This is how it works:
- Players are organised into groups of between 5 to 9 people of a similar standard
- It is a mixed sex, singles league, so men and women play each other
- Groups are put together by standard and there can be any combination of men and women in a group (we do not guarantee a balance of men and women and you could be the only man in a group of women or vice versa!)
- Contact details are emailed and posted to each player's account page
- Players arrange their own matches
- You can play on any court that suits both players
The league is:
- For everyone over the age of 18
- We welcome beginners as well as advanced players.
- Don't worry that you won't be good enough - playing matches is the best way to improve, and we use an online questionnaire to assess people's ability so you play only people of a roughly similar level
- Affiliated to the LTA For adults aged 18 years and above
Key points

Thanks for taking part in another competitive round in Aberdeen where there was a good number of matches played and some very tight tussles for the group crowns too. Hope to see you all next time for more tennis throughout the summer months!
Group Summary:
Oluwatosin and Attila once again found themselves battling it out for top spot in group one, and as was the case in the last round it ultimately all comes down to the match between the two. This was "an epic match lasting over 2hrs which had everything" and in the end it was Oluwatosin who sneaked through with a 4-6 6-2 6-4 victory to turn the tables on Attila this time - well played both. Hats off to Ryan too for making it onto court for the most matches!

Group Summary:
A very busy group two with nearly every match played and the majority of bonus points earned too - thanks for your efforts everyone. Matt's rise up the ranks continues as he won six out of six for the second round in a row to earn a promotion to group one next time. Adnan wasn't far behind the new champ, starting quickest to win the first set in their head to head, but he ultimately comes up a little short and finishes a point behind in second this time. Well played all.
