The UQ Tennis Club's 2022 Tournament Program continues with the Awesome Autumn Night Tournament Series.
The Autumn Series consists of 3 Saturday-night tournaments:
Doubles Tournament - 26 March (6 p.m. to 10 p.m.) - washed out on 26 March, postponed to 2 April - entries re-opened
Mixed Doubles Tournament - 23 April (6 p.m. to 10 p.m.)
Singles Tournament - 21 & 28 May (6 p.m. to 10 p.m.) - B & C Grade events on 28 May - Open & A Grade events washed out on 21 May and will now be played on 4 June - entries re-opened
Note: If play on the designated night is prevented or interrupted because of the weather, the tournament will be played or continued on the following Saturday night. Entrants should ensure they are available for both 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.
The four levels are:
OPEN - Open to all (top level)
A GRADE - Equiv. to or lower than ITN 5 (approx. UTR 8, UQTC Fixtures A2 & Social low Red)
B GRADE - Equiv. to or lower than ITN 6 (approx. UTR 6, UQTC Fixtures B1 & Social Yellow)
C GRADE - Equiv. to or lower than ITN 7 (approx. UTR 4, UQTC Fixtures C1 & Social Green/Blue)
All entrants in these tournaments must be members of The University of Queensland Tennis Club (UQ Tennis Club). However, non-members will be granted free 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 - $30 (Singles) or $20/player (doubles)
Restricted Members - $35 (Singles) or $25/player (Doubles)
The Autumn Series entry form can be picked up from the Clubhouse or downloaded as a PDF file here. The printed entry form can be used to enter a single tournament or multiple tournaments. For Doubles Tournaments, each player must lodge an entry form.
Entries can also be lodged on-line via the Tennis Australia Tournaments Website (https://tournaments.tennis.com.au).
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 TA tournament on-line entry system still requires the 11 digit Player ID Number, Tennis Australia has stopped issuing Player ID Numbers automatically for new players 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, postal address, unique e-mail address, birthdate and a phone number).

Players can also use these links to check that their entries have been received and to check who else has entered.
