PLATE KNOCK-OUT
Please pay very close attention to the plate event draws and check those for your category, as it varies from age category to age category. Some categories will also have two separate plate event if there are two rounds before the quarter finals.
All plate matches will be knock-out with the exception of the semi-finals, where there will be a 3rd/4th play-off.

The Plate trophy will be won by the person who wins the ‘Plate Event’ – not the ‘Pre-Plate’ event or finishes 5th in the MONRAD format.

Care has been taken, where possible, to ensure siblings do not have matches at the same times at different venues where the draw is known. If this hasn’t been possibly in your case, or the timings are tight or the sitation arises in the latter stages of the tournament, please do your best to plan ahead and ensure your child(ren) arrives on time.
You may notice that there are a few gaps in the schedule on Saturday. I’ve had to leave some gaps for recommended ES rest times and also in case of overrunning but if both players are happy and able to go on earlier, and there is court space, then it may be possible to play matches earlier. If your opponent is not in agreement or it is not this Saturday morning period, please respect the schedule and don’t hassle organisers about timings of games. We all want the tournament to run smoothly and ahead of time but please remember there are over 120 entries and a huge number of matches to play, including some special circumstances.
All times, courts and venues are subject to the discretion of the tournament director.
