Turbo Tennis – 10th February 2013 – 1:30pm

Background

On the 10th of February, at 1:30pm, Turbo Tennis returns to ELTC!

What makes Turbo Tennis turbo? (The rules!)

10 minute halves: After exactly ten minutes, a whistle will sound. You then swap ends and play another ten minute half. If you’re mid-point when the whistle blows, you finish the point, but not the game. At the end of the second half, you only count complete games e.g. 4-3 (0-40) is a 4-3 win.

Sudden death deuce: At 40-40, it’s next point wins. The receiving team choose who wants to return and whoever wins the point, wins the game.

Lets count on serve: Those serves that clip the net and roll into the service box, usually resulting in a first serve again, they now count as aces!

No time wasting: This is exactly what it says on the tin! Get the points in quick. It could come back to bite you later on!

No whites: An optional rule, but the more vulgar, bright and outrageous the colours you wear on court, the better. And also the more likely you are to put off your opponents!

There will be food and cakes for after the tournament too! It’s £5 to enter.

“How do I sign up?” I hear you scream. Just drop your name under this post here, send an email to enfieldlawntennisclub@gmail.com or drop your name on the sign up sheet in the clubhouse.

Look forward to seeing as many of you there as possible, Turbo Tennis is always a great day!
