New Zealand will host next years Trans Tasman
Tournament and I would like to encourage as many
as possible of the competitive ‘Over 60’s’ to
put their name forward for consideration for
selection in the 6 men, 6 women National Senior
Team.
To qualify for selection you will need to be 60+
years of age by 1st December 2007.
As can be confirmed by past and present National
Senior Team members, representing your sport and
country is an experience to be cherished and
even more so when you are jostling for Trans
Tasman supremacy.
The following tournaments will be the key events
for individuals to perform well in relative to
their peers:
-
Hawkes Bay
Classic Doubles
- Napier
-
Peugeot
National Doubles - Wellington
-
National Senior
Doubles - South Island
-
Kapiti Doubles
- Wellington
-
New Zealand
Open - Auckland
-
Hawkes Bay
Summer Doubles - Napier
-
South Island
Doubles - tbc
-
South Island
Triples - tbc
There is no requirement to play in them all but
obviously the more consistent, positive
performances one achieves; the likelihood of
being selected will be enhanced.
I am not looking for players who can only point
or only shoot. I require players that
predominantly point to be able to stand up in a
game and shoot with confidence and accordingly I
require shooters to also have a strong pointing
game.
I would recommend that anyone who is serious
about making the team should make every effort
to compete in the National Senior Doubles to be
held in the South Island on the 8th & 9th
December.
The format for the senior section of the Trans
Tasman Tournament consists of men’s, women’s and
mixed doubles and triples so competing in any of
the listed tournaments as a mixed team won’t be
a disadvantage. Also your playing partner
doesn’t necessarily have to be over sixty, other
than when playing in the National Seniors
Doubles.
Please note that strong performances in other
Open and Regional competitions will also be
beneficial towards selection but each individual
will need to forward their results to me for
consideration.
The team will be announced on 7th February
2008.
You will need to complete a Senior Selection
Application Form to confirm availability and
forward it by 1st December 2007 to:
