Standard Round Robin rules following pre-set GLTA default software setting apply. Players advance:

• Match;
• Set; and
• Game difference in that order.

The tournament director reserves the right to shorten the length / scoring of all matches due to inclement weather, scheduling delays, or other reasons in the best interest of completing the tournament in time. However, all efforts will be made to ensure that every match played within a certain level in the same round are scored in the same manner.

• A – NTRP 4.5 -5 rating-advanced tournament player

In order to prevent “sandbagging” (i.e., playing at a level substantially below a player’s actual skill level), Tennis Australia has absolute discretion in determining whether a player will be permitted to play at a certain level, even if you receive permission from the GLTA executive board to play at a certain level. GLTA tournament entry ranking cut offs for each division will be strictly adhered to.
