Tennis

Grades

Competition will be conducted in Open A, B, C and D Grades and Year 4.

Players

Each team consists of two players (plus reserves). Year 4 players can play in a higher grade, i.e. A/B grade, at a schools/coaches discretion however the above parameters will be used (e.g. Year 4 playing in A Grade will use yellow ball on a full size court – See Sections 11 and 12).

Girls must provide their own tennis racquet and balls will be provided by the host school.

The Tennis competition is held on one day in zones. Zones will be determined with schools ranked according to the results of the previous year’s competition.

Where the draw allows, each school will play round matches and then semis and finals will occur between zones.

Results of the round matches will be calculated in the rest break so that the final two games (Semis and Finals) can be decided.

To determine the position of the schools for the semi‐final and final games, ties on points will be resolved by a count back of games.

Zone 1‐Schools who were ranked in the preceding year at 1, 4, 5, 8 & 9

Zone 2‐Schools who were ranked in the preceding year at 2, 3, 6, 7 & 10

If the signal is given during a game, the players complete that game.

The winning school for each match is the school, which scores the majority of games within the time limit.

If the number of games is tied, then a tiebreaker will be played with the first to reach 5 points will be considered the winner. Refer to 15
