NationStates Jolt Archive

Wilbury is a complex of Tennis courts located in the STA Patrick Willis Tennis Centre, the competition is played on Hard Courts in which there are 34 all together.

The Categories to be played are Mens Singles, Womens Singles and Doubles Mixed. I would add other categoies but would find it harder work to scorinate otherwise.

A player wins a set when he/she wins at least six games and at least two games more than his/her opponent. When each player has won six games a tiebreaker is played. A tiebreaker, played under a separate set of rules, allows one player to win one more game and thus the set, to give a final set score of 7-6. The rules of a tie-breaker are, when a player wins a point he/she gets one point (Instead of a typical 15). The winner of the tie-breaker is decided when one player wins by at least seven points and leads by at least two points.

This IS a serve and volley competition.

To sign up please fill in a form with the following rules:

1. Maximum of Two Players per Country per Category

2. Each Player will be graded in the followng attributes:

Serving (How well the player can Serve to the opposing player)
Returning (How well a player an return a serve)
Speed (How quick a player can move)
Power (How har a player can hit the ball)
Accuracy (How accurate the player is)
Preferred Surface (Which surface a player is more comfortable on, Hard, Clay or Grass.)

3. Each Player will have 35 Points to place in each of the attributes with a maximum of 10 per Attribute apart from favoued surface.

Sign-ups finish whn i feel there are enough players

Categories:

Mens Singles (2 Per Country)
Womens Singles (2 Per Country)
Doubles Mixed (1 Double Per Country)

I will post a stage program when the sign-ups close

rebump...

um sol how exactly are you counting everything?????????

ok... The Mixed Doubles Sign-ups are closed, any ideas on the singles competitions? we kind of could do with 16 competitors instead of 17 and 18

Or just leave signups open a few more days. The most signups have occurred in the last 24-48 hours, have they not? ;)
Don't stop the momentum!

sounds good.

I assume you don't need extra players... you sent me a TG. I just came back from vacation, so I just got it.

The Secristan Department of Sports has decided that we will participate in this competition. Secristan tradition is that we do not send the best players to compete in these world tournaments. Instead, the spots are bid on and the highest bidders get to compete for the country. That said, these aren't just bums off the street. For bids to be valid, they must be between 18-38, pass a vigorous fitness test, and have played at least one full year in the sport they are bidding in at a competitive level.

Here are the highest bidders:

News has just reached us that our tennis federation are sending our two champion tennis players to this year's Wilbury Championships.
With our Football team preparing to take part in the Oxen Cup this looks like a bright beginning for our young country's sporting stars.

Here are the profiles of our two champions:
(as a young nation we're not sure my tennis players should be as good as everyone else's so we've only scored them out of 30 points, should the organisers wish to score them out of 35 please just add 1 to each category)

James Dodger
Men's Champion
Age: 20

Mary Jones
Women's Champion
Age: 23

Speed: 6

Rumours abound that our men's runner up may receive a late call up (to make up numbers)

David Jones (Mary Jones' husband and doubles teammate)
Men's runner up
Age: 28
Serving: 7

If the organisers have room for a mixed doubles team then Mary and David Jones would form an interesting partnership.

ok... there's still room for 6 more men, 4 more women and 3 more doubles.

The athlete chosen to uphold the honour of The Grand Duchy of Punta Gordina in this year's tournament will be:

If we're going to just miss out by a few, could we just use first-round byes?

That seems like a good idea.

I was the first person to sign up besides Solenial... *looks around*

I agree,

No offence, Solenial, But this should get started soon, as it's been about 2 months since signups began... and if you wait any onger, you'll be running into the NS Olympics and the start of WC 42 Qualifying. Best to get it started ASAP. (Speaking from experience)

Oh, all right then...

What's the TDQ7?

Besides, wouldn't this tourney take up a week max?
