  • From week 1, pairs are graded and placed on courts 1 – 12 in groups of eight, where each pair will play 3 doubles games.
  • At the end of each night, the pair who finished in first place (based on their wins, sets taken and points) is then promoted up a court and the losing pair is demoted down a court (obviously there are no changes made to the top and bottom groups). 

What are the fees for the roster?

The roster costs $50 per player ($10 per week charged in an upfront registration fee). Shuttles are available to purchase from the canteen for $3 each or $35 for a tube.

What if you need a fill-in?

You are required to find your own fill-in to play for you if you are unavailable to play on any given week. In the lightning roster, the STBA must be informed of who the fill-in is prior to games commencing on the evening, and it must be marked on the sheet for the night’s games. Fill-ins cannot be promoted, however they can still be demoted. Click here if you would like to register as a fill-in.
