Grade 3 tournaments are higher level regional level competitions. Although they are intended for intermediate and advanced players, anyone is welcome to apply although players who are very new to competitive tennis may find the experience of competition at this level a little challenging. Grade 3 competitions tend to take place over a period of 4-8 days with several age groups, often including both singles and doubles events.

Some popular grade 3 tournaments are oversubscribed in which case selections are made on merit according to ratings and/or rankings depending on age group. As a general rule, the application deadline for grade 3 competitions is around least 14 days prior to the start of the competition. This allows any unsuccessful applications sufficient time to apply for a grade 4 competition.

The number of points awarded to players winning successive rounds in a grade 3 competition is higher than in a grade 4 event. All matches in grade 3 competitions also count for LTA RATINGS too.
