It is a multi-day tennis tournament for players of various levels, consisting of two stages: group and playoffs.
The first season of the Raketo League in Phuket will run from October 1 to December 31. The group stage will last for two months, from October 1 to December 1.
The playoffs will take place in December, with dates to be announced later.
Group stage matches can be played at any convenient time and location agreed upon by the opponents. Please aim for compromises regarding time and venue:)
The participants of the League are divided into 4 Divisions based on their skill level — Division A includes players with the highest Raketo rating, Division B includes players with a slightly lower rating, and so on.
Within each division, players are further divided into groups of 7-8 players. The groups are structured so that they are evenly matched, ensuring more competitive playoffs.
Example of player distribution into groups for Division C.
Matches are played according to classic tennis rules. By default, a match is played up to 2 sets, with each set up to 6 games. A tiebreak is played to 7 points, and in case of a 1-1 tie in sets, a deciding tiebreak is played to 10 points. Each player judges their side of the court.
However, opponents can agree on a different format — for example, to play just one set or a longer match up to 3 sets. If one player disagrees with the proposed format, the match will be played according to the default rules.
By mutual agreement, a winner can be declared even if the match wasn’t fully completed. For instance, if the second set wasn’t finished, the winner of the first set can be declared the match winner by agreement.
