Entries close on the Thursday before each tournament. 

These are all participation-style tournaments which use Round-Robin formats to keep everybody playing.  Events are offered at 4 levels to cater for players of all standards.

Events are offered at 4 levels:
OPEN  -  top level (open to all players)
A GRADE  -  equiv. to or lower than Men UTR 7.50 & Women UTR 6.50 (approx. UQTC Fixtures A2 Grade; UQTC Social low Red)
B GRADE  -  equiv. to or lower than Men UTR 6.50 & Women UTR 5.50 (approx. UQTC Fixtures B1 Grade; UQTC Social Yellow)
C GRADE  -  equiv. to or lower than Men UTR 4.50 & Women UTR 3.50 (approx. UQTC Fixtures C1 Grade; UQTC Social Green & Blue)

Players should check their UTRs for event eligibility before entering. Where players are Un-Rated or have a Not Reliable Rating (i.e. have insufficient results for a Reliable Rating), eligibility will be decided by the Committee using any information available, such as Fixture grades or Social Tennis ratings.  Eligibility for Doubles events will be determined by a player’s best UTR (either singles or doubles).  Where partners are of different standards, level eligibility will be decided by the higher standard. 

All entrants in these tournaments must be members of The University of Queensland Tennis Club (UQ Tennis Club).  However, non-members will be granted Restricted Membership of the UQ Tennis Club (includes free registration with Tennis Queensland) so they can compete.  The entry fees for Restricted Members will be higher than for Full Members (Ordinary, Associate, Junior or Hon. Life Members).

Entry Fees:
Full Members  -  $35 (Singles) or $25/player (Doubles)
Restricted Members  -  $40 (Singles) or $30/player (Doubles)

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, event entering and, for doubles, partner’s name).
