⚠️ Important Participation Notice

To ensure smooth scheduling and avoid delays, players are not allowed to register in multiple categories that overlap or may disrupt the tournament timeline.

For example, players cannot join Mixed Doubles Intermediate (<3.5) and Mixed Doubles Advanced (<4.0) simultaneously, as these categories may conflict with each other.

If a player insists on joining conflicting categories and it creates scheduling issues or risks delaying the tournament, the Tournament Committee reserves the right to require the player to withdraw from one of the categories.

This policy applies to all divisions and categories to maintain fairness and ensure a seamless tournament experience for everyone.
