Hey Everyone! I am going to try and host this World Team event, I guess you can say its like Hopman Cup except its just all exhibition and for fun. Anyway these are the rules and I hope I can get enough teams to play!
Standard Round Robin Rules :
-8 groups with 2 alternate teams in case of withdrawals
-2 players from the same(or neighboring if you cannot find someone from your country willing to play) country in each team
-Format will be 2 singles matches and then deciding doubles match(If one team wins the first 2 singles matches then the doubles does not have to be played)
-Any Australian Open Court
-2 out of 3 sets no tiebreak in lieu of a 3rd set
-2 round robin groups of 4 and alternate for each group
-Same Davis Cup rules apply, must use players from your representing country
-Once 10 teams are filled, sign up is closed
-[b]Seeding will be based on the lowest combined rank of the 2 players in each team
If you do want to play:
-Post a reply with yours and your partners name along with what players you are using respectively(cannot repeat players unless there are no more players for your country)
I want to try and start this up by either Monday December 1st if I have enough teams or by Friday the 5th the latest, but as soon as I have enough teams I will make the draws. Hopefully we can make this happen guys!
(Just thought it'd be fun to do what Federer2 started, to make some exhibition stuff during the off season so players can stay in shape!)
