Sun, 17/03/2024 - 8:00am - 2:00pm
Entries close: 
Sun, 10/03/2024 - 11:00pm

ENTRIES CLOSED.  Entries closed early as 32-player maximum reached.

As with all the Club’s participation-style tournaments, the Fastennis Singles Tournament is designed to cater for players of all levels and the aim is to keep everybody playing irrespective of whether they are winning or losing. In Fastennis, a set is won by the player who is first to win 21 points (like in the old table tennis scoring system).

Levels:

This tournament is designed to cater for players of all standards although it will be played as a single draw. 

Under the Continuous Feed-In Draw format which will be used, players will drop into consolation draws every time they lose.  This ensures multiple matches for all players and players will come through the draw to meet players of a similar standard.

Eligibility: Entry is restricted to members of The University of Queensland Tennis Club.  However, non-members will be granted free 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: Participation-style, which guarantee all entrants get multiple matches.

Entries: Lodge entries on-line here or download the entry form below.  As there is a 32-player maximum for this tournament, entries may be closed before 10 March advertised entry deadline.

N.B. When players go to enter on-line, they are asked to log in using their Competitive Player Profile or to create a Competitive Player Profile (with a Tennis ID and UTR link) if they don't already have one.  A Tennis ID (11-digit number, starting with '66') is allocated automatically when players create a Competitive Player Profile.  To check if you already have a Competitive Player Profile, go to (https://www.tennis.com.au/competitiveplay/competitive-player-profile) and click on ‘Complete your Competitive Player Profile’ at the bottom of the screen which will then give you a number of options depending on whether you already have a Tennis ID Account or Universal Tennis Account or neither or don’t know.  The old Player ID Number (11 digits, starting with ‘61’) is no longer valid.
