WOMENS, MENS AND MIXED DOUBLES EVENTS
Double Elimination Skill/Age
Skill levels of 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, and 4.5, see tournament event details for skill and age brackets. All brackets will be double elimination unless less than 6 teams are entered.
If less than 6 teams, the event will be a round-robin.
You can register 'up 0.50 points' in skill level, if desired. For example, if your UTPR is 3.0, you are eligible to play in the 3.0 skill level event or the 3.5 skill event - but NOT the 4.0 skill level event (as that is over 0.5 points). You can register 'down' in age events.
