safety is of great importance and we suggest that players check that the courts they have booked are safe to play.

If you feel that a court is unsafe please report to the company who manage them and if not known then report to us.

In the unlikely event that you have any safety concerns relating to your opponent, then you must report this to us through the contact section.

The Weather

If the weather is poor both players must agree if the match is to go ahead if they are outside.

Players must try and get matches played and not be put off by showers. If a player refuses to play in bad weather then the match must be rescheduled.

If a match is part way through it can be finished at another time from where the score was left, not restarted.

For a great idea of the weather download the RainToday App.

Tennis Balls

Players share cost of balls – I am able to supply Premium quality balls at £5 per 4 and any quantity can be bought. Organise ahead who brings and inform of cost.

Recommended pressurised balls: Wilson US Open, Head Tour, Dunlop Fort, Dunlop AO, Slazenger Wimbledon.

Many of these brands will produce cheaper ranges that are actually substandard and not great to play with, my advice is to avoid these.

Sportsmanship

All matches should be played in a good spirit with good sportsmanship at all times.
Please report any bad sportsmanship to us if you feel it is necessary.

Offenders of the rules will not be tolerated, and if any player persists in rule breaking after a warning from us, will most likely be excluded permanently from playing in competition.

Keeping the score

Both players should always keep the score. The server should call the score before each point starts.

Any disputes over the score, then the players must play from when they both recall the score.

Players must only call balls on their side of the net.

Calls can only be out, if a player is not sure then the ball counts as in.

Walkovers

Walkovers can be claimed by a player for the following reasons:

1) If their opponent retires during a match for any reason.
2) If their opponent does not turn up for a match for any reason.
3) If their opponent turns up more than 15 minutes late for their match.
4) If their opponent cancels the match with less than 24 hours notice.

Reporting Results

Players can enter results in the WhatsApp group where the admin will pick them up and enter them into the table promptly.
