All matches will be self-refereed (court monitors will be on hand for foot faults and to assist with line calls) and 2024 USAPA rules will be enforced. Our courts are an outdoor surface, but indoors, and we have semi-portable, very durable nets.
Format for Doubles: Partner Teams will play in Round Robin format with single elimination playoff for top 4 seeded teams. Based on number of teams per event the format may be modified. You can sign up with a partner or you can sign up as an individual and check "I NEED A PARTNER". If you register without a partner, you have 3 days from registration to find a partner or you will be moved to the waitlist for your event. Registered players can invite others who have signed up as individuals to play as partners.
