Team Format

Each team will field two doubles pairs each round. Besides men's and ladies', mixed-gender pairs are also acceptable. However, team members must be full-time employees of the Corporate Patron (The Committee of the CPL has the power to waive or vary this requirement for members who are unincorporated):

– In accordance with the overwhelming wishes of the members as expressed in the past, no tennis professionals / coaches shall be eligible to play and only full-time employees of the Corporate Patron, who are not in the absolute discretion of the Committee of the CPL held to be tennis professionals / coaches, will be eligible (A tennis coach is someone who has received pecuniary rewards from coaching part-time or full-time anytime during the past 12 months).

– It is the sole responsibility of the team to ensure that they do not include any tennis professionals / coaches. If a team is found to be fielding professionals and/or coaches in any matches, those matches will be forfeited at the discretion of the Committee of the CPL.

– Any unregistered players fielded must be submitted to the Committee of the CPL for approval before the first match of the CPL starts. It is hoped that at least one senior manager or director will play in the team. However this is not a pre-condition to entry.
