Come join the frightening fun at The Monster Smash at Hot Springs Health and Fitness!

This two-day weekend event features women's, men's, and mixed doubles in up to 3 age divisions and 5 skill level divisions for each. While HSHF reserves the right to consolidate age and skill levels if there aren't enough teams for any event, medals will be provided for lower skill levels and older age divisions that consolidate with higher skill levels and younger age divisions (respectively) upon request.

Skill levels are the following: 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, and OPEN.

Age divisions are the following: 49 and Under, 50 and Above, and Any (for OPEN).

The format is a round robin play with single elimination bracket play afterwards. All round robin and pre-medal match games are to 15 and win by 2, with switching sides of the court when the first team reaches 8 points.  Medal matches (gold and bronze) are played best 2 out of 3 to 11.

There are no referees. Matches are self-monitored. If a referee is requested, we will do our best to provide one.

Medals awarded to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place finishers.
