(ie-Players may not rig rankings going into the tournament.)

Team Format Tournament- On Saturday, May 13 starting at 10AM-6PM (inclement weather make-up May 20th) the club committee will host a team format tournament at Battery Park. At the conclusion of challenge ladder play, players who have registered for the tournament will be grouped into levels of play.

These are head-to-head matches, not bracket play.
