- "A drizzly evening in Edinburgh, though the weather was less of a distraction than the great tennis being played out in the final of a U-18 tournament on the next court. These impressive youngsters had their families and coaches filling the park benches usually occupied by the local topers, one or two of whom slummed it by standing to watch us instead. These guys probably watch more tennis than anyone else round here - I bet they'd make great Wimbledon pundits! Back on court, we had an enjoyable match. In this league I don't think I have met anyone as quick as Graeme in stepping up to the net to bury a volley way beyond my reach; it was never easy to find a way past or over him.

Scoring Information:
You earn one point for every set you win. Players who complete three or more matches by the mid-point of the round receive 2 bonus points, and a bonus prize (typically a free can of HEAD tennis balls). In doubles, matches tied at one set all may be completed with a matchtiebreak and still count toward bonus points. Bonus prizes must be claimed within 28 days using the link posted to the player's Account page. The link is also emailed to players.
