Tournament Format | Singles – All Players should enter their age group and boys and girls draws will be made up as follows based on players singles grades:
For this tournament we are continuing a way of grouping players with the goal of giving players a chance to go up from their grade by playing a qualifying section first. We still want to maintain the groupings that will lead to even match ups in graded draws as far as possible. For 10U all players will be in the same boys or girls draw. For all other ages we will have an age group main draw of 24 players and the top ranked 16 players will be direct entries to this draw. The next 32 players will compete in a qualifying draw for the 8 qualifier places to make up the 24. The players who don’t qualify will go into graded divisions of 8 players according to their ranking. This will give all players a chance to jump ahead of their immediate ranking group on the qualifying day of the tournament. (Numbers in each draw level may vary depending on numbers entered and rankings). Doubles – Players should enter their singles age group in doubles, and this should be the same as their partner. If you nominate a partner, please be sure that they have agreed to play with you. Note: Rankings will be based on the most recent Match Hub points file available at entry deadline. |
