So, the verdict is:
- We don't pay for use of the courts (but they need to be booked, and
will be less available during weekends than during weekdays)
- We do pay for rental of rackets and/or buying balls, and they do
somewhat expect you to drink something in their bar (which does not
feature free beer).
Given that, I think doing a little tournament would be nice. I'll even
volunteer to officiate the final[1][2]. However, TTBOMK so far only four
people have expressed interest in playing some tennis, which wouldn't be
enough, really.
If somewhere between 6 and 8 people sign up for a tournament, we could
do a pool-type tournament with two groups, with the winner of each pool
playing the final. That would mean every participant would need to play
2 (6 or 7 players) or 3 (7 or 8 players), with the winners of each group
playing one more match (the final).
If more than that sign up, doing a pool-type tournament would probably
not be realistic anymore, and we'll fall back to a knock-out tournament
instead.
Thoughts? Interested participants?

people in the world who think they really understand all of its rules,
and pretty much all of them are just lying to themselves too.
