G Series

There is no specific range. For the pilot we are looking for any players who are interested to play. What’s more important is to have enough interested players that we can create 6 competitive teams that are roughly equal in ability. For players without a UTR, past competition experience should be provided.

Selection will be focussed on creating 6 competitive teams. We will also prioritise players from clubs that don’t have enough female players to create all female teams in Waverley weekend competition.

Players who are not selected for the pilot round will be prioritised for any subsequent rounds

We think players under this age can play open triple competition at club level. If wanting to play a girls only competition, then we also offer Saturday morning girls sections.

We wanted to be able to offer an all-female competition to players who are no longer eligible to play junior competition, want to keep playing and have limited other options

The entry fee needs to cover the direct costs of paying clubs for the use of their venues (and them providing afternoon teas), the cost of competition balls, and any prizes and trophies. Covering direct costs means the competition can be run again if successful.

3 or 4 players can play each week (we want all 4 players to play, but understand sometimes there are other commitments or injuries). The Waverley Tennis triples format allows more than 3 players to play, and gives teams a little bit more flexibility.

Each team will have players ordered from 1 to 4 at the time of player selection and team creation. However, this competition format allows player order to change. Doing this means that players can get a combination of both singles and doubles rubber during the competition.

This will be a compass draw with 8 players in three groups and is an individual event. They will play 3 “matches” (expected to be 8 game sets with a set tiebreak at 7 all). There will be presentations for the competition ladder positions as well as the three compass draws, as well as afternoon tea. Results from this final week are not uploaded to UTR.

The first week that is fully washed out (e.g. no play at all) will use the spare week and the venue from the washed out week to play. If more than one is fully washed out, the points from the second (and any washout) will be scored as a draw for the ladder.

We will use the spare finals week (if applicable). If no play is possible, all players are still expected to attend for presentations.

In the first instance, you contact your nominated Team Captain. They will let the Competition Convenor know that your team is a player short. If you still have 3 players, there is no change, but if you only have 2 players, then the Competition Convenor will organise an emergency player from one of the other teams to play for your team.
