by the Committee of the club holding the meeting, or by a Committee
specially appointed for the purpose, of whom two, or such larger number
as the Committee may determine, shall form a quorum.
3.--A circular shall be issued by the Committee specifying the
conditions of the competition (see Recommendation 5).
4.--No cheques, orders for money, or cash payments in any form shall be
given as prizes, and the amount actually paid for each prize shall in
no case be below the advertised value of the same.
5.--The Committee shall elect a Referee, with power to appoint a
substitute to be approved by them.
6.--The Referee, or such other member or members of the Committee as
may be selected for the purpose, shall have power to appoint Umpires,
and the Referee shall decide any point of law which an Umpire may
profess himself unable to decide, or which may be referred to him on
appeal from the decision of an Umpire.
7.--The Referee shall, during the Meeting, be _ex-officio_ a member of
the Committee.
8.--The Courts shall be allotted to the Competitors, and the
Competitors shall be called upon to play, by a member or members of the
Committee, to be selected for the purpose, and in case of disagreement
the Committee shall decide.
9.--The Committee shall help to keep order on the ground, and shall
consult and decide upon any question arising out of the competition, if
summoned for that purpose by the Referee or by any two of their number;
and they shall have power, when so convened, the misconduct of a
Competitor having been reported to them by a member of the Committee or
an Umpire, to disqualify the offender, and further to order him off the
ground, should his misconduct appear to them to justify such action,
but before such action shall be taken, an opportunity of offering an
explanation shall be afforded to the Competitor whose misconduct has
been reported to them.
10.--It is the duty of an Umpire--
_a._ To ascertain that the net is at the right height before
the commencement of play, and to measure and adjust the net
during play, if asked to do so, or if, in his opinion, its
height has altered;
_b._ To call the faults (subject to Regulation 11);
_c._ To call the strokes when won, or when he is asked to call
them, and to record them on the Umpire's second sheet;[9]
_d._ To call the games and the sets at the end of each, or
when asked to call them, and to record them on the Umpire's
scoring sheet;
NOTE.--At the end of each game the games should be called with
the name of the player who is in advance, thus: "2 games to
1, B. wins," or "B. leads." If the games are level the score
should be called thus, "3 games all," or as the case may be. At
the end of each set the sets should be called in like manner.
_e._ To direct the competitors to change sides, in accordance
with Law 23;
_f._ When appealed to, during a rest, whether a doubtful ball
is "in-play" or not, to call "Play it out," and at the
conclusion of the rest, to give his decision (subject to
Regulation 11) or direct the Competitors to play the stroke
again;
_g._ To decide all doubtful or disputed strokes, and all points
of law (subject to Regulations 11 and 12);
_h._ In handicap matches to call the odds at the commencement
of each set;
_i._ To sign the Umpire's scoring sheets, and to deliver
them at the conclusion of the match to such person as the
Committee may authorize to receive them;
Provided, that no omission of any of the foregoing duties on the part
of an Umpire shall of itself invalidate a game or match.
11.--It is the duty of a Line-Umpire to call faults and to decide
strokes relating to the line for which he is appointed Umpire, and to
such line only.
12.--The decision of an Umpire shall be final upon every question of
fact, and no Competitor may appeal from it; but if an Umpire be in
doubt as to a point of law, or if a Competitor appeal against his
decision on such a point, the Umpire shall submit to it the Referee,
whose decision shall be final.
13.--The Referee shall not bet on a match, nor shall an Umpire on
a match in which he is acting, and if an objection for this or any
other reason be made to a Referee or Umpire, either before or during
the match, by a member of the Committee or a Competitor, the match,
if begun, shall, if necessary, be at once stopped by the Referee
or two members of the Committee, who shall take the opinion of the
Committee on the objection, and the Committee shall have power to
remove or suspend the Referee or Umpire so objected to; provided that
the decision of the majority of the Committee present shall be final,
and that the Referee or Umpire so objected to (if a member of the
Committee) shall not be at liberty to vote on the question.
14.--No competitor may transfer his entry to another player.
15.--Competitors shall have a right, by themselves or their deputies,
to be present at the draw.
16.--The draw shall be conducted in the following manner:--Each
Competitor's name shall be written on a separate card or paper, and
these shall be placed in bowl or hat, drawn out one by by one at
random, and copied on a list in the order in which they have been
drawn.
17.--When the number of Competitors is 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, or any higher
power of 2, they shall meet in pairs, in accordance with the system
shown by the following diagram:
+------------------------------------------------------+
| 1st Round. |
| A } 2nd Round. |
| } ------------B } |
| B } } 3rd Round. |

+------------------------------------------------------+
18.--When the number of Competitors is not a power of 2, there shall
be byes in the first round. The number of byes shall be equal to the
difference between the number of competitors and the next higher power
of 2; and the number of pairs that shall meet in the first round shall
be equal to the difference between the number of Competitors and the
next lower power of 2. The byes, if even in number, shall be divided,
as the names are drawn, in equal proportions at the top and bottom of
the list, above and below the pairs; if uneven in number, there shall
be one more bye at the bottom than at the top. Thus, in
SERIES 1.
From 5 to 8 Competitors.

With 18, 7 byes at the top, and 7 byes at the bottom.
With 19, 6 byes at the top, and 7 byes at the bottom.
With 20, 6 byes at the top, and 6 byes at the bottom.
With 21, 5 byes at the top, and 6 byes at the bottom.
With 22, 5 byes at the top, and 5 byes at the bottom.
With 23, 4 byes at the top, and 5 byes at the bottom.

With 30, 1 bye at the top, and 1 bye at the bottom.
With 31, 1 bye at the bottom.
With 32, no byes.
And so on, with larger numbers, in like manner.
19.--If a Competitor be absent when called on to play, or shall refuse
to play, or shall have given previous notice to the Referee, or a
member of the Committee that he cannot play in his next round, his
adversary shall win in that round.
20.--In handicap-matches the Competitors shall be handicapped by the
Committee, or by a Handicapper appointed by the Committee.
21.--Unless any other principle of handicapping be adopted, the
handicap shall be by classes, as below:
CLASS 0 (scratch).
Class 1 receives 1-sixth of 15.
" 2 " 2-sixths of 15.
" 3 " 3-sixths of 15.
" 4 " 4-sixths of 15.
" 5 " 5-sixths of 15.
" 6 " 15.
" 7 " 15 and 1-sixth of 15.
" 8 " 15 and 2-sixths of 15.
" 9 " 15 and 3-sixths of 15.
" 10 " 15 and 4-sixths of 15.
" 11 " 15 and 5-sixths of 15.
" 12 " 30.
" 13 " 30 and 1-sixth of 15.
" 14 " 30 and 2-sixths of 15.
" 15 " 30 and 3-sixths of 15.
" 16 " 30 and 4-sixths of 15.
" 17 " 30 and 5-sixths of 15.
" 18 " 40.
When two players in different classes below scratch meet, the superior
player shall start from scratch, and the odds received by the inferior
player are as shown by the annexed table, No. 1. To use the table, find
in the diagonal line of figures the number representing the class of
the superior player, then travel along the corresponding horizontal
column until the vertical column is reached, which bears at the top the
number of the class of the inferior player. The odds specified at the
intersection of the two columns are the odds required.
_Example._--If Class 3 has to meet Class 9, start from the figure 3 in
the diagonal line of figures, and look horizontally until the vertical
column is reached headed by the figure 6. The odds given at the point
of intersection of the two columns (viz., 15 and 1-sixth of 15) are the
odds required.
When the difference between the best and worst players entered is great
(say more than 30), it is desirable to handicap the best players at
_owed odds_. The players above scratch (_i.e._, owing odds) should be
classified as follows:
Class 1 owes 1-sixth of 15.
" 2 " 2-sixths of 15.
" 3 " 3-sixths of 15.
" 4 " 4-sixths of 15.
" 5 " 5-sixths of 15.
" 6 " 15.
" 7 " 15 and 1-sixth of 15.
" 8 " 15 and 2-sixths of 15.
" 9 " 15 and 3-sixths of 15.
" 10 " 15 and 4-sixths of 15,
" 11 " 15 and 5-sixths of 15.
" 12 " 30.
" 13 " 30 and 1-sixth of 15.
" 14 " 30 and 2-sixths of 15.
" 15 " 30 and 3-sixths of 15.
" 16 " 30 and 4-sixths of 15.
" 17 " 30 and 5-sixths of 15.
" 18 " 40.
When the two players in different classes above scratch meet, the
inferior player shall start from scratch, and the odds owed by the
superior player are as shown by the annexed table, No. II.
This table is to be used in the same way as the former, the class of
the superior player being looked for in the horizontal line of figures
at the top, and the class of the inferior player in the diagonal line
of figures.
_Example._--If Class 12 (owe 30) meet Class 7 (owe 15 and one-sixth of
15), the former must owe the latter the odds of four-sixths of 15.
22.--In championship matches and handicaps by classes, as above,
advantage sets shall be played throughout the ties.
23.--The Committee may, whether appealed to by any Competitor or not,
postpone the meeting or any match or part of a match if, in their
opinion, the state of the weather, or of the light, or the condition of
the ground, or other circumstances, render it advisable to do so.
