Play Days
Open Play
Open Play refers to a format where players can register as individuals for specific sessions. It allows players to come and play without a specific play format to follow. In Open Play, players of all levels have the flexibility to play with different partners and opponents throughout the session. Registration Open Play is required. There will be a maximum number of players allowed in each Open Play session to ensure all players have plenty of playing time. Open Play sessions are scheduled for 2 to 3-hour blocks of time. Players should not take the courts until their scheduled session time and should clear the courts at the session end time.
Level Play
Level Play refers to a format in which players of equal skill are grouped together to play. This ensures a fair and competitive environment where players can challenge and improve their skills against opponents of similar ability. In level play, the focus is on creating balanced matchups and providing a level playing field for all participants. Players must register for each Level Play session because there will be a maximum number allowed to participate in order to have plenty of playing time.
Organized Play
In Organized Play, players register individually and follow a specific play format that is coordinated by a staff member or designated member. It is important for all players to arrive on time and plan to stay for the entire session in Organized Play. This is because the game formats and brackets for the entire session are created based on the assumption that all players will be playing the whole time.
