Registration Notes

  • Players can register and trial for both a gender team and/or a mixed team (e.g. Lucy can trial for Open Women's and Open Mixed).
  • Players can specify whether they are willing to play gender and/or mixed (e.g. Lucy might trial for Open Women's and Open Mixed but if both coaches want her, she'd rather play Mixed).
  • Youth players (Under 18) - To be eligible to trial for an Opens team you:
    • Must have already registered and trialed to play for your own age grade team first (e.g. if Lucy is under 18, then she must have attended Youth Nationals to be eligible for Opens).
    • Get an excemption from the WTA Board because there are risks and issues associated with sending tamariki (those under 18 / not adults) to an adult tournament.
  • If there are significantly more registrations than places on the current teams, then the WTA Board will consider forming additional teams (e.g. a 2nd Men's / Women's / Mixed team)
