Requirements

• Players must be financial members of ATC to participate in competition teams, prior to the submission of team entries.
• Non-members may only play up to three matches (in any team across any competition format) as emergencies. After this limit, they will be required to sign up for membership to continue participating.
• Each team must have a Team Captain responsible for:
  • Organising player rosters
  • Ensuring emergencies are members, or if not, compliance with the emergency player membership rule
  • Liaising with the Senior Convenor via group chat regarding emergency players and sending through the match results
  • If no one volunteers, the Senior Convenor will appoint a Team Captain.
• Please be aware that players who are selected in a club team are expected to play for the entire season (unless otherwise notified)
• ATC is committed to providing a welcoming, safe and inclusive environment that supports the physical, social and emotional wellbeing of all participants. All players must read and agree to abide by the Tennis Australia Code of Behaviour as a condition of entry.
• WDTA fines:
  Teams are expected to reimburse the club for association fines (typically $15–$55) incurred due to:
• • Team forfeits
  • Late entry of results
• Teams will be selected according to the best guides we have as to their order of merit. While we try, it is not always possible to arrange for friends to play on the same team. Similarly, we are not always able to place all players into a team. In this case application fees will be refunded.
• Refunds will be given under the following conditions:
  •  To any player not allocated to a team.
  • If you have a medical condition which prevents you from playing after teams have been submitted to WDTA (i.e. broken arm etc).
  • Please note: Refunds will not be given for 'change of mind' after teams have been submitted to WDTA.

Registrations close midnight Saturday 7 March - early registration appreciated.
