Only the first seventy players who register will be allowed to play.. first come.. first play!!

Trophies will be awarded to the first and second place in each division (tie breaks may determine winner in some cases, Games won may be crucial in  determining  if you win a trophy, so all games are important. if games are equal then head to head result will be the second tie break)

  MOST IMPORTANT… (Besides signing up ahead of time)…….SEE BELOW!!

PLAY BEGINS AT 6:30 SHARP!!! IF you cannot arrive early please skip this event.

We will have special starting times, pay attention to these details…the club will open at 5:45 for set-up and warm-up and close at 10:15 (last game at 9:55) so we will have a little extra time. Player Meeting at 6:15 Sharp!

The first Matches will begin at  6 :30 but I will allow a 6 :45  match starting time for three people in each division …(again first come first serve on a special late reservation) please I cannot have  too many late starters as we must finish in one night, if you cannot make arrangements to start early on one special night please skip this event! ENTRANTS MUST BE READY TO START ON TIME OR RISK DEFAULT!

Entry Fee $8 for adults $6 /16 and under

Sign –up early, I expect this event to fill up quickly, ratings from October 3 results will be used. Sandbagging will be duly noted.

Entries are non-refundable. After the event is fully subscribed I will allow a short waiting list for last minute drop-outs although I hope we don’t have any!

Regular round robin rules apply, best out of five games, 11 point games. Maximum 90 second warm-up before each match.

At the end of the night, People MUST put away their table…it only take 3-4 minutes and it makes it easy to close up at the end of the night.
