WHAT IS THE GREEN BALL TENNIS TOURNAMENT CIRCUIT?

WHAT IS THE FORMAT FOR EACH TOURNAMENT?
MATCHES: Players are guaranteed four matches on the day, although late withdrawals may impact this.
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.

Parents & Carers: Campus Playground Equipment Notice
Parents & Carers: Campus Playground Equipment Notice
Dear Parents and Carers,
Please note that our campus playground equipment, including the Junior School Adventure Playground, is only available to students enrolled at Canterbury College during their education here, and while under the supervision of an authorised staff member.
The playground equipment is Out Of Bounds for children not currently enrolled at the College – including but not limited to siblings – and to students outside school hours, unless enrolled at Canterbury’s OSHC and supervised by our OSHC employees.
Where parents and carers are early to collect students enrolled at the College, we respectfully request that you remain within the carpark where your children will meet you once the school day has ended.
This will limit disruption to our students being educated onsite and moving around the campus.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
100 Days Of Prep Celebration | Event Wrap & Photo Gallery
100 Days Of Prep Celebration | Event Wrap & Photo Gallery
Today our Prep students celebrated reaching 100 days of learning here at Canterbury College.
So our little ‘Preppies’ dressed up as '100-year-olds' or imagined their future selves, while enjoying a day filled with fun activities.
They also took the lead for Junior School Assembly, showcasing their counting up to 100 for their gathered parents and carers in the crowd, with some very cute performances.
Congratulations on this milestone to our wonderful Prep students.
We look forward to seeing your continued growth and learning for the next 100 days.
A special heartfelt ‘thank you’ to all the parents and carers for your huge support in making this event a success, by helping create these ‘oldies’ costumes behind the scenes.
Additionally, we held our Gotcha Prize Draw after the Prep performance.
Well done to all our Gotcha Prize winners!
The Gotcha Prize is awarded to students who embody our school values – from showing effort and trying their hardest in class, to demonstrating integrity by being honest and engaging in difficult conversations.
Whenever one of our Junior School students performs a good deed, they earn themselves a Gotcha ticket which goes into the Assembly Prize Draw.
