Registration Opens:  Monday 13th July 2026

Players may still register after registration closes but your entry will be moved to the reserve list and only allowed to participate if an age group player withdraws within the correct seeding range.

Event Constraints: 

- The maximum number per age group is 32

Players may still register after these limits are reached, but impacted players will be moved to the reserve list and will only be allowed to participate if an age group player withdraws within the correct seeding range.
