The 2009 Southern State Open Team qualifying round was held at the Hobart Workers Club on May 30th

Although dissapointing that 9 entries were only received, the 6 qualifyers to proceed to the last 24 on August 1st and 2nd at the LWC is made up of some of the best young up and coming players the State has, along with last years State Team vice captain - Sam Thurgood and Ben McCauley making it through to the last 24 and the open team manager for the last 10 years Phil Dando qualifying in 6th position
