The Tournament

This tournament has been designed to confuse! The aim is to see how well you can play at short notice with someone who you probably only normally see on the other side of the net.
Entry is open to mixed pairs only.
Players may partner any other player irrespective of club or team.
Although you enter as a pair, you are really playing as an individual.
You will play with an assortment of different partners (including the partner you entered with).
The aim is to score as many points as possible.
Handicaps are assigned to individual players (NOT pairs).
The winners are the individual man and woman with the most points.
Total points scored plus handicap determines final positions.
