> IMPORTANT <
If a conflict in match times does arise, you will be forced to choose one event to play and one to forfeit. Unfortunately, we do not have the time and space to rearrange matches for players.
>> NOTE: A PLAYER CANNOT PLAY IN BOTH JUNIORS DIVISIONS. <<
If you sign up for both, you’ll be automatically removed from the 17 & Under.
We will not be starting any Waiting Lists for this event.
If it is full, the only way to get in is to show up at the Player’s Meeting and see if there are any last minute openings.
Occasionally people withdraw and a spot may open here online. Sometimes we’ll announce that on our facebook page. If that happens, it’s just first-come, first-served. So, check back in often and keep an eye on our facebook.
There is no need to call or email asking to get on a list – we will not start a list.
