COMPLETE registration means: both partners have registered, signed the waiver and paid in full.

In doubles events, at least one of the partners must be at the correct skill level. (based on the player's CTPR rating on the day of registration)

FORMAT

Your fully registered team must be listed on the waitlist to be considered. eg. (4.0 women ages 60-64). If the Tournament Director decides to expand the group to 8 teams, the first 3 teams on the wait list will be admitted to the event.
3. Age/skill events with fewer than 3 teams will not run. In some cases, the Tournament Director may combine events (with another age/skill event) to form a merged event. (eg. 3.5 men ages 50-59)
