Tennis Tasmania can now confirm that no Australian Ranking Tournaments will be held prior to 1 August 2020 as their return will require unrestricted travel and the majority of domestic borders to be open.<\/p>\n
Australian Rankings will remain suspended until Australian Ranking Tournaments return, with players not losing any points that they were due to defend during the downtime.<\/p>\n
As an alternative to AR Tournaments, we are excited to announce the following planned events for when Stage 3 of a return to play commences, with proposed tournament dates subject to public health advice:<\/p>\n
1. Non AR Tournament at Tennis World Launceston; Friday 17 July -Saturday 18 July (Juniors) Universal Tennis Rating (UTR) is a purely results-based global rating system which rates all players on the same 16-point scale regardless of age, gender or location.<\/p>\n “We are pleased to be able to announce our intention to run tournaments again in the state, hopefully as soon as next month” Team tennis and Tournaments Coordinator Matthew Scott said.<\/p>\n “We’re excited to incorporate the Universal Tennis Ranking system for the first time in Tasmania.”<\/p>\n “I’d encourage all junior and adult players to jump onto the UTR platform now to register and follow the Tennis Tasmania page in preparation for a return to competition.”<\/p>\n For further information on the UTR system head to https:\/\/www.myutr.com\/about<\/a>, and to sign up click here<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n Tennis Tasmania will continue to seek public health advice and communicate with the State Government as we work towards establishing a return to tournament play date based on the health and safety of our entire tennis community.<\/p>\n We will work with tournament providers to update the calendar for the remainder of 2020 in line with this advice as we continue to navigate the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Alternative to AR Tournaments announced, with players urged to sign up to UTR platform<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6260,"featured_media":9316,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9314","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tennis.com.au\/tas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9314","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tennis.com.au\/tas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tennis.com.au\/tas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tennis.com.au\/tas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6260"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tennis.com.au\/tas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9314"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.tennis.com.au\/tas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9314\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tennis.com.au\/tas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9316"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tennis.com.au\/tas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9314"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tennis.com.au\/tas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9314"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tennis.com.au\/tas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9314"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
