When you arrive, you will assigned given a tournament sheet. It shows your partner, opponents, court assignment for each of the rounds.

Match Play

• There are 7 rounds to be played, 4 games each. The first 2 and last 2 rounds are mixed doubles. The third through fifth are same gender.
• All matches are four [4] games, where each player serves once
• By default, a team serves two games then swap ends. By mutual agreement, teams can serve one game, change ends, then swap again after the third game,
• The Rossmoor Sun Rule (sun is to the server's back) is used. Each game won counts as a point.
• No-ad scoring is used for each game. First to 4 points, win by two.
• If the game score reaches 3-3, the receiving team decides who will receive the deciding point. This is Ladies choice:
  • i.e. men serve to men, women serve to women,
  • but the receiving team may choose to have a women receive serve from a man.

Report match results to the tournament scorer after each round.

OLD APPROACH [no longer used]

• Once participation is determined, a blind draw is made to determine partners/opponents.
• Fill in the Tournament Scoresheet with the players listed in the same numerical sequence as the Court Assignment form. 
• A rotation sheet is created and posted at the tournament. In addition, Wild Card players are given a laminated card with their partner's number and court to play on for each round. The rotation sheet will have opponents names.
• Assign men odd numbers (1,3,5 ..) and women the even numbers (2,4,6…).  The number a player is assigned on the Court Assignment form should match the number on the laminated Court Assignment Card the player is given on the day of the tournament
