This will be a skill/age event broken into 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5 & Pro skill levels and different age levels.

In a split-age event, one partner must be 50+ and the other below 50. Events will be combined; when necessary, skill will be combined before age.

PRO events (excluding split-age) will be run using double elimination format. No event will run with less than 6 teams. You will be guaranteed at least 4 games in each event.
We will be playing with the Franklin X40 ball.
