Additional Information
FORMAT
Senior Open and Amateur Format
Double Elimination with no come around (i.e. if a team loses a match the best they can do is bronze. They cannot come around to win the gold).
* Main Draw: Matches consist of a best of 3 game format with each game to 11, win by 2 points.
* Consolation: Each match consists of one game to 15, win by two points except for the final match which determines 3rd place.
* Events will be combined if there are less than 4 teams in Doubles and less than 3 players in Singles. Depending on the number of registered players/teams in each event, we will combine events either based on skill or age to provide the best overall playing experience, given the circumstances.
* Events with 5 teams or less for doubles and 4 players or less for singles will play a Round Robin format. Winners will be determined by matches won, head-to-head, and point differential.
The event has the right to shorten match formats if weather poses scheduling delays.
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.
Pro Format
REGISTRATION DEADLINE FOR PRO DRAWS: TUESDAY, MARCH 5, 2024.
QUALIFYING ROUNDS FOR MENS DOUBLES PRO, MENS SINGLES PRO AND MIXED DOUBLES PRO WILL TAKE PLACE ON WEDNESDAY, MARCH 13TH, BASED ON NUMBER OF REGISTRANTS FOR THE MAIN DRAWS.
Qualifying rounds for the other pro events will take place early on the day of the main event.
Contracted players may receive automatic entry into the main draw based on the MAIN DRAW SELECTION PROCESS. Non-contracted players will sign up for the qualifier rounds. Qualifier rounds take place when the team number (player number for singles) exceeds 48 for an event. If, after pro registration closes, there are less than 40 teams (or players for a singles event) in the main draw, teams/players from the qualifier will be moved over based on the main draw selection process. The remainder of the teams/players will compete in the qualifier rounds. The 8 top teams (players for a singles event) will move on to the main draw. If an event has 48 or less teams/players overall (main draw AND its qualifier), there will be no qualifier rounds. In this case, all qualifying teams/players will be moved directly to the main draw. This will be determined after pro registration closes. Players will be notified by Wednesday following the pro registration deadline.
