Good luck!
Due to when we took entries for our summer competition (end of 2025, before AEBF affiliation was available) we did not capture the AEBF affiliation fees for 2026. In addition to this an administrative error caused the ACTEBA 2026 Summer Competition fee to be charged incorrectly ($70 instead of the correct fee of $90 per season).
This means there are three fees that need to be captured:
– $20 ACTEBA Summer Competition fee. This applies to ALL PLAYERS.
– $15 annual AEBF Affiliation Fee. Applies to ALL PLAYERS.
– $20 annual AEBF Affiliation Fee for Representative players. Applies to all players who have traveled to Junior Nationals, Senior Nationals, and the Aus Cup in the past 5 years.
This has been set up to be captured through PlayHQ at the following link: https://www.playhq.com/sports/register/a1bd14
If you have already paid your 2026 AEBF affiliation fee please send the tournament director td@acteba.com.au a copy of your email confirmation/invoice and a voucher code to discount the AEBF affiliation component of the above will be provided.
The form handles the $15 AEBF affiliation and the $20 ACTEBA season fees for everyone.
If you are a representative player this needs to be added as a product on page 5. There are questions in the form that will guide you through what is needed based on whether you have already paid your AEBF affiliation or if you are a representative player.
For the question “Do you play for a club, but are registering to the association/league your club plays in?” The answer is “No”.
We would like everyone to be paid and up to date by Friday 15th May.
Schedule of Play
Please see the link to view the Schedule of play for all of this weekend’s Singles Championships.
Clashes have been avoided except for the thread of matches highlighted in red. Depending on results in earlier matches these may end up running later than anticipated.
Players should ensure that they are at the Harmonie German Club when your match gets called. Aside from the first matches on each day the schedule is a guide – matches in subsequent sessions may get called earlier as tables become available. We are using Poolstat’s SMS feature that will send you a message with a table allocation and match PIN, if matches are not started within a reasonable time frame after the SMS is sent then YOU WILL BE FORFEIT.
Playing Matches
Lag for the first break and then alternate breaks. Poolstat will ask for the first player to break when starting the match. Please finalise your match in Poolstat and the results will automatically come across so that the next matches can be called.
Dress Code
There is no strict dress code other than please no trackies or similar very casual gear. There will be two streaming tables across both Saturday and Sunday and these will look best if you are neat and tidy. A simple polo shirt similar to what many teams wear in the weekly comp is fine.
