Australian Ranking Points events but include participation-style events for the ‘average’ player.
All tournaments are part of the Club Grand Prix.
The 12 participation-style tournaments in the Club’s 2017 Tournament Calendar: • cater for players of all standards (most offer events at 4 levels) • use formats that keep everybody playing irrespective of results (most use round-robins) • are played to completion in a single night or morning • are open to non-members (who will be granted free Restricted Membership to enable entry)
