The fifth Cambridge Real Tennis Weekend will take place at CURTC on the 8th and 9th May 2010. It will be an ideal occasion for supporters of Cambridge Real Tennis and University Alumni to renew and strengthen their connections with the Club. There will be two social events and a handicap doubles tournament for you to participate in.
The Handicap Doubles Tournament:
Tournament play will occur on the Saturday only. Pairs will be placed into one of two divisions. Doubles is usually more enjoyable when partners are of a similar standard, so we would ask you to organise your pairing with this in mind. Alternatively, you may request that a suitable partner is found for you. The initial round robin stage of the tournament will involve groups of three pairs. Each pair will play a set (first to six games) against the other two pairs in their group. The winners will go through to the knock-out stage of the tournament.
On the Saturday evening there will be an On-Court Dinner. This will be a combined Cambridge Weekend dinner and the Cambridge Club Dinner.
An extra opportunity
For anyone wishing to enjoy some more relaxed tennis, there will be some friendly doubles on Sunday morning with impromptu pairings.
