Doubles Circuit 2002

Supported by the "Rent a ball" scheme

Please read carefully before submitting your entry

Round robin groups followed by a knock-out competition all played with a sliding handicap.  Play will commence at 9.30 a.m.  Weather permitting group matches will be completed by 4.30 p.m. and the final played by 6.30 p.m. All players are asked to complete the group matches.

Entries

These events are intended for players of club standard.  Players may enter as many events as they wish but must prioritise their entry.  Individuals will be placed in their first three selected tournaments if space permits and then put on the waiting list for any others.  Entry may be included in these extra events if there is space on the closing date.  Entries will be accepted on a “first come” basis, but there is a limit to the number of entries that can be accepted at each venue.

Prizes

Prizes will be awarded to pairs reaching the semi-finals

Winners

Winners of each one-day tournament will qualify for the Masters event to be held at THE ALL ENGLAND LAWN TENNIS & CROQUET CLUB, WIMBLEDON on 9-10 November 2002.  Once a pair has qualified for the Masters those players are ineligible to compete in further one-day events in the current year.

Acceptances

One person from each pair will be contacted by fact sheet at least a week before each event.  Players who cannot be accepted for an event will be notified.  Players wishing for postal confirmation of their acceptance should enclose a stamped addressed envelope with their entry. Any player who has not been contacted five days before an event should telephone Jean Fyfe.

Conditions

All tournaments will be conducted under the Rules and Regulations of the Lawn Tennis Association.  Players must wear recognised tennis clothing and should check the fact sheet carefully to see whether or not coloured clothing may be worn – some clubs will have special clothing or footwear regulations.

All competitors entering these events must agree, as a condition of their entry, that no claims are brought against the organisers, with respect to any injury, however caused, or any losses incurred while travelling to or from, or participating in any BWTA event.
