Equipment
Goggles/eyeguards are mandatory & may be borrowed, but always good to have your own
Racquets may be borrowed, but it's best to have your own
Sharing equipment is NOT advised since your games might be at the same time as another player
If you don't have equipment at the start of your Qualifier game, then you will forfeit and your tournament is over
If you're not wearing eyeguards during your Qualifier game, you may lose a point each time (& forfeit your match if you continue to disregard the safety rule)
