Players must play the same age

Doubles Registration Procedure:
Players must play the same age division in singles and doubles, but
you do not have to be in the singles draw to play doubles.
There are two ways in which a team will be placed in the doubles
draw.
1. If both members of the team sign up with each other online, and
both have gained entry into singles they will be placed on the draw
at the time of singles selection. BOTH partners must have indicated
each other as partners to be considered. If both signed up together
online, but one of the players did not make the singles draw, it
will be necessary to follow step 2 below to confirm your
registration
2. After on-line singles registration closes, a team may be placed
in the draw by contacting the tournament director (information
above) with your partner's information by 12:00 PM on the Friday
before the start of the tournament. Both partners need to contact
the tournament director to verify the team. If both players do not
confirm with the tournament director, the team will not be accepted
into the draw. Again, if you registered for doubles correctly in
step 1, but one player did not make the singles draw, please
confirm with the tournament director that you would still like to
be considered for doubles only. If you do not confirm, it will be
assumed that you do not wish to play doubles.
If you do not have a partner, email the tournament director by the
above deadline(Friday, June 9 @ 12PM)and let them know you would
like to be placed into the blind draw.
