You may play down in age divisions. i.e. a team of 55 yr olds may play in the under 50 division but you may not play up in age divisions.
Bracket slots will be filled with the first teams to have BOTH players registered and paid. Listed partners of players who are registered will have 5 days to register to hold their slot. If a player registers for an event and their partner does not register within 5 days, then the original registered player is moved to the waiting list. If your teammate then registers and there is still room in the event, then both are moved from the waiting list and into the event. Each player must register individually. Once the bracket is full, incomplete teams, teams not fully paid, and additional registrants will be placed on a waitlist. Waitlisted individuals/teams will be notified in the order in which they registered as space becomes available.
Medals will be awarded to first, second and third place finishers in each skill bracket.
