Description

This is a ONE day mixed doubles tournament with skill brackets including: 3.0 and under, 3.5 and under, and 3.5 and above; ages 49 and below and 50 and above, respectively. All net proceeds benefit the Middletown YMCA of Delaware.

*** Brackets will be broken into age groups October 10th and will be done so to ensure quality play and fairness to everyone. This tournament is not sanctioned and will not be fed to DUPR, unless otherwise stated, so age brackets may NOT fall across the 10-year groupings you normally experience.

Both partners must be paid in full with signed waivers for registration to be considered complete and to ensure your spot in the bracket. Schedules will be posted a few days in advance and brackets will be available on the day of play.
