Singles & Doubles Summer Competition 2025

The competition draws have now been completed, and have again been decided by utilizing a pseudo random number generator. This seemed the quickest method to get things underway, I’ll explain how this works to anyone that wants to know, but won’t include it here.

The number of entries registered for this year’s competitions are as follows: –

Entries for the Doubles competition are 23 Teams
Entries for the Singles competition are 30 Players

Consequently, there are 1st round byes in the singles competition for 2 lucky people and 9 for the doubles.

Main Singles & Doubles Competitions

They are both straight knockout competitions, with the winner moving on to the next round. I have split each competition draw over 2 pages (Top & Bottom half of draw) for size and printing convenience.
Both competition draws will be posted in the club shed and as matches are played, winners names can be entered on the corresponding draws sheet. The format will allow for branches of each competition draw to progress independently.
The competitions should progress quickly as to reach the final of either requires a maximum of only 4 matches to be played.
It is the responsibility of the teams/individuals themselves to arrange a date on which the game can be played, bearing in mind the “Must be completed by date” shown on the draw. Failure to have played the match without a good reason, may mean that the individual or team causing the issue could be disqualified. There is ample time to complete each round (3 – 4 weeks).
Please bear in mind these are intended to be friendly matches, so provided there are no knock-on effects, a little flexibility will be allowed.

Plate Singles & Doubles Competitions

This year I have been asked to provide a “Plate Competition” for both Singles & Doubles competitions. Consequently, those knocked out in the 1st round of each competition will be automatically entered into the Plate competition.
Due to byes for some entrants this will mean the following: –

For the Singles Plate competition there will be 14 players entered and 2 byes.
For the Doubles Plate competition there will be 7 teams and 1 bye. So, for the doubles each team will be effectively entered directly into the quarter finals stage.

Time scales for the Plate Competitions, will be the same as that of the main competitions. All the points made under the main completion heading also apply. e.g. Arrangement of matches.
