Pennant

Pennant is a Victoria wide competition where all players are representatives of Melbourne Uni Tennis Club. The season starts at the end of April and ends with finals at the end of August, with matches being played weekly. Pennant is a high commitment competition where all players are graded and entered in appropriate teams, with captains chosen and weekly training involved. Pennant requires travel with home and away games being played and training once a week with your teammates. Females play at 830am on Saturday and Males play at 1pm on Saturday or Sunday. Pennant levels start at an advanced level all the way up to national level players.

The format for Men's & and Women's Pennant (Grades 2 and below) will be slightly tweaked this year, to allow for more doubles and further promote team chemistry and connection. The format will be as per below:

• Odd numbered rounds (Rounds 1, 3, 5 etc.):
• Two first to 8 doubles (tiebreak at 8-8) Four best of two tiebreak set singles (match tiebreak at one set all) 
• Even numbered rounds (Rounds 2, 4, 6 etc.). Two best of 2 tiebreak set doubles (match tiebreak at one set all) Four first to 8 singles (tiebreak at 8-8).
• No advantage scoring will be used for all doubles rubbers. Finals will be a best of two format for all rubbers.
