Ball used for the tournament: Penn 26 (red ball).

The tournament will consist of the 3 (non-gendered) events below:

• Sat Oct 11 (morning): Randomized Doubles: Show up and you'll randomly be assigned a partner!

• Sat Oct 11 (afternoon): Singles

• Sun Oct 12: Doubles: Sign up with a partner, or request one and we can try to help find you one.

For each of the above events, we will have two classes: Beginner (3.0) & Intermediate (3.5 & 4.0).

For each event class, we will aim for two phases of play:

• 1. Round-robin phase: Organized into pools if necessary.  Each match is a single game to 11 points (win by 2, except for max 15; e.g. you can win 15-14.)  Advancement to playoffs: TBA.

  2. Playoff phase: Semifinals & Finals matches are best 2 out of 3 games (each game until 11 points, win by 2).

NOTE: The organizers reserve the right to adjust the format depending on registration numbers and other factors in order to ensure a smooth event.
