events. This can be obtained on line at www.lta.org.uk/membership. It is free of charge for
members of LTA affiliated clubs.

Players are jointly responsible for matches to be completed before or on the “play by date”
shown on the LTA competitions website. Failure to complete matches by the “play by” date
will result in one or both competitors being defaulted.

Matches will be the best of three full tie break sets.

For the first round of each event (including if both players have a bye) the top named player
will have choice of venue. A player with a bye awaiting opposition will have a home tie if

Walkovers will be treated as where the match was meant to be played. Home advantage in
subsequent rounds will be given to the player who first reports their result.
