System of play: groups followed by main and consolation/placement draws. All matches are best of 5 games. With 16 players, four groups of four followed by a full placement draw provide six scheduled matches per player. With eight players, two groups of four followed by a full placement draw provide five scheduled matches per player. Group sizes and draw structures depend on accepted entries; six matches are not guaranteed for every event size.
Separate Senior Men’s Open Band 1 Singles, Senior Women’s Band 1 Singles, Senior Men’s Open Band 2 Singles and Senior Women’s Band 2 Singles are offered. Men’s Open and women’s events within the same band will only be combined if insufficient entries make a separate event unviable.
