Events Offered

Adult Events

• Men’s Open Singles
  Advanced Players (High Ranking High School Players, DIII College Players, and NTRP high 4.0 to low 5.0 players have played this tournament in the past).  This should not discourage you from playing – but give you an estimation of the level of competition you could see.
• Men’s Open Doubles
  Advanced Players (High Ranking High School Players, DIII College Players, and NTRP doubles teams of solid 8.0 to 9.0 players have played this tournament in the past). 
• Women’s Open Singles
  Intermediate to Advanced Players (Generally adults, varsity high school players with occasional local DIII college players have played here.  Level will generally have highly consistent players)
• Women’s Open Doubles
  Intermediate to Advanced Players (Similar player mix to Women’s Open Singles.  Strong high school players and adults)
• Mixed Open Doubles
  Broad Spectrum of players – Intermediate to Advanced.  Fun first – but still strong players.
• Men’s A Doubles
  Primarily an Intermediate division made up of juniors (JV and Varsity high school players, but not Open division caliber) and adults/seniors that are extremely consistent and wily but perhaps lack the power or physicality of the Open division.

Junior Events

• Boy’s 18U and 15U Singles
  These are “18 and Under” and “15 and Under” divisions.  A player needs to be within the age category as of the dates of the tournament.  High ranking 18U players should consider playing the Open division if they are looking for higher competition. 
• Girl’s 18U and 15U Singles
  These are “18 and Under” and “15 and Under” divisions.  A player needs to be within the age category as of the dates of the tournament.  High ranking 18U players should consider playing the Open division if they are looking for higher competition.
• Girl’s 17U Doubles
  Generally would be considered a junior varsity tournament for younger players that would not feel comfortable playing the Open division.
