December Singles Challenge
TO AVOID A POTENTIAL CLASH WITH THE QUEENSLAND JUNIOR TEAMS CARNIVAL, THIS EVENT HAS BEEN MOVED FROM 6 DECEMBER (WITH BACKUP ON 13 DECEMBER) TO 29 NOVEMBER (WITH BACKUP ON 6 DECEMBER).
The December Singles Challenge will now be played on Saturday morning, 29 November, starting at 8 a.m
The Singles Challenge will be a UTR-tiered event with players divided into round-robin groups of five based on their UTRs – the top 5 UTRs in Group 1, the next 5 in Group 2, etc. Every player will get four one-set matches during the morning. Each group winner will receive a $50 gift card.
The aim will be to have a small range of UTRs in each group. Where possible, separate male and female groups will be formed; but men and women may be combined in the same group if that is the best way to achieve an even competition.
Entries close on Sunday, 23 November.
However, as the competition has to be limited to 35 players (7 groups of 5, using 14 courts), entries will be closed early if 35 entries are received before 23 November.
Entries must be lodged on-line via the Tennis Australia Tournaments Website here.
