• Players must nominate their interest in being selected in the Central Region Team with Lauren McDonald by the EOI deadline of 31st October 2016 (date subject to change) by phoning 0428 348 957.
• The top 42 players who nominate can gain selection in the Central Region Team (11/U, 13/U, 15/U and 17/U divisions). This gives a total of 21 boys and 21 girls as required by Tennis Queensland to participate against the other regions of Queensland.
• Only players who nominate, (you can only represent in one age division only), will be eligible at the Central Regional Assembly’s final discretion.
• To represent the Central Region you must be a Central Region Player and have competed in at least 1 CQ Junior Development Series (JDS) Circuit Tournament to be eligible for team selection.
  Players will be selected in the Central Region Team based on the position they finished on their qualifying points in the CQ Junior Development Series (JDS) Circuit, i.e. the Best Results for 2 x A+, 1 x A, 1 x C and 1 x B (ITN Event).
• If more than 6 boys and 6 girls have nominated in the same age group, Australian Ranking Points and CQ Junior Development Series Circuit Points will be used to select team positions.
• If there is insufficient nominations in any particular age group, the Central Regional Assembly Committee will contact players personally, and those players whom have participated in 4 or more CQ Junior Development Series Circuit Tournaments will be notified first in these instances.
• If the Central Regional Assembly Committee is unable to fill all required positions for both boys and girls in each age divisions, than the remainder of team positions will be sourced from other regions. However please note, that this will only occur if no Central Region players are available to fill these positions, after all, we want all Central Region players to play for our region before asking other regions to fill in.

Don’t miss out on your chance to nominate your interest in having the opportunity to be selected for the Central Region Team! It is a fun and fantastic week of tennis in a friendly and supportive team environment!
