How we run it

What to expect.

Games

More time on court

We aim for pools of six, with five games before bracket play. In pools of five, games go to more points to keep you playing longer.

Skill levels

Close competition

Narrow rating brackets, often in 0.25 increments, group players at similar levels.

Scheduling

Keep playing

Efficient schedules keep matches moving and reduce downtime.
