For a guaranteed spot in Mixed Doubles or Doubles, your partner must register and pay within two days of your registration. Incomplete teams will be moved to the waiting list automatically after that two-day grace period. Once the second partner registers and pays, the team will be moved back into the event if there are spots remaining in the tournament.
