Golden Lane Tennis League: Scoring rules
Golden Lane is a city centre location ideal for short matches. We have adapted normal match rules to suit. Please follow these guidelines when playing matches.
MATCHES
Because the courts are not floodlit, and to allow people to fit a match into a lunch break, matches are a pro-set. This means the first person to get to 8 games wins. The set works like a normal set when the score reaches 8-7. That is, the player in the lead needs one more game to win the set (9-7). If the other player wins that game and the score reaches 8-8, a tiebreak is played. Deuces are as normal (ie if you get to 40-all, you have to win two consecutive points to win the game)
POINTS AND PRIZES
You get one point for every game you win. If you win on the tie break, the score will be 9-8, so the winner gets 9 points and the loser gets 8
If you complete THREE matches by the half way mark (WEDNESDAY 28 OCTOBER) you get FOUR bonus points and a FREE can of balls. If and when you qualify for balls, please send me your address so I can mail them to you. If no one is in during the day, it can be your work address.
