2024 Spring Night Tournament Series

The UQ Tennis Club's 2024 Tournament Program continues with the Spring Night Tournament Series.

The Spring Series consists of 3 Saturday-night tournaments:
Doubles Tournament  -  21 September (6 p.m. to 10 p.m.)
Singles Tournament  -  5 October [Open & B Grade] and 12 October [A Grade & C Grade] (6 p.m. to 10 p.m.)
Mixed Doubles Tournament  -  4 November (6 p.m. to 10 p.m.)

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 21 September is prevented or interrupted, the tournament will be played or completed on 28 September.  If play on 5 October is prevented or interrupted, the tournament will be played or completed on 12 or 19 October.  If play on 12 October is prevented or interrupted, the tournament will be played or completed on 19 October.  If play on 2 November is prevented or interrupted, the tournament will be played or completed on 9 November.  Entrants should ensure they can be available for all relevant nights if necessary.

Entries close on the Thursday before each tournament. 

NOTE: Because only a limited number of courts are open for night play, entries will be closed early if entries reach the maximum number of players that can be accommodated on the courts available.

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.
