This year’s tournament features expanded divisions to accommodate more players and allow players to better select the appropriate one in which to play.
Enter as a single player in the “rotating-partner” divisions or as a dedicated doubles team in the “fixed-partner” divisions.
This tournament is round-robin format with traditional side-out scoring. All players are guaranteed a minimum of 7 games. Depending on participation numbers and other factors, some divisions may also have a playoff in which the top 4 teams will play in semifinal matches then either a first-place or third-place match.
In regular round-robin play, there is a time limit of 11 minutes per game, with a four-minute break in between games. Games end either when one team reaches 11 points (win by 1) or if the time limit it reached. For games not concluded at the end of 11 minutes, each team will be awarded however many points it has scored when time runs out.
In the case of playoffs, semifinal matches will have a 12-minute time limit, and both first- and third-place matches will be played out to 11 (win by 2) with no time limit.
You are encouraged to enter in multiple divisions! The tournament is broken into four sessions throughout the day. You can register in one division per session (or up to four divisions total). If you enter more than one division, you will receive a $10 discount for any additional divisions.
In the fixed-partner mixed, women’s and men’s divisions, there are the following skill-level options:
Note: The “Family Feud” divisions are also fixed-partner, but will not be broken into different skill levels. This division is strictly a recreational division. Competitive teams — even if they are parent-child teams — are asked to enter more appropriate divisions.
In the rotating-partner women’s and men’s divisions, there are the following skill-level options:
Note: The Co-Ed Junior division (open to players 13-17) is also rotating-partner, but will not be broken into different skill levels.
This is a community- and family-oriented event, and while we expect healthy competition, you’re on the honor system to enter the appropriate division – no “sandbagging.”
In the fixed-partner divisions, you’ll play with the same dedicated partner for all games. You and your partner both must register individually — make sure to fill out the field on the entry form to let us know who your partner is for any fixed divisions.
Players will register for any rotating-partner division as an individual and will “rotate” to play with a different partner for each game.
***As registration proceeds, tournament management reserves the option to combine/cancel divisions as needed if divisions do not fill.***
Note: Entry fee includes a tourney t-shirt and your choice of breakfast or lunch.
All entry fees are considered a charitable donation and are non-refundable. Your donation is tax deductible. You will receive a confirmation email that will serve as your receipt for tax purposes. Please check your email spam/junk filter if you don’t see the email.
