Provisional Forward Tournament Schedule for CA Events

Please note that these are provisional dates and venues, and are subject to change, particularly for later years. They are provided to assist players with their personal plans, and to assist clubs to avoid clashes when planning their own tournaments. The Western, Eastern and Northern Championships and some international events are not CA events, but are listed here for the same reasons.

Dates and venues are finalised at the time the fixtures book is published for the appropriate year; any information published here in advance should be considered provisional, and any forward planning should bear this in mind. In the event of any discrepancy, the fixtures book should be considered correct.

Applications to host an event should be made to the relevant tournaments committee; requests will be solicited at the appropriate time. The lawns column is an approximation of the number of lawns required to host the event and is provided as guidance to clubs.

*: Groups

Following a growing number of clashes between events, the CA has conducted a review, during 2018, of the tournament calendar to see what could be done. This has generated the following principles. Subject to confirmation by the relevant committees, the intent is that these will apply for the 2020 season. They are published here for information, in order to obtain feedback from players and as guidance to clubs planning.

Group	Description	Events	Scheduling Principle
Group A	Fully representative international events	AC and GC Home Internationals AC: Maugham Salver, Solomon Trophy GC: England v Spain MacRobertson Shield and Openshaw Shield in years held WCF singles events (to the extent that the CA has influence over the dates) Note that non-representative international events such as CA v (e.g.) CAI are not included in this group	Group A events should not clash with each other
Group B	CA's Flagship Events	AC and GC Eights (treating the suite of eights in each code as a single multi-venue event) AC and GC Opens AC Mens and Womens (Singles and Doubles) GC English Nationals (Singles [Ascot Cup] and Doubles) AC and GC Inter-Counties AC and GC Inter-Club Finals AC and GC IPD Coaching Weekend (one per code)	Group B events should not clash with each other, or with any group A event
Group C	Other Championships	AC: Regional Championships (West, East, North, South of England) and C2 Championships (Coles, Surrey, East Midlands) GC: Whole of the GC Championship Series [8x Ascot Cup Qualifying Events] Other CA events: Peel Memorials, Challenge and Gilbey, South of England	Group C events should not clash with a group A or group B event of the same code
Group D	Age-Specific Events	AC and GC Juniors, Students, Seniors, Veterans	Group D events should not clash with the matching group D event of the other code
Group E	Other	Everything Else	No constraints
