Additional Details
There will be a multitude of flights to accommodate all levels of play, so all married paddle couples are welcome and encouraged to participate. Teams will be assigned to a flight based on players’ ability level and with the goal of having skill levels of each team in each flight be as even as possible.

First round matches expected to begin at 11:00am. All matches (except for main draw championships) should be finished by roughly 5:30pm. Main draw championships for the top 6 flights will be held at Evanston GC starting at approximately 5:30pm.

After finishing your last match, all participants are invited to join the festivities at the Evanston Golf Club paddle hut where 6 main draw championships will take place. Dinner and drinks will be served during the championships matches and later into the evening. Get a babysitter and make an evening of it!

This is a rain-or-shine event. With the amount of pre-event coordination required, a make-up date is not possible.

Net proceeds from event are donated to charity.
