AB Morrison Trophy

The ACA Handbook sets out the requirements for the AB Morrison Encouragement Award:

  • The award shall be made on the basis of a player's results in matches played in the Australian Open Singles Championship, including the Plate Event.
  • To be eligible for this award a player must have a grade less than 1700 on the Australian Ranking list at the closing date for entries. The Australian ranking grade used to determine the award may be varied by the Executive and published prior to the event.
  • The winner shall be the player who has won the most games. If there is a tie on games, the winner is the player who has the largest net points total. If there is a tie on games and net points totals between two or more players, the winner is the winner of the game(s) between them if they have met. If they have not met then a tiebreaker of such form as the Tournament Manager deems fit may be imposed.
  • If there are no eligible entrants, no presentation shall be made.
