Shield Competition
Registration/Grading starts 6pm Wednesday 12 October 2022
Tremains Shield night is an in-house competition run during term 4 and term 1 (summer) for club members only, on Wednesday nights starting at 6pm. The format is fast four, with a tie breaker at 3 all, and a super tie breaker at 1 set all. The nights are generally finished by 8.30 -9pm, with the bar being open to cool off after your matches and catch up with other players.
There are 5 teams of 6 players, ranked from 1 – 6. Players in the top 4 play a singles and doubles, players 5 and 6 play two matches of doubles. With this format all matches are intensely competitive, with all levels of players being challenged. Juniors are welcome to test their ability as well.
The beauty of having 5 teams is that one team has a bye each week and can be used for reserves if needed. There is also a list of players who are unable to commit to weekly play and can also be used as reserves.
We also have the ability to challenge someone ranked higher than you if you feel you would like to move up the ranking table.
Thanks to our main sponsor Tremains Real Estate, we have good quality balls (Slazenger) each week. Also other sponsors, such as Wairakei International Hotel, Mark Redgate, Qualified IT, and Flooring Design have enabled us to have an awesome prize giving at the end of the series.
Interested players need to contact Marta 027 564 8122 or Andy 027 597 3535 to register their interest.
