Round Robins and Play Days

A Round Robin is a single event, non-elimination tournament draw format, that lasts for only up to one day. This event format is designed for adult recreational players who are looking for a tournament experience that allows them to compete as an individual or a doubles team. During a Round Robin, you are guaranteed matches with different opponents, thereby providing positive and inclusive play. Tournament Directors will do their best to place players in groups based on their rating and level of experience in order to ensure appropriate competitive play.
