Participants register with a partner and play a round-robin format based on their USAPA ratings with a possible mini-playoff of top teams.
There are 4 divisions: Men’s and Women’s on Saturday. Mixed, 65+, and Beginner on Sunday. Brackets will be determined following the registration deadline and based on the total of the partners’ ratings. Please rate yourself fairly.
