In order to submit an application for any event or tournament players need to be registered with the Lawn Tennis Association's British Tennis Membership Scheme. For most competitions an LTA rating is also required too. A rating is an approximate measure of a player's standard and can change according to achievement (i.e. results from matches in official competitions).

Becoming a British Tennis Member is easy. Vist the membership area of the LTA's website www.lta.org.uk/britishtennismembership or telephone their membership department on 0845 873 7202. If you are a member of an LTA affiliated club, then membership is free. Otherwise a small annual fee applies.

Once you have your British Tennis Membership number (and rating), you can then register with us and make applications for any of the events and competitions featured on our site.

If you prefer not to register online, then you can download application forms for all our competitions. These can be posted or faxed to us.
