YOUR ENTRY — THE MYSTERY BAG

Entry to the Mystery Bag Tournament is a gift, not a fee.

1. Pick up something worth $5 or more

from The Warehouse, Kmart, a two dollar shop, or anywhere similar. No food. Pop it in a brown paper bag and drop it off at the centre by Wednesday 10 September.

2. What counts:

  • Stationery (pens, notebooks, sticky notes)

  • A small game, puzzle, or card deck

  • A small toy or novelty item

  • Anything fun and useful for someone your age

  • No food please

3. On the night

All bags go into the centre of the court. Every player picks one and takes it home — you won't know what's inside until you open it.

TOURNAMENT FORMAT

How The Tournament Works

It’s a two-hour event at the end of each term. You play singles for the first hour and doubles for the second. Everyone plays the whole time with breaks in between — there’s no knockout. The teams, and players who score the most points across the night wins.
