Both Partners Must Register Separately

The event has the right to shorten match formats if weather poses scheduling delays.

Changing Partners: Partner changes must be communicated 1 day prior to the event and your replacement must be in the same skill division as you are registered.

Please note that if you are playing in a doubles event and your partner does not register within 7 days of when you register, you will automatically be moved to the waitlist. Your spot in the main event will NOT be saved. If (after you are both registered and paid for the event) there is room in the main event, you will be moved back to the main event. If the event has filled up in the meantime, you will remain on the waitlist until a spot opens up.

What are you waiting for?! Sign up now!

Weather

This is an indoor facility. The only weather we need to worry about is snow. In the absolute worst case scenario where snow restricts players and staff from getting to the building, we will work with venue to reschedule. Note: if the staff are able to get to the venue, then the tournament will be ran, if you get stuck and can not make it, you would need to have purchased weather insurance for a refund. We will do our best to make everyone happy!
