Organisation

  • Events are managed using the LTA Competition Portal.
  • The Portal holds the draws and players' contact details.
  • Players organise their own matches.  Please respond to match requests promptly.
  • With the exception of Finals Day, players provide their own balls.  They do not need to be brand-new for every match if you agree they are suitable. 
  • Players are responsible for emailing match results promptly to championships@odihamtennis.com.
  • If match cannot be played before a round ends, players should decide between themselves who progresses and register a "Walkover".  It is also possible to log an unfinished match as "Retired".

Only members can enter our Championships.  For the portal to recognise you as a member of Odiham, your account must have the tennis club linked to your profile.  See this section on the LTA website: "Managing Your Affiliated Venues"

 

Finals Day - 15th September

Please ensure you are available for Finals Day when you enter.  If you subsequently find that you cannot play, please contact championships@odihamtennis.com as soon as possible.  Depending upon the stage of the tournament, the Referee may reinstate the losing player from the previous round.

 

Court Booking

Entrants can book a court for 2 hours, up to 2 weeks in advance, when using the booking module on the website (not the app).  See the booking page for details.

Be considerate to non-competitors by ensuring that you only use this facility for Championship matches and that you cancel any unrequired bookings asap.  Access will be withdrawn if non-Championship matches are being booked in this way.

 

Incomplete Matches

If a match is not played by the deadline, players should decide between themselves who progresses.  If this is not possible, the outcome will be decided by the toss of a coin by the Tournament Organiser.
