Tennis Queensland Gold Coast Region

Queensland Junior Teams Carnival 2012

The QJTC is the most gruelling yet most enjoyable event on the calendar, and is the largest team event in Queensland. Featuring singles, doubles and mixed doubles, plus the separate JTC Optus Junior Tour singles event (carrying silver points for 11/U, 13/U and 15/U and white points for 17/U), the Queensland Junior Teams Carnival is the biggest and the best!!

The top 48 players who nominate can gain selection in the Gold Coast team (11/u, 13/u, 15/u and 17/u divisions).

The top 4 ranked JDS players (JDS points rankings) and next 2 highest Australian ranked players (as of September 30^th) who nominate (you can represent in one division only) will be eligible at the Gold Coast Regional Assembly’s final discretion. This gives a total of 24 boys and 24 girls as required by Tennis Queensland who will participate against the other regions of Queensland.
