N.B. There has been a problem with Tennis Australia's on-line entry system but the problem seems to have been fixed. The problem was that although entrants completed the credit card payment steps they got a message saying their entry wasn't complete because they hadn't paid. If this happens to you, do the following:
(1) Inform the Tournament Director (admin@uqtc.org.au) so he can manually upload the entry into the tournament from the Unpaid Entries list.
(2) Check your credit card transactions to confirm no payment was processed.
(3) Try again later to see if the payment processing problem has been fixed and, if not, go to the tournament information listed under 'Regulations' to check out alternative payment options (e.g. internet transfer).

On-line entrants in the Round-Robin Grade events, not playing in UQ Tennis Club programs, must supply information about their standard such as their ITN and any Fixtures (Competition, Team & Grade).
The first 20 on-line entrants will receive a free University Open T-Shirt.
Entry deadline has been extended from 9 July to Tuesday, 12 July.
Entries can be lodged on-line here.
N.B. When players go to enter on-line, they are asked to create a Tournament account if they don't already have one. To create a Tournament account, players need their 11-digit Tennis Australia My Tennis Player ID Number. Unfortunately, although the Tennis Australia on-line tournament entry system still requires the 11-digit My Tennis Player ID Number, Tennis Australia has stopped issuing Player ID Numbers automatically for new players being registered through My Tennis (as it is switching to using player-e-mail addresses for identification purposes). This means that players who do not have a Player ID Number, or don't remember their number, need to contact Tennis Australia via play@tennis.com.au or 1800 752 983 to obtain their number or have a number created for them (information required - name, unique e-mail address, postal address, birthdate & a phone number).
A printable version of the entry form can be downloaded below but this cannot be used to enter the Open Singles & Doubles and the 18/U Singles & Doubles. These events must be entered on-line.
