Additional Information

FORMAT
Senior Open and Amateur Format
Double Elimination with no come around (i.e. if a team loses a match the best they can do is bronze. They cannot come around to win the gold).
* Main Draw: Matches consist of a best of 3 game format with each game to 11, win by 2 points.
* Consolation: Each match consists of one game to 15, win by two points except for the final match which determines 3rd place.
* Events will be combined if there are less than 4 teams in Doubles and less than 3 players in Singles. Depending on the number of registered players/teams in each event, we will combine events either based on skill or age to provide the best overall playing experience, given the circumstances.
* Events with 5 teams or less for doubles and 4 players or less for singles will play a Round Robin format. Winners will be determined by matches won, head-to-head, and point differential.
The event has the right to shorten match formats if weather poses scheduling delays.
Please note that if you are playing in a doubles event and your partner does not register within 7 days of when you register, you will automatically be moved to the waitlist. Your spot in the main event will NOT be saved. If (after you are both registered and paid for the event) there is room in the main event, you will be moved back to the main event. If the event has filled up in the meantime, you will remain on the waitlist until a spot opens up.
Pro Format
REGISTRATION DEADLINE FOR PRO EVENTS: TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 2024.
ALL qualifying rounds will take place on Tuesday, February 20th. If there are 48 or more teams for a doubles event or 48 or more players for a singles event, there will be a qualifier for that event. If there are less than 48 teams for a doubles event or less than 48 teams for a singles event, all registrants will automatically be placed in the main draw for that event. Contracted players receive automatic entry into the main draw based on the MAIN DRAW SELECTION PROCESS. Non-contracted players will sign up in the qualifier for each event. Once registration closes, teams/players will be moved to the main draws or remain in the qualifier, depending on number of registrants for each event. Players will be notified on Thursday, February 15th whether they are in the main draw or remain in the qualifier event. Some events may not have qualifiers, if there are not enough players to warrant qualifying rounds.
