• NOTE: The mixed doubles team may be created from the qualified ladies and men’s doubles, or can be a separate mixed doubles entry. If two players from different age categories in singles join to form a team in doubles, the age of the younger player of the team will determine which age category they will compete in.

RULES INFORMATION:

1. A round-robin format will be used. Depending upon the number of provinces/territories entered, either a straight round robin with no playoffs to follow, or a two-pool round robin with subsequent playoffs between the top two pairs in each pool will be used. If the tennis tournament needs to be shortened due to weather or any other reason, it is recommended that the format be changed to a Best of Three with no add scoring. If it goes to three sets, the third set is the Super 10 point tie break.

2. Three set matches will be played, with the best two-out-of-three sets winning the match.

3. Medals will be awarded to the top three doubles in each division, and mixed doubles.

4. The Official Rules of Tennis Canada shall apply.
