This is a team event. Each team can have 4-6 players and it is gender neutral

There are two skill divisions:

• Beginner/Intermediate - called "Improvers"
• OPEN

Universities can send multiple teams (e.g. one beginner team, one open team). Generally: Improver = below ~3.5 DUPR, Open = above ~3.5 DUPR. Anyone is allowed to play in Open, even if a team member is below 3.5. But no players with a DUPR above 3.75 may play in Improver (questions about this, email Theo through 'contact').

Player eligibility.

Players must either:

-have a current University affiliation (student, staff, etc)

-or be a recent alumni (2021-)

Tournament Directors: Theo Young & Dylan Stephens
