- All players are responsible for arranging each match
- If there are truly exceptional circumstances and a mutual agreement to a date just beyond the play-by date can be reached, one of the captains should be contacted for a deferment
- Please also contact one of the captains if your only option is to play a match during a club session (which should be avoided as a courtesy to others)
- If it is not possible to arrange the match in good time, try to negotiate a walk over for one pair, based on which pair has made themselves most available to play or alternatively a coin will be tossed to determine which pair goes through to the next round.
- If the captains have not heard from the players, and no result is recorded, they will toss a coin to determine who goes through.
- At semi finals stage, should the winning pair NOT be available to play on finals day, the committee have the power to reinstate the losing semi finalist.
