A bracket will be setup and managed by tournament organizers. Players will play a best of 3 sets (3rd set being a 10pt tie breaker, win by 2). Winner is determined by winning 2 of 3 sets. Players will be allowed 15 minutes to warm up with their opponent. To determine who serves first, the organizers will flip a coin at time of the match. Each player is responsible for bringing their own supplies, to include water and food.

Inclement Weather: In the event of inclement weather, organizers will try to reschedule or a partial refund/credit maybe given in the event the tournament cannot be rescheduled.

• Format: The tournament is a 48-player knockout bracket, consisting of men & women of all skill sets
• Match Length: Each "match" consists of exactly one point.
• Winner: Whoever wins that single point wins the match and advances to the next round.
• The "One" Serve Rule: While women are allowed two serves (a first and a second), Men are restricted to just one serve. If a player commits a service error, they lose the point immediately.
• Determination of Serve: A game of "rock, paper, scissors" is played before each match to determine who serves or receives.
