Organisation

  • The leagues are managed using the LTA Competition Portal 
  • The Portal holds the players in each Group and their contact details (click on name to display). 
  • Players organise their own matches and provide their own balls
  • Match balls do not have to be brand new for every match as long as you agree they are suitable
  • Players are responsible for posting results on LTA Portal

Only members can enter our box leagues.  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"

 

Unplayed Matches

If a match cannot be completed before the Round ends, players should decide between themselves what to record.  Click here to for instructions.  There are 3 options:

  1. Walkover - rewards players for making the effort to play without diluting the points of players who earn a win
  2. Not played
  3. Retired

If no result is recorded, the Organiser may need to decide an outcome by the toss of a coin.
