Jointly hosted by the HKTA League Management Committee and the Chinese Recreation Club, the 8th Tennis Convenors' Tournament was held on the final Sunday of this year's CRC Open. A total of 15 club representatives plus a trio of LMC members took to the courts. This year's winning tandem was Yeung Kwong Tin (MSSRC) and Derek Ling (LMC), while Frederick Keung (CCC) and Look Kwong Chou (WONDERLAND) finished in second place.

Format of Play: round robin and elimination doubles format. Four games were played per match with normal deuce (i.e. one player will serve one game each); and whenever the score reached two-games all, a 7-point tiebreak was played.
Pairing-wise, players were matched up with the objective of equalizing the strengths of each pair in order to level the playing field to ensure better competition.
The winners were presented with trophies named in memory of the late Tsui Wai Pui and Tsui Yun Pui — affectionately referred to as "The Tsui Brothers" — for their contribution to Hong Kong tennis.
Participants include Mr. Frederick Keung (CCC), Mr. Peter Kwong (CRC), Mr. Ng Yun Biu (CSSA), Mr. Peter Tong (DBRC), Mr. Stephen Ng (HFCC), Mr. Raymond Tsang (HILLTOP), Mrs. Debbie See (HKCC), Mr. Wesley Chau (HKFC), Mr. Ivan Wong (KINGSWOOD), Mr. Alex Wong (KTC), Mr. Yeung Kwong Tin (MSSRC), Mr. Au Ying Yeung (SCAA), Mr. Look Kwong Chou (WONDERLAND), Mr. Ernest Chiu (YTRSA), Mr. John Tong (YYC), Mr. Kenneth Tsui (LMC), Mr. Derek Ling (LMC), and Ms. Polly Yu (LMC).
