Rules

The Tournament Organisers reserve the right to default any player who they consider to be conducting themselves in an inappropriate manner. Players must:

• Behave in a manner that avoids bringing the sport into disrepute

• Respect officials and accept their decisions

• Refrain from the use of audible and visual obscenity

• Refrain from ball and racket abuse

• Not use unfair or bullying tactics to gain advantage on court. 

By entering the tournament, every player agrees to assist in refereeing one or more sports if required.

Please show respect for the time schedule! A 'Walk Over' will occur after only 5 minutes. Play should be continuous thereafter. If any player so wishes, sides are switched at the time when 11 points are first reached by one of the players. A maximum break of one minute should be allowed when 11 points is first reached by any player in each set.

Warming up at the next sport must commence within 3 minutes of the end of the previous set. A warm up must last no longer than 3 minutes.

Get your match cards at the desk before each game and return it after you have filled in the result. Balls etc. are included in the entry fee.

Each competitor should take all necessary precautions to minimise his/her own risk and is solely responsible for any loss, damage, personal injury or death suffered by him/her or caused to others parties as a result of any act, defect, neglect or omission by him/her.

If the tournament has to be cancelled or postponed for any reason, the organisers will only refund 95% of the individuals entry fees, if paid already.  The other 5% will be kept by the organiser as an administration fee.

Competitors must wear recognised tennis and squash clothing and shoes for all sports in the racketlon contest. Please avoid wearing white clothing for table tennis, as matches will be played with white table tennis balls.

The current world ranking will be used to compile the seeding for each category.

If you have not pulled out of the competition before the entry deadline you are committed, no matter if you show up for the tournament or not.

All players must inform themselves of the time of their first match by accessing the draws on this website.
