December Singles Challenge

NOTE: TO AVOID A POTENTIAL CLASH WITH THE QUEENSLAND JUNIOR TEAMS CARNIVAL, THE DECEMBER SINGLES CHALLENGE HAS BEEN MOVED FROM 6 DECEMBER (WITH BACKUP ON 13 DECEMBER) TO 29 NOVEMBER (WITH BACKUP ON 6 DECEMBER).

The December 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 feasible, players will be divided into male and female groups; but men and women will be combined in the same group if that is the best way to achieve an even competition.

Note:  If play on Saturday morning, 29 November, is prevented or interrupted because of the weather, the event will be played or completed on Saturday morning, 6 December.  Entrants should ensure they can be available for both mornings if necessary.

Eligibility: Entry is restricted to members of The University of Queensland Tennis Club.  However, non-members will be granted Restricted Membership of the Club (which includes free registration with Tennis Queensland) so that everybody can enter.  N.B. A higher entry fee applies for Restricted Members.

Format: Round-Robin groups of 5 (based on UTRs), which means all entrants will get 4 matches.

Entries: Lodge entries on-line here.  

Entries close 23 November but, because the competition is limited to 35 players (7 groups of 5, using 2 courts per group), entries will be closed early if 35 entries are received before 23 November.

Note: When players go to enter on-line, they are asked to log-in using their Tennis Australia Competitive Player Profile log-in.  Players can check if they have a Tennis ID & Competitive Player Profile or they can create a Competitive Player Profile & Tennis ID & UTR link by going to:

 VERY IMPORTANT NOTICE

Tennis Australia has made changes to the way players access Competitive Play websites. TA is introducing a Single Sign In to access Match Centre, League Manager & Tournaments with a Multi-Factor Authentication requirement.  Things have not gone smoothly and many players are having trouble accessing anything.

If you find you cannot lodge an entry on-line, please contact play@tennis.com.au to resolve the problem but also lodge an entry by e-mail to admin@uqtc.org.au (providing name, DOB, gender, Tennis ID, contact e-mail, contact phone number, current UTR and , if no verified UTR, information about playing level).

See Tournament Entry Condition 6 (see Info Sheet) for information about how to pay entry fee by internet transfer.
