ENTRY DEADLINE: All entries must be postmarked by 02/01/12 to obtain a $10
discount. Entries will be limited to the first 100 players who register and pay.

REGULATIONS: All USATT regulations apply; only USATT approved equipment may be
used. This is an unsanctioned tournament, and USATT membership is not required.

VENUE: Tualatin Hills Athletic Center (see address above) Hardwood floor, DHS Expert
Compact Tables, DHS 3-star 40 mm orange balls.

EVENTS: All matches will be 3 out of 5 games to 11 points.

Explanation One:

    This is a Giant Round Robin event: preliminary RR groups of 4-6 players
    (determined by USATT or Tournament Committee's rating) followed by a 2nd RR of
    4-6 players (determined by the results of the 1st RR). Players in this event can
    expect to play 6 to 10 matches.

    The top two players from each of the 2nd RR groups made up of players who won
    their 1st RR tables will compete in an elimination bracket to determine first
    through eighth places (or sixth or fourth places, depending on number of
    participants). This event is limited to the first 100 players who sign up on a first
    come, first served basis. Doors open on Sunday at 9:00 AM. Tournament will start
    at 9:30 AM. All tournament committee's decisions are final.

Explanation Two:

The plan is to have 75 players divided into three separate, independent groups of 25 each. A group then consists of five tables of five players. For the first round-robin, the players will be assigned to the groups and tables serpentine fashion, thus: the player with highest rating will play in Group A, Table 1, 2nd highest to Group B, Table 1, 3rd to Group C, Table 1, 4th to Group C, Table 2 until all 75 players are assigned. For the second round-robin, the five table winners of each group will play on Table 1, the five who came in 2nd will play on Table 2 etc. Second round Table 1 winners and runners-up of each of the three groups will play a single elimination bracket to determine first through sixth places.

Prize Money Explanation One:

Prize Money: The top prizes will be dependent on the number of players taking part. If
all 100 spots are filled then the prizes will be 1st place: $500; 2nd place: $250; 3rd and 4th
places: $125 each; 5th thru 8th places: $60 each. If only 75 players show, then the prizes
will be 1st place: $400; 2nd place: $200; 3rd and 4th places: $100 each; 5th and 6th places:
$50 each. 1st round table winners: $25 each. 2nd round table inners: $25 each
