will herein be referred to as a “Participant”.
11. All Participants must wear appropriate non-black sole marking shoes. All

(b) Round 2 – Lucky Loser Draw (if required)
(c) Round 3 – Preliminary Final
(d) Round 4 – Grand Final
Round 1 – Qualifying Rounds

court of each tournament, at a time to be advised by the Promoter. For the
sake of clarity the main court of each tournament is as follows:
(a) Brisbane International – Pat Rafter Arena
(b) Apia International – Ken Roswell Arena
(c) Kooyong Classic – Kooyong Centre Court.

attend the specified meeting point of the tournament they are attending at a
specified time as advised by the Promoter. No warm up or access to their
courts or tennis equipment will be permitted prior to entering the main court.
Participants will each be given three (3) attempts to hit a tennis ball over the
main court net and into a target. The target will be either the boot of a vehicle
parked at the opposite end of the court, or a cardboard cut-out of the same, or
any other receptacle nominated by the Promoter as the target. To be counted
as a successful shot into the target, the ball must clear the net and bounce
once only before landing directly in the target, without rebounding off any
other part of the target. A shot that bounces more than once or does not
bounce at all before landing in the target will not be counted as a successful
shot, however, a ball that bounces once and then lands in the target, only to
bounce out again, will be counted as a successful shot. Any form of tennis
shot, either underarm or overarm, will be permitted. Each Participant must
complete all three (3) attempts within one (1) minute. Any attempts not
completed in this time are forfeited. If any Participant attempts to hit a shot
that is not intended to land in the target, such as any shots deliberately
targeted at the crowd or intended to cause damage to any property, they will
be immediately disqualified.

three (3) attempts in each Qualifying Round will be deemed the winner of that
Qualifying Round and will progress to the Preliminary Final. In the event no
Participants in a particular Qualifying Round complete any successful shots, 5

two (2) or more Participants in a Qualifying Round, each tied Participant must
compete in a “sudden death” round whereby each Participant continues to hit
balls toward the target in accordance with clause 14 and as instructed by the
Promoter until the tie is broken and a clear winner is determined. However, in
the event of a tie continuing after three (3) attempts by each tied Participant,
the Promoter may, in its absolute discretion, determine the winner in a coin
toss.
