Wait Lists:
- We have set limits on the number of teams for each Skill/Age Bracket. Players who register after their Skill/Age Bracket is full may register for a Wait List for that Bracket. If court space allows, we will move teams from the top of the Wait Lists into the active Events. A team's order on a Wait List is determined by the date/time that the latter partner registered. However, teams that are not paid-in-full will not be moved from a Wait List into an active Event.

- Online registration is required, no paper forms.
