The Australian Open tournament is part of the ATP professional tennis tour. This tournament starts as soon as we have sufficient sign-ups. It is the ninth tournament in the ATP Doubles series.
Each round will be the best of 3 sets.
There will be 8 teams (16 players in total).
Each team must have players who both have < 2000 pts at the time of sign-up.
Players should join as a team. Players can post individually to advertise for a partner.[/b]
This will be a straight knock-out (bracket). All rounds will be best-of-three sets (games). Map and settings: Australia – doubles (obviously), automatic, sequential, chained. The first set will be foggy as players keep their tactics under wraps. As they work one another out, subsequent sets will be sunny. The first two sets will be escalating as tie-breakers may be required. The final set does not go to a tie-break and is therefore no spoils.
All players must have less than 2000 pts at the time of signing-up.
Players must have a 97% attendance record, have played a minimum 25 matches, and not have dropped out from one of my tournaments previously! Freemiums welcome, although beware that the tournament starts as soon as we have enough players and 3-games-at-a-time.
Players will have 24 hours to join their matches from when the joining PM is sent. Failure to do so will result in a reserve being sought (harsh, I know).
Players will be informed when they have a match and will have 24 hours to join. If they fail to do so then they will be ejected from the tournament and a reserve will replace them.
