Fawkner Junior Tennis Tournament #4 An ETM Tennis Tournament Q. What is an ETM tournament? A. Equal Time & Match Play. Put simply, ETM tournaments have the following guidelines in place during all organized tournaments. 1. This ETM tournament is a Round Robin Format giving every player the same amount of matches on the court. Every player is grouped into a draw to play against every other player in that draw once to determine the winner of that group. If there are two groups then one winner from each group will play off for the overall age group winner. All other players in each group will also have a play off to determine final group finishing positions. 2. ETM events are either run over a two to three day period which includes at least one weekend day so parents can have better access and availability at getting to ETM tournaments. There are no five day commitment tournaments. 3. There are no events held on long weekends or during local competition weekends so it does not interfere with club competitions or other OJT point’s tournaments & club championship or club events. 4. Matches are scheduled in a block time format of between 3 to 4 hour time periods and are not spread out over the whole duration of the tournament. There is no match overloading so players are not waiting around for hours between matches and players will complete all their round robin matches within their block time allocated to that group. 5. We utilize a simple tournament system by calculating the number of courts we have at each tournament venue by the number of events we have and take into account the time allocated for each set to start and finish.
