Rules of Play
These apply to all PPS and ECTT tournaments, unless otherwise stated on the entry form.
All standards and nationalities of player are welcome.
The planned format of all events is:
Bats will be placed on the tables and must be used for all matches. Swap bats when you swap ends.
Maximum of 36 players for Sandpaper, or 30 players for Hardbat or Wood. Places available on a first-come first-served basis.
Wild card(s) may be available, at the Organisers' discretion.
Matches are best-of-3 sets to 15 points (sudden death). Each player may serve one "double point ball" during the match. (Finals may be best-of-5-sets with 2 double point balls).
The Groups for the Sandpaper events will be combined. Up to six round robin groups, top players in each group go forward to the main knock-out **.
Main knock-out: Play-offs to reduce pool to 16 players, R16, QF, SF and Final.
** There may be a plate event for remaining players who are not in an age-group event, if sufficient demand.
