Term 4 Badge Competition CANCELLED
With the recent release of the roadmap and Tennis NSW having a better understanding of the situation ahead it is with great regret we have made the decision to cancel the Term 4 Badge Competition.
This means that the teams that were placed first at round 9 will be declared winners of each of the divisions. The prize money will remain the same as 2020 and those teams will be contacted this week.
Majority of Tennis NSW costs of running the Sydney Badge competition have already been incurred which is why no refunds will be given for the 2021 Badge season. We may look to reduce team fees in 2022.
Thank you everyone for your patience during this unprecedented and challenging time. I encourage all of you to reach out to your players and play in local competitions for the remainder of the year when community sport returns.
We look forward to seeing you all for the Badge season in 2022.
Kind Regards,

However, with this decision we are also bringing good news. Tennis NSW will be running an 8 week Badge Competition across Term 4 to make up for the lost weeks. Please see the competition details below. This competition will be free of charge for all 2021 Sydney Badge Teams. This competition is also subject to change pending the public health advice.
Competition details:
Start – Thursday 7th Oct & Sat 9th Oct
Finish – Thursday 25th Nov & Sat 27th Nov
Times remain the same
8 week competition – 7 weeks of play with 1v2 GF

All teams will need to opt into this competition if they wish to play.
[Please advise your MLTC Team Captain or Denis ASAP if you/your team wishes to participate in this Term 4 competition.]
There will be no significant changes in the grading of this new competition. If teams choose not to play and we need to move teams to make even divisions, they will be moved according to current ladder positions from the 2021 season.
Majority of Tennis NSW costs of running the Sydney Badge competition have already been incurred which is why no refunds will be given for the 2021 Badge season and why we a running this Term 4 competition free of charge for the clubs and associations.
