# 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 ID (starting with ‘66’). A Tennis ID is allocated automatically when players create a Competitive Player Profile with Tennis Australia. To create a Competitive Player Profile or check if you already have one, 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. For the moment, the old Player ID Number (11 digits, starting with ‘61’) can still be used to enter tournaments but is being phased out.
