Registrations for the 26th Berri Teams Carnival (18-20 May) doubles tournament are now open.
The highly popular Berri Teams Carnival which has been running for 26 years strong will see over 500 participants compete in the doubles tournament from 18 – 20 May in Berri, South Australia.
The Berri Carnival doubles tournament is mostly played on lawn at the Berri Tennis Club and at other Riverland Tennis venues including Renmark, Loxton and Barmera. In addition some matches are played on carpeted courts at the Berri Tennis Club.
Men’s and Women’s teams consist of at least four players, and each team can nominate up to six players for each match. Teams generally nominate for an Open competition, or a competition based on the age of the youngest team member ranging from 35+ up to 70+ in 5 year intervals. The abilities of the team members may also influence the age competition in which the team participates.
The popularity of the event has grown dramatically since its earlier days, and now regularly attracts over 500 players in about 100 teams.
Many teams from Adelaide and South Australian country areas as well as teams from Victoria, New South Wales, Western Australia, ACT and New Zealand regularly participate in the carnival.
The social atmosphere of the Carnival is a particularly attractive feature of the Carnival, including the friendly competitive nature of the tennis. Social activities include an informal dinner on the Saturday night as well as other impromptu meal arrangements. There are also other Riverland attractions such as the many golf courses and the beauty of the River Murray and the river surrounds.
