The tournament is included in the Computer Ranking Scheme.
Players will be ranked based on current computer rating points when the draw takes place, based on a 1* Tournament.
Provisional playing schedule:
Morning - 10:00, total 32 spaces:
Under 17 Boys Open
Under 17 Girls Singles
 
The above is a guide only as the playing schedule will vary according to size of entry.

The competition begins with a group round-robin stage, ensuring all players get plenty of matches before moving on to placement rounds. The top two players from each group will advance to a knockout draw to determine the highest finishing positions. The bottom two players from each group will move into a separate draw to decide the lower finishing positions. This structure guarantees that every player continues competing until they achieve a final ranking, regardless of their earlier results. The format ensures continuous play throughout the day, providing all participants with multiple matches and a clear final standing.
The organising committee reserves the right to modify the group sizes and merge categories if there aren't sufficient entries to make the event viable; any amendments to times will be communicated via email.
Registration & practice: Morning from 09:00, with play to commence at 10:00 and expected finish at 15:00.
Players in the various events must have been born as follows: Under 17 (Born in 2010 or later)

Trophies/medals will be awarded to all 1st and 2nd placed positions in each event.

We are launching the Tri-Club Series, bringing together competitions hosted by Blitz TTC, Draycott TTC & Highfield TTC.

The series will consist of each club hosting a “Tri-Club Series” event in each age category. While Blitz and Highfield may host additional competitions during the season, only tournaments with the designated “Tri-Club Series” stamp will count towards the "Tri-Club Series" standings.

Players will earn series points based on their finishing position at each “Tri-Club Series” event, with bonus points being awarded for the winners and runners-up. At the conclusion of the final competition, the points will be totalled and the overall "Tri-Club Series" Champions will be crowned!

All entry forms and competition dates can be found on the TTE website.

Compete. Collect Points. Win the Series.
