· Co-ed senior teams (all participants must be age 18 or below as of Sept. 1, 2009)

· Co-ed junior teams (all participants must be age 14 or below as of Sept 1, 2009)

[All participants must be homeschooled or cyber-charter schooled students. Teams play six players at a time including at least 2 boys and 2 girls.]

When:

· Monday, April 5, 2010, 9 AM -- 6 PM. Teams will be scheduled for their first matches as soon as they arrive and sign in. (Note: if more than 35 teams sign up, we will move the starting time up to 8:30 AM or 8:00 AM.)

Those traveling from a distance can arrive as late as 10:30 am and still play a full tournament schedule. You do not need to plan to be there on time since less than a third of the teams will begin to play right away.
