Introduction
Welcome to the Irish Tennis Intervarsity 2009. This years intervarsity will be held in Belfast from 10th to 14th March 2009. We are gonna try some new things with this years tournament so watch this space as there will be an updates & a logo coming very soon…
The Intervarsity competition happens each year between Irish Universities and is considered by all instutions as the pinnacle of the tennis year. Queen’s have had mixed fortunes over the years, and we hosted a very successful tourament in 2005 which won the CUSAI Inter-varsity of the year award. The standard of tennis can be quite high with members of previous winners of the trophy representing Ireland at Davis Cup level. Aside from the tennis, it’s a great holiday of fun away with the club, and you get to make new connections with people at other universities.

Date & Format decided
Date: Tuesday 10th - Saturday 14th March 2009
Venue: Belfast Boat Club
Format: -
We are going try an experiment this year by changing the structure to a round robin format. We are going to aim for 4 groups of 4 teams, so get your teams in early for it will be first come first served. Obviously 1sts squads will gain preference over 2nds and so on. The winners of the groups will enter the semi-finals and the runners-up go into the plate. The idea behind this is to give teams who come down value for their money rather than just getting stuffed by DCU 1sts in the first round. This way a team is likely to meet a variation of skill, and get minium of 3 matches. All the other usuals apply. i.e. 6 players per team. 6 singles and 3 doubles, first to 5 wins.
If you have any queries/disagreements about the format and date please email us at tennis@qub.ac.uk
