Friday–Sunday, Jan. 5–7, 2024

Registration deadline: Registration is closed.

Start Times

Under Match Schedule, choose the day (Friday, Saturday, or Sunday) and type in your last name in the FIND PLAYERS box. This will list your time and your opponents. If no opponents are listed, it is because you received a bye in the first round and are waiting for the outcome of a first-round match. If you do not see your name, choose a different day. Draws will be posted Friday afternoon. If a player drops from your registered event, you will receive a selection email. If you wish to be removed as an alternate, please contact Tim Montague.
