Bt.Net 'Senior Tennis Series' – 2010

[FM505]

Complete information and registration at www.bangkoktennis.net.

These 'Singles Play' events are open to all players both men and women who reach their 30th birthday in 2010. Some exceptions have been allowed... (27, 28, 29...).

The format of the series has changed from 'Age Category' to 'Skill Level' for all competitors.

This change is necessary to modernize veteran tennis in Thailand and to provide a better playing experience for all participants.

Players are encouraged to read through the 'Skill Level' descriptions below and select a rating that most closely resembles their 'match play' abilities. (www.bangkoktennis.net)

'Self rating' is recommended for each player. Rating verification clinics can be scheduled and conducted for interested persons... the cost is 500 baht. Contact Frank Miller (085 134 2010) to arrange a 'Skill Level' verification.

Tennis is pursued by those who appreciate keen competition and good sportsmanship. With this in mind we are confident that participants in the 'Senior Series' will choose an accurate rating for themselves.

The tournament director reserves the right to adjust player ratings for tournament participants and to combine categories to ensure a full draw.
