Please see the following link for grading of teams for the first match of the 2025 ACTEBA State of Origin.

What is it?

The State of Origin is a North vs South competition that is ran three times throughout the year, taking the best ranked players from the latest Open Rankings from each division and geographical region pitting them against each other.

Team Selection

Four players are selected per division, per region. This is done by selecting one female if one is available and then the top three players as per the rankings after that. I will begin contacting players top-down from each division list in the attached until the four positions per team are filled. If you’re inside the top four or are the top ranked female in your division and know that you will be keen to play this weekend, please feel free to let me know on here.

The North/South split and your division is determined by the most recent rankings from November 2024.

Schedule/Format

Players can expect a 10am start to about a 3pm finish including a mixture of singles races, scotch doubles, and teams events. While there won’t be a stop to play there will be plenty of time throughout the day for food/drink/etc.

Final teams and the schedule will be published once the teams have been set.
