Playing Level Guidance

We aim to create fair and competitive matches using established level systems:

• Levels align with NTRP, MTG, and UTR guidelines. A breakdown of the playing levels is below, with additional details on playing level on this page:

• With the exception of Women’s C Singles and Doubles, all other draws are All Gender
• Non-male players may step down one level when entering an All Gender draw for better parity
  Example: A woman who typically plays B in women’s events may register for C in an All Gender division
• We will review GLTA, USTA, or UTR rankings to ensure appropriate placement. Please select your division based on your GLTA ranking, if you have one already.
• Unsure about your level? Select “Help me choose the correct level” during registration – we’ll work with you to find the best fit!
