Find the Right Senior Category

- Check the senior age category, age cut-off date, and eligibility rules used by the event.
- Look for Senior Men, Senior Women, mixed, open, or level-based categories where they are offered.
- Review whether the event is ranked, non-ranked, circuit-based, social, or part of a wider pathway.
- Use Rankings and Ranking Points to understand how results may connect with competition standing.
Before Entering an Event
Senior players should treat the event listing as the practical source of truth. It should explain the division, venue, schedule, format, ranking relevance, and any licence or registration requirements.
- Entry deadline, draw size, match format, start time, and expected finish time.
- Whether a partner is required at entry or assigned by the organiser.
- Whether the event contributes to rankings, points, selection, or national pathway consideration.
- Licence, registration, conduct, and event communication requirements.
