Additional Information
• This is a small tournament with registration limited to 150 competitors. Numbers are restricted in each event. It is recommended that you register early. If the event you want to compete in is already full, you will be placed on the WaitList. This does not mean that you will not be able to compete. It means that we will try to accommodate your registration as places become available. You will be automatically notified if/when you are removed from the WaitList.
• Open categories are available for Mixed, Men's and Women's Doubles. This is also the category for all players who are rated over 3.5.
• Everyone registering should ideally have a partner registering also at close to same time. A registration is considered complete when the Team is complete. BOTH players must register within 4 days of the first player's registration OR the team will be moved to the WaitList. If you do not have a partner, you can look under 'Players Needing Partners' to find a partner. (Click on the large button next to the logo on the Home page of the tournament website).
* If you have registered and not found a partner by May 5th, you need to contact the organisers to seek assistance.
• When registrations are closed, any event with insufficient numbers for a competition will need to be collapsed and combined with another event. Competitors in the collapsed event will be notified so they can decide if they still want to play.
• Participants are required to enter events at their current skill rating. If you are not rated, consult the self rating guide which can be downloaded from the top of this page.
• At a minimum, referees will be scheduled on the gold medal match.
If you are unavoidably detained and it appears that you will not arrive in time for your game/match, please contact Sheila Capperauld. We can update you on the schedule and consider options but your game may result in a forfeit.
