Patronage/Partnership

Description

Die AST24 ist ein selbst-organisiertes, app-unterstütztes Tennis-Turnier, welches ab dem 24. Juni im Kanton Aargau durchgeführt wird. Gespielt wird in über 20 Clubs und Centers in der Region Aargau (die Liste findest Du hier). Die AST24 besteht aus einer Qualifikations und einer Hauptrunde. Zuerst wird in 4er-Gruppen nach dem Round-Robin-Prinzip gespielt. Pro Kategorie qualifizieren sich die Gruppensieger*innen und -zweiten für die Hauptrunde, welche im KO-System gespielt wird. Für die Kategorien Sieger*innen findet Ende September das Finale statt (Final-Ort und Zeit werden noch bekannt gegeben). Dies ist dann auch der einzige fixe Termin des Turniers.

How does it work?

In the qualification phase, you play in self-organized groups of 4, i.e. you have 8 weeks to play 3 ranking-relevant matches. If a player can only play twice in the group phase and does not make it to the main round, he is entitled to one more ranking match. This means that the official organizes another match against an opponent of approximately equal strength.

In the main round , the 1/4, 1/2 finals and the final are played per category depending on the number of participants. Each match is also organized by the players themselves. The date indicated in the Swisstennis tableau is the last possible date.

The finalists in each category then play against each other in the final. The tournament regulations are the invitation to tender, the TennisMatch regulations and the Swisstennis tournament regulations.

The Swisstennis Tournament Regulations (TUR) and, in addition, the TennisMatch Regulations apply.

Game mode

Two winning sets are played; the 3rd set is a match tiebreak (10).
"No Ad", i.e. in the case of a deuce, the next ball decides who wins the game. The returner decides which side to serve on.
The maximum play-in time is 10 minutes

The Swiss Tennis Tournament Regulations (TUR) and, in addition, the TennisMatch Regulations apply. In addition, the ITF rules for play without an umpire apply (see here)

About the TennisMatch app

Chat with your opponent and make an appointment with him/her. After the match, enter the result in the TennisMatch app.

After the draw, the "host" receives an invitation on the app to organize the match. At the same time, the guest receives a message that the host will approach them. The prerequisite is, of course, that both have the TennisMatch app installed. You can find it under the keyword "Tennis Match" in the respective iOS and Android app stores.
