START/FINISH: Play is scheduled to start Thursday and you will almost certainly play a match Thursday. As always, we will do our best to accommodate your scheduling requests, but realize they are indeed just requests and not all of them can be met with such a large field. The last final should be done by 4:30PM on Sunday, please schedule your trip accordingly. We will try to schedule those Finalists with a plane to catch before the others, however it’s not always possible.

HANDICAPS: As this is a handicap tournament, all players are requested to have a non-volatile, RTO verified handicap. Those who do not have an acceptable history of play will be subject to the evaluation of the Tournament Directors and may not be allowed to enter.
