Welcome to the next leg of the NationStates Tennis Tour, with the Handon Open making its debut. This is a tier-two, grass court tournament, which takes place at the seventeen-court Greater Handon Lawn Tennis Centre awarding 500 points and $800,000 to the winner. Expect strong coastal winds, and plenty of rain delays, in a country not exactly renowned for its summer weather.

You may sign up a maximum of four singles players and two doubles teams below.

Scorination:
The tournament will be will be scored using xkoranate, and will be based on the current NSTT rankings at the start of qualifying. RP bonus will be generous and cumulative throughout qualifying and the tournament proper.

Format:
The Handon Open will have a main draw of 32 for singles and 16 for doubles, with the 8 highest ranked singles entries, and four highest doubles receiving protected draws. Qualification will take the form of a seeded round robin, although the exact numbers will depend on signups. Wildcards for either qualifying or the main draw will be considered upon request.

Puppets:
As always puppets must be declared, and there is a maximum of one puppet and one main nation per user.

Match day one is tentatively set for the fourth of October, or following the conclusion of the Ergo Championships New Oxford.

'Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom: For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.' (II Timothy 4:1-5 NKJV)

All above accepted:

Firstly, Waspeaters, yes nations who have not competed on the tour before are very welcome to sign up. In fact, it's great to see so much fresh interest.

Since the spaces have filled up far quicker than I was expecting, I may end up deviating from the main draw of 32 format. My preference would be for fewer qualification groups with the top two going through, instead of just the group winners. With that in mind I've decided to cap signups at 80 for singles, and 40 for doubles. So that means there are currently 8 singles and 4 doubles places remaining.

The tournament is still planned to follow the conclusion of the Rushmori Grass Court Swing in Ceni.
