Entry deadlines

There will be a limit on the maximum number of entries. Enter early and don’t be disappointed.

Entry is online only, through the tournament registration page. No manual entries will be accepted.

To avoid disappointment, don’t leave your registration to the last moment in case you need help with it.

When you enter, you accept these regulations and the waiver online and sign by typing your name. Players under 19 need a parent or guardian to accept for them. In doubles, your partner receives an email link to accept the waiver themselves.

Entry fees

Payment is made online at the same time as entry. Entries not completed online, and entries without payment, will not be accepted. Card payments cost 3% more than Interac e-Transfer. In doubles the fee is per player, at each player’s own rate.
