This year’s Senior Handicaps will run from Monday 4th July until Saturday 16th July.

There will be five events including Ladies Singles, Men’s Singles, Ladies Doubles, Men’s Doubles and Mixed Doubles.

If you don’t have a partner for a doubles event please email Sandycovecaptains@gmail.com and we will see if we can allocate a suitable player partner.

Like last year we are using the TI tournament software to run this tournament and the instructions for signing-up are set out below. You can sign-up from today until 9pm on Friday 17th June.

The first round runs from Monday 4th July until Friday July 8th. These matches are unscheduled – in other words they must be arranged by the players themselves. Detailed instructions will be given when the draw is published.

The subsequent rounds will be scheduled and will run from Sunday July 10th until Saturday July 16th. All players MUST be available to play at the appointed times during the second week, so please ensure your availability before signing up to any event. Many thanks for your cooperation with this.

The Handicaps are always a great fun event, so if you a new member, Club night player or just enjoy competitive but social tennis the Handicaps is well worth entering.

Finals Day Party – After 2 years without a handicap finals day party we are delighted to confirm that plans are afoot to host a party on the evening of the Finals Day in the Club. Further details will be announced in the coming weeks so please look out for this event which promises to be a traditional Sandycove celebration!

Sign-up Process

Sign up for the Club Handicaps is now open and will close on Friday 17th June at 9pm. The sign up process is simple and takes no more than 5 minutes. This year’s event has been set up on the Tennis Ireland Platform at Club Handicaps 2022

If you don’t have a TI profile please find steps below.

Step 1

Create a Tennis Ireland tournament Profile (this is different to a DLTC profile). Simply log onto the website Tennis Ireland and create (bottom left of the home page) your own unique profile and log in password. Do remember to enter ‘Gender’. Once registered you will receive a confirmation email together with your PIN number.

Step 2

Once registered and logged in, go to the ‘Tournaments Tab’ and enter Sandycove Club Handicaps in the Search bar. This will bring you to the Tournament online entry page where you enter the events that you wish to play in (For the 2022 Handicaps a maximum 3 events per person are allowed) and in the case of doubles your partners name and PIN number. Should you not have a doubles partner please email Sandycovecaptains@gmail.com and we will allocate you a partner if one is available.

Step 3

Once step one and two are completed you will see at the bottom of the online entry page a facility to let the Tournament organisers know if there are dates/times where you are unavailable. All those entering the Handicaps should in principle be available for the tournament dates so as to best assist the Club in planning and executing a great event.

Please use the ‘Unavailable’ time or day facility where possible as this will help us greatly in the scheduling of matches. While the Handicap Committee will endeavour to facilitate players where we can, due the anticipated large volume of entries, there is no guarantee that we will be able to do so and there maybe occasions when this is not possible.

IMPORTANT Notes:
The event entry portal will close at 9pm on Friday 17th June.
If you have any issue with accessing the registration tool/process simply contact us by email at sandycovecaptains@gmail.com or any of the captains directly.
