2015 OTA U10 TDC CUP

offered to provincial Tennis Development Centre’s across the province offering
an opportunity for clubs to enter a team of two boys and two girls born in
(2006, 2007). The event had a total of
12 teams with 4 players per squad for a total of 48 players. Judging by the smiles in this photo a good time was had by all.
Format:
Each team played one another in their round robin group,
playing a total of 3 teams during round robin preliminary play. All matches consisted of two girls’ singles
matches and one girls’ doubles match, two boys’ singles matches and one boys’
doubles match for a total of 6 matches.
Each match was timed at 40-minutes with no ad scoring on full court with
the green ball; players played as many games as possible in the 40 minutes;
each game won counted towards their teams total; thus, a team’s total score was
accumulated of the total games won from the six matches played. The round robin result’s during prelim
competition was determined by total games won per team. Teams were then reordered and placed in
championship/consolation flights based off their team result.
