**Event Limitations Change**
We have had a lot of players ask about being allowed TWO(2) gender doubles divisions. We have allowed it in the past and it has caused numerous scheduling conflicts. We have decided to allow players to play TWO(2) gender doubles this year as well however, IF YOU PLAY TWO GENDER DOUBLES EVENTS, YOU AND YOUR PARTNER WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PLAY IN THE CONSOLATION BECAUSE OF THE SCHEDULING CONFLICTS IT CAUSES. PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT IF YOUR PARTNER IS PLAYING TWO GENDER DOUBLES EVENTS AND YOU ARE NOT, YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO PLAY IN THE CONSOLATION MATCH BECAUSE OF THE SCHEDULING CONFLICT IT CAUSES.
