Centenary Week
Centenary Rackets Doubles Tournaments 23-27 April 2008
The tournaments will consist of a main draw of up to 64 pairs with plate competition plus an Invitation Tournament. All matches will be played at The Queen’s Club and St Paul’s School.
The inclusion of a plate competition for first round losers in the main draw will ensure each pair has a minimum of two matches. It is envisaged that the main draw will have pairings of fairly equal ability to allow good competitive matches. As a guide pairs should have a minimum combined handicap of 25. The tournaments are structured to allow maximum competitive participation from players of all abilities.
The Invitation Tournament will be for up to 8 pairs of elite players and allow a showcase of the finest Rackets before the evening festivities commence.
For competitors and non competitors alike there will be some fantastic off court events including:
- The T&RA Golf Day will be held at Walton Heath (venue of the 1981 Ryder Cup) on Wednesday 23rd April
- A Stag Dinner in the President’s Room of The Queen’s Club on Thursday 24th AprilFriday evening left free for less formal activities
- The Centenary Ball at the beautiful Hurlingham Club on Saturday 26th April
- A final's day Brunch at The Queen’s Club on Sunday 27th April.
