Draws will be seeded and 1st team players will not partner each other in Doubles.
If there are unequal numbers of men and ladies for the Mixed Doubles, priority will be given to the earliest entries received.
Doubles Partners will be drawn at 9.30am at the start of the tournament and are then fixed.
The morning's play will be in two round robin pools, with a fixed number of games depending upon the number of entries received. One point will be awarded for each game won. Tie breaks will be used to determine the pool ranking if necessary.
There will be best of 3 set semi-finals starting no earlier than noon between the winners of each pool and the runners up in the other.
All finals will be best of 3 sets and will be played on 5th September.
Players should be at the club by 9.30am, with warm up from 9.45am and a prompt start by 10am.
The Tournament Organisers may vary these rules if circumstances require and their decision is final.
