Note:  There is a back-up date for each tournament in case play is prevented or interrupted by the weather or for any other reason.  If play on 26 September is prevented or interrupted, the tournament will be played or completed on 3 October.  If play on 10 October is prevented or interrupted, the events will be played or completed on 24 October.  If play on 17 October is prevented or interrupted, the events will be played or completed on 24 October.  If play on 31 October is prevented or interrupted, the tournament will be played or completed on 7 November.  Entrants should ensure they can be available for all relevant nights if necessary.

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. 

Players are eligible to enter if they have a Tennis Australia Competitive Player Profile (linked to Universal Tennis Ratings) and, if a junior, are 13 years of age or older in 2026 (i.e. born 2013 or earlier).

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