Outdoor/ grass 6-a-side tournament

Men's League - Div 1 / 2 - capped at 16 teams per division.
Mixed League - Div 1 / 2 / 3 - minimum 3 women on court at all times, capped at 25 teams per division.
Women's League - if fewer than 5 entries, teams will play in the Mixed divisions, with the highest-placed teams competing in a Women’s final on Sunday.

Outdoor/ grass 2-a-side tournament

This is an extra competition for 6v6 players who want some 2v2 matches, if time allows.

Men's | Women's | Mixed
Registration opens early Saturday afternoon, once teams have started finishing their 6v6 matches (weather permitting); closes before the final 6v6 rounds.
Entry fee: £16 per team, pay at registration. Each player can only compete in one league at a time.
Max 18 teams per division; first come, first served.
Teams must be ready to play when called. If a team is unavailable because their 6v6 matches are still ongoing or for any other reason, they may be skipped to keep the competition running on schedule.
Teams will be called via the PA system or WhatsApp group. It is the responsibility of each team to monitor both and ensure they are available when called.
As places are limited and scheduling depends on teams being available when called, no refund will be given for teams that are unable to attend when called.
