Tennis Northland Presents: Northland Clash of the Clubs 

When: 6–7 December 

Where: Thomas Neale Family Memorial Tennis Park 

Tournament Overview 

It’s time for club vs. club competition. Represent your club in Tennis Northland’s newest end-of-year challenge: Clash of the Clubs. Whether you send your reigning champions or a crew of determined contenders, this weekend is all about club pride and great tennis. We’ll crown individual winners across all grades, and award the Northland Clash of the Clubs Shield to the top-performing club.  

Will your club be the first name on the Clash of the Clubs Shield?  

Event Format 

• Saturday 6 December: Singles Matches 
• Sunday 7 December: Doubles Matches 
• Singles Finals will be played on Sunday 7 December 
• Some doubles matches may be scheduled on Saturday if needed to fit the draw 

Competition Categories 

Clubs may enter as many players as they want in each grade. Choose your champions, or surprise underdogs, and send them to compete in: 

• Men’s Singles (A & B Grades) 
• Ladies Singles (A & B Grades) 
• Men’s Doubles (A & B Grades) 
• Ladies Doubles (A & B Grades) 
• Mixed Doubles (A & B Grades) 

This can be your current club champions or a selection of gutsy club players willing to go head-to-head with other Northland clubs. Clubs may enter as many players as they want, with every place-getter contributing to the overall winning club.  

We welcome as many entries as possible. If needed, clubs may be asked to reduce numbers slightly to ensure broad representation across Northland. 

Note: Individual winners will also be recognised as Northland Champions. This event replaces the traditional Senior Closed Championships. 

Match Format 

• Singles matches - first to 9 games with a super tiebreaker at 8 all (first to 10 points with a 2 point margin). Note: Singles finals will be best of 3 tiebreaker sets with a super tiebreaker (first to 10 points with 2 point margin) played instead of a third set. 
• Doubles matches - best of 3 tiebreaker sets with a super tiebreaker (first to 10 points with 2 point margin) played instead of a third set.
