If you want to enter more events, each additional event is $10. Mixed Doubles are Friday 6-9pm. Adult/Junior Doubles is 2-5pm Sunday. Both of these are Round Robin. In the Doubles events if you need a partner Pat can pair you up with someone else who needs a partner. The HS kids are required to play in this tourney. There will be plenty of kids playing.
