    • Age groups are every 5 years starting with 50 years old (i.e. 50-54 is a single age group)
    • Everyone in the age group will play each other (round robin)
    • Based on who signs up, a couple age groups may be combined in a single round robin, but 1st, 2nd and 3rd places will be by age group only. (i.e. 2 people from the 50-54 age group may be playing 2 people in the 55-59 age group in the same round robin. However, there will be a 1st and 2nd place medal for each age group even though they are in a single round robin.)
    • Men's and women's singles will be arranged in round robins of 4 and 5 people based on their age groups.
    • Men's and women's doubles will be arranged in round robins of 4 and 5 doubles based on their age groups. A doubles pair will play in the age group of the youngest player. Doubles may be pre-determined on sign up form or picked on game day. A person can only be on one team.
  • Mixed Doubles and Random Draw Doubles
    • Due to the typical shortage of women, both the mixed doubles and random draw doubles will be a single event.
    • Those that are not participating in the mixed doubles may play in the random draw doubles, but not in both events.
    • Play will happen concurrently.
    • Mixed doubles and random draw doubles are not age events (other than being 50 years or older).

      • First round is a round robin random draw of 4-5 players.

      • A single elimination of the top 2 players of each group will be played to determine 1st and 2nd place (there will be up to 5 groups and 10 prizes).
