The Match Format

Each match is six rubbers. Every rubber is scored on games, and the two team totals decide the result.

  1. 1Men’s Singles — Seed 1
  2. 2Men’s Singles — Seed 2
  3. 3Men’s Singles — Seed 3
  4. 4Women’s Singles
  5. 5Mixed Doubles
  6. 6Men’s Doubles

Add up the games won across all six rubbers — the higher team total wins the match.

Rules at a Glance

The essentials for captains — the full detail is on the scorecard.

Seeding

Men’s singles players must be seeded in descending strength order — Seed 1 the strongest, then Seed 2 and Seed 3.

Late penalties

  • 1 game forfeited for every 5 minutes late (per rubber).
  • 8–0 recorded for 40+ minutes late or a no-show.

Weather abandonment

  • 0–3 rubbers done: captains may agree to suspend and finish later, or let the current score stand.
  • 4 or 5 rubbers done: the score at that point is the final result.

Only completed rubbers are counted.

Recording results

  • The home captain loads the result to the LTA league site.
  • The away captain photographs the completed card for records.
