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

The tournament director reserves the right to review, and possibly alter the rating of players who self-rate below or above their actual rating. The tournament director reserves the right to merge or split brackets based on event registration.
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
1. Round Robin format by skill level and age brackets.
2. The first 5 teams to complete registration will be entered into the event. In some cases, the event may be expanded when other categories are folded. 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)
