How it works
There are 2 leagues per region, an A and a B league. The aim is to win your league and/or be promoted to the higher league or not be relegated. The leagues in turn are divided into groups of 5, in which the round robin principle is used, i.e. you play at least 4 matches.
The ZurichLeague is divided into a qualifying tournament and a knockout phase (main tournament). The best 8 players per league qualify for the knockout round.
The players organize their matches within the group themselves. As the host, you are responsible for 2 matches, i.e. you make the court reservation after you have agreed the time and place with your opponent (guest) in the chat. You will then be invited to your 2 other matches. Via the TennisMatch app you will receive information from the official as to which 2 matches are to be organized by when. Appointments must be made and results recorded via the TennisMatch app. You communicate with your guest via the TennisMatch app (chat function) or via email. There is an app for iOS and one for Android.
Game mode/ tiebreak
The mode for the qualification and the main tournament is as follows:
- The game is played on 8 games - "no-ad". At 7/7 there is a tiebreak to 7.
- The match duration is exactly 1 hour (incl. 5 minutes warm-up time); each match ends on the hour.
- Each game won gives one point; a win gives 2 bonus points.
- In all other respects, the Swiss Tennis Tournament Regulations apply.

Seven Sundays
Sunday morning is the epitome of a relaxed, refreshed awakening after a peaceful night's sleep: you are carefree, without stress and start the new day full of energy. This is the feeling that the three Seven Sundays founders Reinhardt Maier and his sons Florian and Benjamin wanted to convey to their customers every day when they started developing clever sleep innovations. The Seven Sundays sleep system was carefully handcrafted from the highest quality foams. With it, you wake up as rested and relaxed as if every day were a Sunday.
