After a successful inaugural competition last year, the Tasmanian Masters Weekend is back and looking to solidify itself as a staple event of the beach season and a traditional compeition loved by all!

We will be hosting two competitions on the weekend, Mixed pairs on Saturday 25th January and Men’s/Women’s pairs on the Sunday 26th January.

Note: Registration for this event has been set at $50 which allows for independent referees for all courts so players do not need to duty themselves.

Format for the competition is proposed as follows:

Mixed Pairs

• Standard masters format with age categories of 30+, 35+, 40+, 45+, 50+, 55+ and 60+

Men's/Women's Pairs

• We are proposing something new, the "dinosaur" format (based of the Hawaii Dinosaur Tournament) which uses combined ages rather than traditional age categories.
• Two age categories in each division (age taken as of the 31st December 2025): 
  • 70s - min. combined age of 70 years e.g. 2x 35yo or 50yo + 20yo are both valid partnerships
  • 95s - min. combined age of 95 years e.g. 2x 50yo or 60yo + 35yo are both valid partnerships

Confirmation of this format and whether we need to combine age categories with score handicaps, etc will be finalised based on the numbers showing interest in the competitions.
