No limit, but divisible by 4

Skill level 3.50 – 4.25

No limit, but divisible by 4

  • About 5 games per individual before playoffs
  • Depending on sign-ups, divisions may run concurrently in the morning, or split into morning and afternoon sessions

BBQ in the Park

A BBQ in the Park for tournament players and volunteers immediately follows the Round Robin. A great way to celebrate the end of the season together!

How to Sign Up

Registration opens August 19 at 8:00 AM and closes September 9 at 5:00 PM on Playtime Scheduler.

  • You'll see separate "bubbles" in Playtime Scheduler — one for each Division. Be sure to sign up in the correct bubble.
  • The court designation in PTS means nothing — courts are assigned on tournament day.
  • For Mixed, Men's, or Women's Doubles, enter both you and your partner: add your partner as a "guest" and note their name in the "Notes" field.
  • If a Division is full, add yourself (and your partner) to the waitlist — we'll let you know if space opens up.
