Group 3.5 Tournament – February 21, 2026
For the Group 3.5 tournament, the King/Queen of the court format will be used. Winners of each game advance up a court and change partners for the next game; the losers of each game drop down a court and change partners for the next game. More specifics will be provided at the start of the event.
All registered players are to arrive at the courts and be checked in at the registration table by 9:30 am sharp. The tournaments start at 10:00 am.
