      Regulations for LK matches with Wingfield

      Against who can I play LK matches with Wingfield? Here you can find out everything you need to know before your match.

      Before every match, the Wingfield Box checks whether the registered match pairing is eligible to play a LK match. To avoid that you only find out on the court that your match is not (anymore) possible according to the regulations, please consider the following things before you make an appointment.
