These events will be played on 14 & 15 September. Players can only enter one event.

Entries close Sunday, 8 September.

This tournament is a Club Championships and entry is only open to financial Club members.  DO NOT ENTER UNLESS YOU HAVE PAID A FULL-YEAR MEMBERSHIP OF $120 OR A SECOND-HALF-YEAR MEMBERSHIP OF $80.

Do you want something a bit more challenging than playing the one-set matches used in Fixtures and the Club's participation-style tournaments?

Then you should be entering the Annual Club Championships which will be played over three weekends (31 August-1 September, 7-8 September & 14-15 September).

Where possible, the Open & B Grade Singles & Doubles events will be played on the first weekend (31 August-1 September), all Mixed Doubles events will be played on the second weekend (7-8 September) and the A Grade & C Grade Singles & Doubles events will be played on the third weekend (14-15 September).  However, the Committee reserves the right to play an event on all days if it deems that entry numbers and weather conditions would make it impracticable to complete the event in the 2 days specified.

Although it is a knock-out tournament, the Club Championships offer events at 4 levels to cater for players of all standards
Open - top level (open to all players)
A Grade - open to players equiv. to or lower level than Men UTR 7.5 & Women UTR 6.5 (i.e. approx. UQTC Fixtures A2 Grade, UQTC Social low Red)
B Grade - open to players equiv, to or lower level than Men UTR 6.5 & Women UTR 5.5 (i.e. approx. UQTC Fixtures B1 Grade, UQTC Social Yellow)
C Grade - open to players equiv. to or lower level than Men UTR 4.5 & Women UTR 3.5 (i.e. approx. UQTC Fixtures C1 Grade, UQTC Social Green)

Players should check their UTRs before entering.  Some players are lodging entries for events that they are not eligible to play.

Matches for all events will be the best-of-two tie-break sets (with a 10-point match-deciding tie-break if the score reaches 1 set all).

N.B. Players have to make a bigger time commitment to play in this tournament.  Because matches are best-of-two sets, it is obviously not possible to play each event in a single morning or a single afternoon as in other club tournaments.  Players can be drawn at any time on the specified days.

Entries close on Wednesday 21 August. 

Entry is restricted to Ordinary, Associate and Junior Members of the UQ Tennis Club.  Players who have been given free Restricted Membership are not eligible for this tournament.

Entry forms are available under the Clubhouse or can be downloaded here.

Entries can be lodged on-line using the Tennis Australia Tournaments Website here.  

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:

https://www.tennis.com.au/competitiveplay/create-your-cpp. 

Anybody who has a problem logging in, or entering events once logged in, should contact Tennis Australia via play@tennis.com.au or Ph 1800 752 983.   

As this is a prestigious Club event, winners and runners-up will receive engraved trophies at a Trophy Presentation that will be held later in the semester.
