You may sign up for different age groups
In order to maximize player flexibility we are allowing players to enter 2 different age groups for both singles and doubles. If you are selected for the OLDER group then you are automatically in that division; you do not have the option to "choose" which age group to play
in, and the player will be removed from the younger age division. Players will only compete in a max of one singles event/one doubles event. Players will be selected based on the most current NC standings list.
