Registration Extended - 20 October 2024

Due to the incredible interest in the Tournament, a number of categories are full but there are some spaces left and we may be able to expand some categories.
To try to accommodate as many additional players as possible we will be opening registration for a further 2 weeks until 20:00 CET on Sunday 20th October.

IMPORTANT NOTE
In most cases the registration system will indicate the category as FULL and place the player on STANDBY without needing to pay for registration.
After registration closes on October 20th, we will allocate any available spaces and notify the registrants that payment is required to secure the place.
Being on standby and paying promptly if a space is offered to you is the best/only way to participate, if you want to play but don't yet have a place confirmed.

Registration

On registering, you will be sent a confirmation email confirming your entries as well as a special link back to the registration website (if it doesn't come through please check all junk folders before sending through an enquiry to let us know). This will take you to a players needing partners page where you must confirm your registered partners by sending a partner confirmation email. This means both you and your partner must be registered and then confirm your partnership to guarantee your entry as a doubles team into the event. If you have agreed a partnership in advance, you should follow the link in the email and click on the "Send Partner Request" icon next to the name of your proposed partner. They will receive an email asking them to confirm that they agree, and will be given the option to confirm yes/no. This automatically updates our system either way. In the event you don't have a partner and need to find one, you can use the "Contact" icon next to a player's name to start a conversation with them via email about potentially partnering up. If you have any queries or concerns then please don't hesitate to send through an enquiry and we will do our best to get back to you ASAP!

When registering you will be asked if you already have a partner.  If you put a Yes here, you will save yourself being sent lots of partner requests. 

If you choose to add another event after you have registered, you can go back to your original registration confirmation email and use the link provided.  If you need to change an event or withdraw from an event, you should also use this link.
