Team Format Tournament- On Saturday, June 3, from 10AM-2PM (inclement weather make-up June 10th) the club committee will host a team format tournament. At the conclusion of challenge ladder play, players who have registered for the tournament will be grouped into levels of play. While each team will be drawn at random, the intent is for each team to have equal representation among levels of play. Each doubles team will have one match in the team format tournament. These are head-to-head matches, not bracket play.
