Mens Event - Open to all challengers...
This event is a new Wild-card shootout event, feeding into the UTR Pro Tennis Tour - presented by The Progress Tour, at the same venue week commencing 31st October 2022. All matches will be submitted to count towards Universal Tennis Rating & World Tennis Number.
The Wild-card feeder format allows players of all levels to play in the same tournament, and start the tournament at the appropriate level. Players are placed in different parts of the draw based on their entry level rating, alongside players of a similar level, with higher level players start at a later stage in the same event. This level-based and progressive format increases the likelihood of high-quality competitive matches for all players, whilst also offering players the opportunity to progress and play against higher level opposition. Successful players in each division will win a slice of the prize pot and the opportunity to progress to the next draw, as well as the Division 1/Tableau Champion and Finalist earning their spot in the $25,000 UTR Pro Tennis Tour event at the same venue the following week*
With separate draws, players will earn their progression through to the money rounds, as well as the four semi-finalists in each draw progressing into the next higher level draw as shown in the image below.
