AGE BRACKETS: Initial age brackets are 18-59, 60 and above. Final age bracketing will be determined based on registrations. Family Bracket: Child 10-17, Adult 18+ (One adult 18+ who is a parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle, brother, sister, including steps and surrogates, and one child 10-17)
Brackets are limited to no more than 12 teams per skill/age event or when the tournament director deems the courts are at capacity for the day. Additional teams will be put on the wait list and admitted if space permits. You have one day for your partner to sign up before being moved to the waitlist. Order on the waitlist is determined by date and time of the first player of the team's registration. Therefore, entry of the team is not complete until BOTH team members create their online registrations & pay their fees. You will automatically be moved back into the event once your partner registers and pays, if there is still room in the event.
Tournament Director reserves the right to combine or split events, close events when courts are at capacity even if event is not full, and change format based on enrollment.
