NOTES
• 8:30 check-in, 9:00 start
• Tournament shirts and other shirts available for purchase while supplies last
• No special "start-time" accommodations
• Your teammate must sign the waiver by joining your team; help is available if this proves difficult
• We will be grilling for donations to the Philly Beach fund
• Don't sandbag
• You should register for the division of the highest level player on your doubles team.
• For quads there is a bit more wiggle room, since there are specialized positions, but the average level of your team should be the level you are registered for.
• If you have placed (1st or 2nd) in your division twice you should move up to the next level
• While we would prefer to keep a light touch, we reserve the right to move teams to a more appropriate division if their play history indicates that they are in the wrong division.
