Thirty30 (T30) Tennis – Ambassadors Required & "Thirty30 'Big Smash' (Mixed Gender) Team Tennis"
Thirty30 Tennis – Ambassadors Required
Thirty30 (or T30) Tennis is the new shorter faster-paced scoring method that has been created to help encourage the next generation of tennis players and fans and investors.
Rules of Thirty30 tennis are very simple. Everything is identical to traditional tennis except:
1. All ‘Short’ games start from 30-30, announced “thirty-thirty” – the clue is in the name!
2. If a set reaches 6-6, a nine-point tie-break (first to five points) is played, with ‘sudden-death’ at 4-4.
3. No tie-break in final set.
4. During each set, change of ends after the first two games and then every four after that.
5. Alternate servers for the start of each set.
6. Thirty30 matches are either one ‘tie-break set’ (20 minutes) or ‘best-of-three’ sets (40-60 minutes) or ‘best-of-five’ sets (60-90 minutes).
Why? Thirty30 tennis is an ALTERNATIVE scoring method to:
- Fast4, i.e. sets to 4 games, tie-break at 3 games-all and no ads (‘sudden-death’ deuce).
- 10-point match tie-break (or Super tie-breaker or Champions tie-break). One ‘Tie-Break Set’ or one ‘Advantage Set’ (lead by two games) of Thirty30 tennis provides an alternative to the use of the ‘Match Tie-Break (10 points)’.
Unique Selling Point (USP) of Thirty30 tennis are:
- Thirty30 matches are shorter and faster-paced! The matches are more dynamic!
- Every Point Really Counts! - Every second point played is a game point!
- Thirty30 matches still feel, look and sound like traditional tennis!
The first Goal is to build a case to re-apply to the International Tennis Federation (ITF) to get Thirty30 accepted for official trialling at a few events as per their ‘Foreword’.
The second Goal is to have Thirty30 tennis sanctioned by the ITF as an alternative shorter scoring method for using at ITF, WTA and ATP Events.
