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

Estimated start times are posted after registration closes. Typically the largest brackets will start first.

We have been getting questions about the 1/4 zip giveaway that was originally advertised. Due to supply chain issues, we are unable to get the 1/4 zips that were originally planned. We can assure you that the gift you will receive is very nice and we are excited to give them to all tournament players!

If for some reason the 1/4 zip was the reason you registered, please contact the tournament director to discuss your options.

Thanks and we look forward to seeing you at MPC!
