Carlton International Youth Tournament in Hoensbroek: 28-30 december 2016

Jij het nieuws, wij een tikkie!

On the first day of the tournament, the semi finalists will be determined in all disciplines. In all age groups, the first round in singles will be played in groups.

Just like in previous years there will be a doubles tournament for players that do not qualify for the semi finals of the individual tournament. This doubles tournament will be played on Thursday 29 December. Furthermore, a team event will be organised on Friday 30 December. For this event, the national and regional teams from the Netherlands and all foreign teams are invited.

Since we are again expecting many high level players from all over Europe, the tournament will be played in different venues. For the first day of the individual tournament, the age categories will be assigned to a single venue each. The number of entries for the different age groups will be limited in accordance with the maximum number of matches that can be played in the assigned venue. The preliminary venue schedule will be announced in the entry form. The final schedule will be determined as soon as entry has closed.

In order to facilitate the mentioned entry limitation, the registration procedure has changed. Registration will close earlier compared to previous years. The concept of the registration procedure per age category is as follows:

• Registrations must be done via www.toernooi.nl (English version available). More information follows on the entry form (September)
• Group-registration is also possible, by filling in a form which will be sent to you by e-mail together with the official entry-form.
• Entries will be accepted according to the following order of precedence: members of national teams > members of district teams > members of regional teams > individual entries.
• Registration closes on November 15.
• In case of too many entries in an age group, the tournament organisation makes the final decision to accept or reject an entry. Not accepted entries will be informed till December 1 by e-mail. Rejected entries will be placed on a reserve list.

In order to facilitate an efficient coaching during the matches, sufficient and clearly recognizable seats for coaches will be provided where possible. Coaches will receive a coach badge for identification. Furthermore, the loosing player of a match will automatically count the following match on the particular court or she/he will see to an adequate replacement.

To participate in the team event, teams need to be registered till December 1. Contrary to previous years, also the player's names need to be reported till this date. Changes of team members are however allowed till the first day of the tournament (December 28). We would like to stress that a team registration will only be accepted when the team is complete. If a spare player is needed, we offer our help. However, we can't guarantee any spare player; the team itself remains responsible for this.
