• This is a small tournament with registration limited to 160 competitors. Numbers are restricted in each event. It is recommended that you register early. If the event you want to compete in is already full, you will be placed on the Waiting List. This does not mean that you will not be able to compete. It means that we will try to accommodate your registration as places become available. You will be automatically notified if/when you are removed from the Waiting List.

Before registering for this tournament:

• Open categories are available for Mixed, Men's and Women's Doubles. All players rated 4.0+ are encouraged to enter Open events.

• Everyone registering should ideally have a partner registering around the same time. A registration is considered complete when the Team is complete. BOTH players must register within 4 days of the first player's registration OR the team will be moved to the Waiting List. If you do not have a partner, you can look under 'Players Needing Partners' to find a partner. (Click on the large button next to the logo on the Home page of the tournament website).

*If registration is closed and you haven't found a partner, the tournament director reserves the right to assign a partner to you.

• When registrations are closed, any event with insufficient numbers for a competition will need to be collapsed and combined with another event. Competitors in the collapsed event will be notified so they can decide if they still want to play.

• Participants are required to enter events at their current skill rating.

• At a minimum, referees will be scheduled on the gold medal match.

Practice sessions: Friday afternoon 15th November 2-5pm; followed by Meet and Greet 5-7:30pm at the nearby Tennis clubhouse.
