**********************************************************************************

For a GUARANTEED spot in an event, both partners must be registered. Beginning on July 1, 2023, players whose partners have not registered within 7 days of their registration, will be moved to the waiting list. Once their partner signs up, they will be moved back in IF THERE ARE SPOTS REMAINING IN THE BRACKET AND THE TOURNAMENT.

Players without partners after registration closes, WILL NOT be included in the event and will not be eligible for a refund. Encourage your partner to register early to secure your spot.
