Welcome to the AOpen (formerly TOCAO), a grass court grand slam event in association with the Nationstates Tennis Tour (NSTT). As always, there will be two events in this tournament, the doubles event (single gender or mixed gender is fine, as long as one player is not in two different teams) and the singles event. They will respectively have 64 pairs and 128 players in the main competition. If required, there will be a qualifying tournament to round numbers; rest assured, though, nations signing up will receive at least one entry into the singles and doubles main draw (assuming you sign up for both, of course!)
Start date will be Tuesday 25th October; qualifying will be the day prior, i.e. Monday 24th. Signups close at 0100 BST (2000 EDT, 0000 UTC) on Monday 24th (Sunday night in the Americas).
Rankings will be directly assigned from the NSTT Ranking (logarithmic scale) and will be scorinated with xkoranate. RP Bonuses are cumulative and directly added onto rank. To prevent "gaming the system", I'm not revealing the exact details prior to the competition.
Puppets must be declared (maximum of 2 nations per person). New nations may join. You do not have to fill out the whole list.
