Due to the fact that our women’s and men’s meet ups have had minimal participation, we have decided to change the meet up days. We will continue to have the Women’s Meet Up on Mondays but Tuesdays through Fridays will be Mixed Doubles. This is not a permanent decision and will be reviewed at the end of the summer August 31.  This will begin this coming week July1.  The rules for mixed doubles will be:

1. The individual players will be grouped as to their ability- low intermediate; high intermediate and advanced. 
2. All individuals who come to play must commit to playing six games
3. Each game will last 12 minutes

4. Ladder play will be the format

   Play time 6:45pm

   If there are any questions, please contact me Joan Moore 201-370-3033
