Running our annual club tournament next month. Any tips from people who have organised similar events? Last year we had issues with scheduling overrunning and people waiting around too long.

Key tip: allow 30 mins per match minimum, even for group stage. People always think 20 is enough but with warmup and changeover it never is. Also have a standby court ready.

Make sure you have a clear format explained to everyone beforehand. Nothing worse than confusion about whether it is knockout or round robin halfway through.
