Divisions
Saturday – Senior Rotating Partner Round Robin (Warmups begin at 1:30 PM, Round Robin begins at 2 PM)
Two age divisions:
- 55–65
- 65+
Players register individually — no partner required. You’ll be paired with different partners each round in a rotating format. These events typically fill quickly due to the rotating-partner format.
Each division is structured so players compete in two games for every one rest, helping manage fatigue based on past senior events.
