Club Competitions / Championships

CTC runs three categories of Club Championships during the year. The goal of the Championships is to cater for all players who are involved at the club and to ensure that these dates fall outside of the traditional GNTA League Season. These are:

Open Championships

The Open Championships normally kicks off on the 1st weekend in February and generally runs for a period of 3 to 4 consecutive weekends. The timing generally depends on the entries and draw sizes.

The main objective is to complete the Championships as quickly as possible to ensure that members do not have to commit for a long period of time and to hasten the compilation of the respective ladders. Players can then schedule challenge matches that can take place in a timely manner ahead of finalising league teams.

All Full Members and Junior League Members are permitted to enter The Open Championships. The following events are played:

Singles (Men and Women)
Doubles (Men and Women)
Mixed Doubles
A Plate event is also held in all the respective events for players losing their 1st match

Championships rules and regulations can be found in the CTC Policy Section.
