Ladies' Doubles Tournaments
Following the success of the inaugural event last year, the UQ Tennis Club will be running two Ladies’ Doubles Tournaments this year.
The first ladies’ tournament will be played on Sunday, 30 August, from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m.
Note: If play on 30 August is prevented or interrupted because of the weather, the tournament will be played or completed on 6 September. Entrants should ensure they can be available for both mornings if necessary.
Entries close on Thursday, 27 August.
Entry is limited to 32 players, so entries will close early if 32 entries are received before 27 August.
If entries closed because 32 entries received, register at admin@uqtc.org.au to go on the standby list in case there are any withdrawals.
Registration and pre-payment of the $10 entry fee is required:

The aim is to provide a light-hearted yet competitive event that’s perfect for players of all levels, particularly if they have never played a tournament before. Coaching support will be available on the day to assist with match play. Whether a regular fixtures player or a social hitter, this is a fun-filled event not to be missed!
The tournament will use the Doubles Surprise format. Although it's a doubles tournament, players enter individually. Players will be randomly paired through a public draw and assigned to a court for their first match. After each round, winners move up a court, losers move down a court, and partners are reshuffled for the next match – keeping things dynamic and social! As play progresses, the better players will gradually make their way towards the top court. Games won and games lost will be recorded for each player and their match ratios calculated to identify the top-performing players.
After the matches, there will be light snacks on the clubhouse verandah, prizes for the standout players, and a few lucky draw prizes to wrap up the morning.
Note: This event is not being run through the Tennis Australia Tournament System, so a Tennis Australia Competitive Player Profile & Tennis ID are not required to enter and results cannot be lodged with Universal Tennis Ratings.
This come ‘n’ try tournament is supported by an MRA Affiliates Grant from the Tennis Queensland Metropolitan Regional Assembly.
The second ladies’ tournament will be played on Sunday, 20 September, from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m., with entries closing on 17 September.
