WHAT IS THE FORMAT FOR EACH TOURNAMENT?

SCORING: For Main Draw Matches = one set, first to six games, with a tie-break to be played (first to 7 points), should the score reach 5-5.
SCORING: For Non Main Draw Matches = one set, first to four games, with a tie-break to be played (first to 7 points), should the score reach 3-3.
All games will be short deuce, meaning the player who wins the point at 40-40 will win that game.
Tie-breaks will be first to seven points with a two point deficit.
If it is a LET, the serve is to be replayed.
DO PLAYERS RECEIVE AUSTRALIAN RANKINGS OR UTR?
No – Australian Ranking or UTR points are not associated with any event within the Gold Coast Region Green Ball Tennis Tournament circuit.
Instead, players who participate in the Gold Coast Region Green Ball Tennis Tournament circuit within the same calendar year, will earn and accumulate points – recorded in the ‘Bolt to Brisbane’ point race.
The allocation of points available to players at each event within the circuit is as follows:
SINGLES:
1st place – 100 points | 2nd place – 80 points | 3rd place – 70 points | 4th place – 60 points | 5th place – 55 points | 6th place – 50 points | 7th place – 45 points | 8th place – 40 points | Second Round – 25 points | First Round – 15 points.
Points are not transferable between age groups or circuits or regions.
The Top Eight points race finishers will be invited to compete at the Coloured Ball Cup.
The Top Four points race finishers at the Coloured Ball Cup will be selected to represent Gold Coast at the Bolt 2 Brisbane.
HOW ARE PLAYERS SEEDED?
Seeds are determined through the circuit points race and the number required is determined via TA Tournament Guidelines.
