Seedings
Seeding will be done using only SC and Southern Tournament rankings for adults. Our committee decided to support tournament players (and encourage new ones to play) by using these rankings since there are NTPR divisions. The All Factors Method will be used for any division which does not have rankings available.

No Late Entries
NO LATE ENTRIES will be allowed. NO EXCEPTIONS! All players must be registered and entry fees paid by the close of registration, October 17, 2020. If you registered your partner and did not pay for their registration, then they need to go to the website and register themselves to pay the fee. This must be done by Saturday night or both players will be removed from the draw.
EVEN IF YOU PARTNER HAS ALREADY PAID, YOU NEED TO REGISTER. It is very important each player registers so that we have contact information and your correct shirt size!

If you did not enter a t-shirt size (only one can be entered when you register), please go back into "edit registration" (Located on the web page below the registration tab on the right side of the site) and make sure both players have a size listed. You will need your confirmation #, which you can also locate using edit registration, if you did not keep a copy of your receipt.
