INFORMATION
Grand Prix events are one day entry level tournaments with matches played best of 3 games. Players are guaranteed 3 matches. Players use a regular double dot ball and should be able to consistently serve and rally. Divisions offered are Girls and Boys U9, U11, U13, and U15. Draws may be combined depending on final registration numbers.
A player who wins two Grand Prix’s must move up an age group for the remainder of the season. If a player wins two U15 events, they will be deemed to have graduated the circuit as there is no additional age category for them to move to and should progress to the Silver circuit.

ELIGIBILITY
As these events involve ranking points, all players must purchase a competitive membership before signing up for any Grand Prix, Silver, or Gold event.
A player who wins two Grand Prix’s must move up an age group for the remainder of the season. If a player wins two U15 events, they will be deemed to have graduated from the circuit as there is no additional age category for them to move into.
Winners of all events will be invited to the end of season Grand Prix finale to play in their current age group.
Players must play in the age group that corresponds with their age at the time of the event (i.e if your child is 11 years old on the day of the tournament, they need to enter the U13 division)
