This year the T&R expanded the Jimmy Knott to include three new divisions of singles. The thought behind this was that there are very few chances to test your mettle in a level singles tournament outside of the national level championships or in-house club championships. This proved to be very well received with draws that were so large that we had to create a new format!
The standard pro set (first to 8 or 10 games) can sometimes be a little too rewarding to the “fast starter” so instead we played best of three sets to 4 games… This explains the unusual RTO results that you will see in the system. This allowed for some exciting comebacks and flip flops in momentum.
Thanks to all those who played from near and far; we plan on doing the same again next year so if you didn’t get a chance to play this time, mark your calendars for October 2020!
Here are the results:
Open Division – N.Batstone def. B.Hudson – 6/3, 6/5
35+ Division – A.Peabody def. D.Verhave – 4/2, 3/4, 4/3
