The Format

Seven draws across the weekend.

Saturday is the main event. Intermediate and Advanced each run separate men's and women's draws, so you compete in your own field from the first match to the final. Beginner is a single co-ed draw, open to any pairing — and new for this edition, so is the kids division. Friday adds co-ed Mixed Doubles at Intermediate and Advanced ahead of the weekend's Vision BT10 events.
