The area's very best tournament is coming up! We have all levels for all age groups, as always...
SCHEDULE: Matches start as early as 9 am (except adult matches on Fridays, which begin as early as 6 pm). We try to keep the tournament running ahead of schedule if possible, so be prepared to play! Consolation matches will be played on an as-needed basis as the tournament progresses.
BALLS: Each player or team brings a new can of balls to their match. One can is opened and used, and the remaining unopened can is given to the winner.
SCORING: Main draw: 2 out of 3 sets, regular scoring; 10-point match tiebreak in lieu of a 3rd set. Consolation: 8-game pro set, regular scoring.
VENUE: Matches may be played either outside or indoors depending on weather, player preference, or availability. We will do our best to accommodate court requests, but nothing is guaranteed and assignments are given at the tournament directors' discretion.
