7.0 and 8.0 Mixed Doubles Events
The 7.0 and 8.0 mixed doubles events will replace the 3.5 and 4.0 mixed doubles events once the deadline passes I will manually move teams who have signed up in the 3.5 to the 7.0 mixed division and do the same for the 4.0 mixed move to 8.0. So please if you are signing up for the mixed divisions sign up for the 7.0 or 8.0 division not the 3.5 and 4.0. We have some players who signed up for the 4.0 mixed you where moved to the 8.0 division and the 4.0 division will not happen.

Friday play
We will start a number of divisions on Friday after 5:30 pm. In past years we did our bigger draws that evening, like the Mixed 4.0 or the men's 4.0 but there is no guarantee which events will start on Friday.

Scorring
Our scoring system has proven to work in past years where it has provided for competitive match play but not forever matches. We play two out of three sets and a super breaker instead of the third set. One difference from other places is in the first two sets, we play a no add games at the second deuce, with returning side getting to choose who returns, so another way of thinking is a maximum of 9 points in each game. This keeps our tournament running on time. In mixed doubles it is same gender serve to same gender on the no add point or game point, this is where the returning team does not pick who returns that point for it is decided for you.
