Limited Draws for Singles & Doubles
All draws are limited to 16 players with a feed in draw (Through The Quarterfinals) for Singles Division There will also be a playoff for third & fourth in the semi-finals. Please take this into account when deciding what event to enter. The top 16 players will be chosen for each event so if you are playing in a higher age group for which you do not have ranking points you will mostly likely not be chosen for that event if the event reaches the maximum number of 16 players. I suggest entering your current age group and notify me by email if you would like to play a higher division. If space allows I may allow you to move up to the higher division once the deadline has closed and I have the final count. Doubles Divisions will have a limit of 8 teams
