Senior players are welcome to play with a younger partner on Saturday in either Mixed Doubles or Doubles in addition to the Senior events on Sunday.
Registration is by skill level. Skill levels with a large number of teams or players will be split by age into playing brackets. Playing brackets will be configured based on the number of registrations.
Teams <b>MUST</b> play in the age group of the younger partner. For doubles and mixed doubles, you <b>MUST</b> sign up at the skill level of the higher rated partner.
<b>DUPR ratings will be used for bracket placement.
